My Rating – Black Doves Streaming on Netflix My Rating
8.5/10 Remember those great sentimental British Christmas movies like Love Actually and Last Christmas well, Black Doves surprisingly has a few of those holiday moments in its six dramatic episodes, I say surprisingly because this British spy thriller has some very violent moments with shootouts and executions. and some very dark moments, however, these scenes are almost comical, or perhaps like many, I have become a little desensitized to the violence on television and in the films expertly directed by Alex Gabassi and Lisa. Gunning and written by Joe Barton stars Ben Whishaw, Keira Knightley and Sarah Lancashire, all in top form, playing very dark characters with double lives, working together and independently in a quest to solve the murder of a prominent Chinese diplomat.
I have seen him play before
Ben Wishaw plays Sam Young, a friend of Helen Webb, played by Keira Nightly. These two unlikely trained assassins work for their ruthless boss, Reed. by Sarah Lancashire in another splendid departure from her usual Police Inspector roles.
The other supporting role I enjoyed was played by Kathryn Hunter as Lenny Lines, another ruthless assassin recruiter
Reed is a real scene stealer in Black Doves as she sells secrets to the highest bidder, regardless of any national allegiance. Black Doves is moving along quickly with a lot of interesting characters, including Helen’s husband Wallace, an influential and ambitious politician who ignores his wife’s double life until the dramatic conclusion. As I mentioned earlier, I was surprised by some of the lighter touches in the snow scenes, Christmas carols, and presents being handed out around the tree, which I thought added another dimension to what could have been a very dark series.

I hope we see another series of Black Doves, it’s a quality production. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres of this month.
