“Black Doves” was so good that I ended up binge-watching the rest of Season 2 in one sitting. Season 1 was great, but Season 2 takes it to a whole new level. For fans of British spy thrillers, this is an absolute treat. The story beautifully captures the lies, love and hate, sadness, loneliness, and loyalty of spies and assassins, building up to an action-packed finale. Above all, Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw are simply outstanding. Kathryn Hunter as the handler of hired killers and Ella Lily Hyland as an assassin are also fantastic. Every single character is brilliantly written and brought to life. I could watch this forever. I really hope there’s another season. Highly recommended! 👍🫶

I’ve made it to Episode 1 of Season 2 of “Black Doves.” The espionage, the tone, the dark humor, the mind games, the action—it’s all so well-balanced. As you’d expect from a British production team well-versed in spy thrillers. I’m definitely watching this one all the way through! 🕵️
Valid gripe but no programme maker wants a large gap between seasons. Changing that model would require recommissioning shows much earlier than most broadcasters are currently comfortable with. Frustrating for us when it becomes the focus of the conversation but what can you do
I had a lot of thoughts about s2 of Netflix's Black Doves, with Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw, but also about what an increasing pain it is to reengage with TV shows that take two years off between seasons: whatsalanwatching.com/review…

Once you’ve seen an actor have a tantrum in a wig it’s hard to take them seriously doing a tough pre-match piece to camera on Sky sports

October 2026 is the 10 year anniversary of The Ritual film shoot.
This month, one decade ago, I had my set visit in the Carpathians, Transylvania, Romania.
A time of magical transformation.
Halloween is when I re-watch the film & reminisce.
