Black Doves Season 1 Review
‘Black Doves’ Stars Keira Knightley in a Solid British Espionage Thriller with a Christmas Feel. The new show from Joe Barton, the creator of ‘Giri/Haji’ and ‘The Lazarus Project,’ also stars Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire. Launching with all six episodes on Netflix on December 5th, ‘Black Doves’ almost feels like it could be a crossbreed between an expensive BBC drama and a Shane Black movie.
The former for the production values and starry British-led cast (with the financing instead coming from the world’s biggest streaming service) and the latter for the chewy, satisfying dialogue, occasional bursts of violence and Christmas setting.
