Plot: Helen embarks on a passionate affair with a man who has no idea what her secret identity is; caught in the crosshairs when her lover falls victim to the dangerous London underworld, Helen’s employer’s call in Sam to protect her.
Black Doves was not that good.
Pros: The action is very lethal & efficient. Ben Whishaw & Keira Knightley work well together & the mount of times I kept my investment with this series.
Cons: Over the course of the series do drags on the plot. I couldn’t make sense what was happening because there so much talking in my background. It all feels generic from the spy thriller genre. Williams & Eleanor were not fun to watch in my opinion & it does know what it wants to be but didn’t execute all there storylines that well.
