Just started "Black Doves" on Netflix.
Looks like it has potential. It's a spy thriller starring Keira Knightley. Anyone else watching it?

(1,126 posts)Numerous subplots and situations that rang totally false. The shifting between time frames and confusing main plot kept me from suspending my disbelief throughout all the commotion. Many of the scenes were poorly directed. The actors give it their all, but their talents were generally wasted. Too far fetched to be believable.

(24,361 posts)Some of the subplots and situations were not totally credible. And it was a bit confusing at times. But it's one of those shows where you just go with it and enjoy it. You can't overthink it. I'd probably give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

I love Keira Knightly too.
Sarah Lancashire is a favorite. .We loved Last Tango in Halifax and now I have to watch the other one.
La Coliniere
(1,126 posts)She gives a performance for the ages. A fantastic show created and written by Sally Wainwright who also created and wrote Last Tango in Halifax. A very talented woman. Both series share the same locations.
