Black Doves is pretty fun, worth a watch

Watching the first episode now, wasn’t sure whether to start it or not, not a big fan of Ikea Knightley but enjoying it so far, Ben Wishaw is good.
Keira as an actor or a person? She seems fine in this, but I haven’t seen her in much besides Bend it like Beckham so I don’t know much about her(I’m outside the UK).
Have just finished watching The Deuce, one of the best things I’ve ever watched, the ending made me feel surprisingly sad, end of an era type of thing. Big thanks to whoever recommended!

As an actor, don’t really know anything about her as a person, she’s decent in this so far but not really buying her as a bad ass killer.

This has been decent so far, spy mystery thriller with an all star cast

It’s a remake of The Bureau, a French series.
The original is one of the best series ever, imho. Well worth checking. It’s superb.
Going to dive into The Agency when I’ve got a few episodes to binge.

Yes the bureau was fantastic! Not in any rush to watch the remake but interested to hear if it turns out to be any good
Wolf Hall from the off, proper cast!

Short film made by a man with a lot of free time, probably too much money, and a passion for the Beatles…interesting to see the type studio

Wolf Hall pop fact, according to IMDb: “Mark Rylance has stated that the codpieces on the otherwise historically accurate costumes were made smaller at the request of PBS who felt that American audiences might be offended.”

Black Doves- Netflix
First episode was promising, second seems to have descended into Guy Ritchie-esque dialogue and cliched mythologised Laandaan gangster tropes.
Not sure I’ll persevere

It continues more or less in that manner. It was ok

Thought the same, watched the first two last night and it started great but seems to be going rapidly downhill.
I will end up watching the rest though, because unless something is truly awful I always have to see what happens in the end…
On a more positive note, thank you to everyone that tipped The Penguin, it’s brilliant.

One Hundred Years of Solitude on Netflix
Absolutely gorgeous (but I really don’t know if I’m going to be able to last 13 episodes, especially if they’re all an hour long)
