Just started "Black Doves" on Netflix.

Looks like it has potential. It's a spy thriller starring Keira Knightley. Anyone else watching it?

1. I'll start it I like Keira Knightly

2. I see it also has Sarah Lancashire. Love her.

[La Coliniere]

3. Check out Happy Valley or Last Tango in Halifax

if you enjoy Sarah Lancashire’s work. She is dynamite in both series, especially Happy Valley where she plays a cop and gives a performance I will never forget.

4. I've seen all the episodes of Happy Valley, that's where I know her from

I’ll have to check out the other show you mentioned, thanks!

5. Just finished it!

Loved it.

6. Can't say I enjoyed it very much, but my wife thought it was good.

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.

9. I agree to a certain extent

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.

12. That's my take-away as well

10. I agree with this assessment

of course such shows will strain credulity in the quest for entertainment but I felt that so much of it was ridiculous

7. We finished this last night. Very entertaining series. The production company, Sister, is the same one who

did Chernobyl. Rupert Murdoch's daughter is one of the founders. She's the most talented child he has IMO and she's not a conservative like her Dad.

8. It's very good

I watched the whole series. Worth watching if you like this kind of espionage thriller with interesting work/life balance tensions. I've been a fan of Ben Wishaw since Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006), an underappreciated film that manages to do justice to a brilliant novel.

11. Thanks for that tip

Never heard of the Perfume film, really want to see it now. I first became a fan of Whishaw in London Spy and then A Very English Scandal, both of which I rec.

13. We just finished watching it. Yes the multi layering was confusing.

I may have to re-watch it. to get my head straight.

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]

15. Check out Sarah Lancashire in the Brit cop series Happy Valley

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.

14. Did everyone understand who the woman was with the boss lady in the last scene? I didn't catch it upon viewing

the episode so I googled it and the reveal makes the show even more intriguing.
