Black Doves

10/10 - one word “Excellent”.

What's the point of making this a spy thriller with characters like Sarah Lancashire, just to infect it with unrealistic and useless protagonists? I don't expect realism, but I do expect sense. This flies high with contradiction. It tries to go against the 'stereotype' but ends up looking silly. 'The Day of the Jackal' on Sky knew how to put romance at the centre of a character, this puts 'romance' at the centre of the story. You can almost taste the factory plastic taste it leaves behind. The little details and dialogue go a long way, but as soon as it hits any ounce of action, it turns into something completely different.

@tylersonofnel said it best, lesbians were the best part of this show + sam who should be considered a lesbian.

it was just bland. some great cast/acting but for the most part ur just lost in a story that u think is about love? or spies? or murder? idk, couldn’t keep up and didn’t even feel the need to. too many unnecessary flashbacks, annoying.

of course it all comes together and is ‘fine’ in the end but an underwhelming finale that pisses me off will always ruin a watch for me. 3/10 couldn’t recommend

Den blev bättre på slutet. Men helt okej

Pretty good like the twists and characters. Ended nicely. 3.7/5

Kiera Knightly at her best 🙌
