QUENTIN

I’ll be honest… although I remember enjoying the first season of Black Doves when I watched it two years ago, I pretty much forgot it existed until Season Two showed up in my queue. If the season hadn’t been just six episodes, I might have skipped it altogether. I’m glad I didn’t make that mistake because it could be Netflix’s most underrated show, especially if you enjoy The Diplomat. They genuinely feel like sister shows, with this sibling offering more action-filled spycraft than backroom diplomacy. It’s well-acted and even better written, featuring a fast-paced, twisty, and surprisingly funny mystery. I won’t be forgetting it this time.
