Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire as you've never seen them before. Black Doves, a six-episode spy thriller, coming December 5th. Trailer music: Bang Bang, performed by Raye Watch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.

Black Doves is the latest spy thriller in a season where spy thrillers are practically tumbling out of the closet. The best of them, Slow Horses from Mick Herron's books, have been chugging along for several seasons now, but we just also had Taylor Sheridan's second season of Lioness, the updated reboot of The Day of the Jackal, and the US remake of The Bureau from a hit French series from the 2010s.

that's described as a 'Mossad meets The Krays' that began as a British crime family, and the head of that family is played by… surprise guest star TRACY ULLMAN??!!!. How do you expect even the most brain-dead person to buy any of that? That's not to say Tracy Ullman can't play someone evil, but the script doesn't lay any real groundwork or context to make her a feared and deadly Bond villain.
