Black Doves (2024) Netflix Series Review

[@videostoryanalyses8910]

The fact that the wife of a government minister can walk around unnoticed seemed kind of absurd.

[@onestepcloser5925]

It's insanely ridiculous

[@user-ef7kt5sf6o]

The British public don’t care about the government most of the time so it can get away with it

[@jaijai5250]

Not really. I don’t watch mainstream tv, and don’t engage with politics and so called democracy anymore. I wouldn’t recognise any of them. I wouldn’t even recognise the leading politicians anymore.

[@steffenbendel6031]

What should they do? They have no personal in the police force. Do not remember to see one at all.

[@marcfryd5878]

Watched episode 1 in total disbelief, as the scriptwriting added cliché upon cliché. My worst TV series in 2024, together with Silo.

[@857noel]

I loved this, it is very much tongue in cheek. Yes its ridiculous and far fetched but hugely enjoyable

[@OneRedKraken]

For me the problem with the show is that both me and my wife found it hard to root for a woman's who's got a family, and decided to risk it to investigate the death of the man she was cheating on her husband with. I get she's a spy, but meh. Also, The show introduces too many characters and tries to turn on the stakes immediately but in a way that I didn't find enthralling. I don't care about any of these characters yet. But apparently I'm supposed to because the sole interest of the first episode is if you end up caring for the main character, who's morally bankrupt. Meh. If you want a good spy TV Show. Watch "The Americans." Way better pacing and action. After the first episode of a show I should be hooked, but this didn't do it at all for me.

[@LiangHuBBB]

its not good, almost no action. watch the day of the jackal if you wanna see sth good

[@JackKirbyFan]

Oh Chris. That's discouraging but you saved time and I appreciate it. Love long and prosper :)

[@nevskislake]

I really enjoyed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People with Alec Guiness. My husband is also really enjoying Slow Horses. Thank you for your review, Chris!

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

I like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as well! I'll have to check out Smiley's People. Thanks!!

[@calvinm1866]

Nice review, Chris. The only show I've been watching that's similar to Black Doves is Spec Ops: Lioness. I've been enjoying every episode. I have a feeling the upcoming episode is going to be just up my alley.

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

I need to get back to that series!!

[@calvinm1866]

@MoviesAndMunchies Yeah, you do. Your review of the first few episodes of the first season made me remember the show was even out.

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

@@calvinm1866 oh nice!

[@akshaytrayner1960]

I enjoy lioness

[@janechoy2073]

Binged it, realliy enjoyed it! it's an action estionpage flick on netflix, so i didn't think too hard about it and had a great watch. The actors are wonderful and it's good to see the core 3 actors play characters that they don't typically play.

[@jaimepardo]

I loved this show. It’s fun, silly, has a smattering of ultra violence & is really well acted. Is it completely absurd? Hell yeah! But that didn’t spoil my enjoyment. Is Jack Reacher just as silly? Yup and I love that too. Sit back, switch your brain off and enjoy the ride. Some folks are taking this all way too seriously. I mean, spoiler alert, Tracy Ullman is the head of a criminal gang. Nuff said 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@PassaporteEstrangeiro]

Excellent review! Thanks!

[@TheCaptainBuckles]

Man, I admire your patience with this show… Not sure if I even finished 3rd episode in full. It was boring most of the time, didn’t like any characters, almost all of them were doing things that seemed illogical. Like professional killer Sam being called to watch over her former padawan Helen first night in and sneaks out on a “date”? Or professional killer Elmore - has Helen at gunpoint and despite being twice the size of her, gets beaten, disarmed, immobilised and then sushed like a kid - not to make a sound because the family is asleep upstairs. Well, he knew he was done so what did he cared? Surely he’d make the situation difficult for Helen if he started shouting. More so - Helen didn’t have a gun at that point. Then there’s a cut and he’s being walked over to the shed for slaughter 🙄 not to mention that he earlier prepared a bomb which Helen and Sam dodged “miraculously”. … and also the fact that Elmore just walked through the open back door without even having to break in, and despite Helen having the past she had and an arsenal of firearms in her secret drawer - she didn’t bother to put even the simplest of alarms on? Just lost my patience on picking holes and got bored on endless cuddle flashbacks 🙄 not for me😐

[@jaijai5250]

The first episode seemed good, but I agree that it was quite boring and didn’t make any sense. Don’t think I’ll watch it again.

[@theworkerhours3141]

You didn't need to write an essay on this series.

[@TheCaptainBuckles]

​@@theworkerhours3141 Will be working on a comic strip version soon for the younger audience 🤣Stay tuned 😉😜

[@jeffgrundy6480]

P,s,the acting is not good, I would have liked to see more of the Irish and Welsh girl the best two characters in my appinion

[@loladiaz3534]

Did you watch the agency?

[@indochinaconnex4308]

The massive focus on the gay aspect of Sam was over the top

[@lilmissnoname7782]

There was no focus on “the gay aspect”. What the series depicted was a doomed relationship that just happened to be between 2 men.

[@marvinabugov4579]

As compared other recent British located soy shows like Slow Horses or The Diplomat, this show is a bit a dud. Watched the first two episodes and I fell asleep each time. How do you spell B-O-R-I-N-G / Disjointed. I’ll be fair and watch the third hour, but if I fall asleep again . . .

[@jaijai5250]

Hahahaha. Took me a week to watch because I fell asleep. I can’t binge and awake if I’m interested.

[@jaijai5250]

Censor tube…..why are you deleting my comments? It took me a week to do son because I kept falling asleep. I can normally binge and stay awake if it’s interesting. Censor tube….please don’t delete.

[@bobbennett4813]

Is this meant to be a comedy? If it is it’s not very funny, if not it’s amongst the most incredulous bull I have tried to watch. Good actors hamming it up and I’m not convinced they believed in the script. Struggled to make it past the 3 episode. Knightley wearing an ‘ incredible’ disguise of a hat hides a mic in a flower that could pick up a single conversation in a crowded pub was the last straw. Clunky and ridiculous

[@mattyboyb523]

Thank you for this!! I’m a huge Slow Horses fan so the bar is set quite high. Think I’ll stick with The Agency for now and keep looking elsewhere for an additional spy thriller

[@videostoryanalyses8910]

Obituary is an interesting irish show.

[@cazkrt]

Slow horses watching the seasons all again a proper thriller with some depth.

[@HelenL2-b1i]

Thank you for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Crochet.Awhile.and.Listen]

Thanks for the review. Not my kinda show tho.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Awesome

[@nadeemullakhan1510]

Watch the Day of the jackal

[@jacotromp59581]

Sounds good

[@PANIKPLANET]

Sorry, this time you are wrong. I think this series deserves 4 couches. It's well produced & very entertaining. Compared to other series, "Black Doves" creates a special atmosphere. Keira Knightley and her Buddy are amazing in this show.

[@kirajoehall3289]

Yes, Slow Horses is a very good series. But nothing will ever beat the Americans for me. That show never got the respect it deserved.

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

Something tells me there are more Funko Pops than meets the eye ..

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

LOL! So. Many. More.

[@jeffgrundy6480]

I enjoyed the first episode, then it went every British crapp talking unbelievable dialogue if this had been done in America it would have been great,hope they don't do another series once again Netflix has bombed

[@michaelfox6878]

Yes, it's altogether ridiculous. I'm going enjoy watching the whole thing. Then I'll watch the often cited Slow Horses which unfortunately won't feature the wonderfully blood splattered Kiera.

[@steffenbendel6031]

It is a sharknado, where some people did not get the over the top memo and try to act seriously.

Nope
