Keira Knightley Intrigues in Netflix’s Potent Spy Thriller ‘Black Doves’: TV Review


In Netflix's spy thriller "Black Doves" Keira Knightly stars as Helen Webb a wife, mother and covert spy determined to find out who killed her lover.

In Netflix ‘s “ Black Doves,” a British spy thriller created by Joe Barton, the audience meets Helen Webb (an outstanding Keira Knightley), the wife of the U.K.’s Defense Secretary and a mother to two young children whose life seems picturesque. In a stunningly moving scene, Sam leads his shaken and shattered partner, Michael (Omari Douglas), to safety amid an unexpected and bloody shootout at their apartment. While the performances and pacing of the series are top-tier, the complex web at the center of “Black Doves” gets convoluted by the season finale, “In the Bleak of Midwinter.” A visual diagram would have helped keep the massive tangle of clues, significant figures and organizations straight.
