Black Doves

Despite a stellar cast I’ve been very disappointed with Black Doves. I did finish it. I couldn’t understand what the Irish girls were saying most of the time. Style over substance. Despite the main character being a spy at risk of death on a daily basis and her husband a Govt minister they appeared to have no help at home with their kids.

I am now on episode 3 and it's starting to get really silly.

On episode one still. Keep thinking it's implausible. smoking in the hall!!
Being to get into hard drives easily.
Surely a woman her position would have had a nanny.
Yes and the landlady letting her into the flat like that.

One episode left to watch and I'm still asking myself why ? Why am I still watching and why don't I turn it off?

Agree with Retread - not a patch on Slow Horses. Can’t believe I wasted 6 hours of my life on B.D.

I watched it until episode 3 when I decided I'd had enough of violence and bloodshed. I also had difficulty in trying to see Keira Knightly and Ben Wishaw in such bloodthirsty roles.

This is odd as my dd came to see us today and recommended it. We thought we would see it tomorrow but I thought she said it was on Amazon Prime.

I quite liked it

Sorry I started a new thread, didn’t notice this one.
I just loved it. I know there is a lot of violence but I just interpreted much of it as a spoof with plenty of black humour.
I think Sarah Lancashire is brilliant.

I felt the same Farzannah. I liked the styling too

Great actors and much hype. Very disappointing though. I watched the first episode and gave up. I hated the whole premise of it and thought the characters were horrible.
