For most TV shows, this kind of dynamic would be treated as normal and a necessary case of RuleOfDrama because it's generally seen that TrueLoveIsBoring in fiction, and so you ''need'' the toxicity to make the relationship drama compelling. However, the show actually justifies this in both their first scenes, where Jane admits she failed her psych evaluation to graduate into the CIA and John casually but downplays admitting that he was dishonorably discharged from the military; in short, right from the beginning we're told this is a show about two sociopaths, and while a lot of the times [[HeroicComedicSociopath the show uses this for dark comedy with their mission performances]], it makes sense that the two wouldn't be the most healthiest and well-adjusted couple.
