Black Doves (2024) TV Thread

[Mister Magoo]

Cracking cast - Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire as you've never seen them before. Black Doves, a six-episode spy thriller, premieres December 5.

Looking forward to this, Joe Barton has written some really interesting stuff.

This looks great!

I liked this, its watchable but has lots of plot holes. It may be a bit cartoony for some, and the rapid plot coincidences need to be ignored.

 

[Casey]

Finished it last night. It was watchable but unbelievable beyond the bounds of the usual unbelievable for spies on TV.

 

[Scotty G]

Finished this yesterday. It's very enjoyable, totally unbelievable but I'm fine with that. Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw are both very good.

Really enjoyed this. The two leads we excellent but I thought the two girl assassins stole every scene.

Nowhere near as good as Killing Eve. The level of Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh's acting is in a whole other league to that of Keira Knightley. Ditto Gary Oldman in Slow Horses and a much better ensemble cast if you want to watch something about spies.

I mean, it's entertaining, don't get me wrong, and there are some good bits, but it's three stars out of five, at most, whereas Killing Eve and Slow Horses are five stars
