Esta Rosevear BLACK DOVES delivered an exciting, highly entertaining second season of crazy, violent escapism. If viewers wanted to create a drinking game every time someone was shot, stabbed, stomped or kicked, no one would be left sober or standing. Every scene has to be dealt with a huge chunk of disbanding every shred of disbelief. Then and only then, can the sarcasm and fun be recognized.
BLACK DOVES stars Kiera Knightley and Ben Whishaw. They are a fabulous duo that represents the yin and yang of every male/female relationship. Their subtle facial expressions and lightning-fast banter was simply fabulous. Their characterizations are at the center of every over-the-top situations they find themselves into while running amok throughout the world of spies and assassins. They bring the heart and soul to the forefront. They are magical together even when you can’t believe what just happened.
The supporting cast is phenomenal as well. The whole gang isback double-crossing each other at every turn. It was an added boost to have so many layers peeled back to their very core. This added another foundation as to why they do what they do. The amount of havoc and insane choices never disappoints or gets old. Also listening to the almost normal dialogues while characters are taking down bad guys is hilarious. Viewers will almost forget what the action is while taking in their human perceptions, doubts and concerns over their relationships. It is all just a hoot and cannot be taken too seriously. Bravo for all the comedic levity.
BLACK DOVES ended with a great pay-off and a possible path to more stories. I would love to see where Sam, Helen, and Reed go next while I think they are saving the world by taking out one villainous group at a time. Don’t miss it while it is us streaming on Netflix.
