The reviews are in
If your idea of a perfect night in involves a cozy blanket, a little mystery and a plot twist you absolutely did not see coming, I have a Netflix recommendation for you: Black Doves. The hit spy thriller dropped all six episodes of season two on Nov. 5, and a week later it’s still hanging on strong sitting at number two on the Top 10.
The new season picks up with undercover spy Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), who is still juggling her secret life while her politician husband, Wallace, inches closer to becoming prime minister. But things get complicated fast when Helen and another operative retrieve mysterious Wildflower files from a Russian oligarch in Paris.
Her handler, Elizabeth Reed (Sarah Lancashire), suddenly goes missing, setting off an investigation that uncovers a secret 1988 East Berlin operation and Reed’s estranged daughter, Katya, who is seeking revenge.
Meanwhile, Helen’s assassin best friend, Sam Young (Ben Whishaw), finds himself caught in a dangerous web of blackmail and contract killings. With threats closing in on both the Black Doves organization and Helen’s family, the two must race to figure out who’s behind the coordinated attack.
And if the storyline alone hasn’t convinced you to dive into this twisty world of espionage, the reviews might do the trick. Season one earned a 92 percent Tomatometer score and a 65 percent Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. Season two has managed to top both, scoring an impressive 96 percent with critics and 68 percent with audiences.
Viewers are just as hooked, with one fan writing, “Even better than the first series and prob one of the best series I’ve watched in a long time. Loved it.”
Another praised its “Excellent suspense, story and action!” adding that it’s a “Very twisty turning spy thriller that definitely keeps you guessing.” A third reviewer summed it up simply: “We loved it! The acting was great and it was refreshingly unpredictable.”
All six episodes of Black Doves season two are streaming now.
