✨📺Season’s Streamings! 🔔If you were wondering whether or not to stream on , DO IT!!

🎄It’s a festive spy thriller
🔪Keira Knightley is BADASS!!
📺Six episodes, an easy binge
🕵🏻Plenty of action & drama - someone on my X comments said “The spy thriller vibes of meet the witty assassin vibes of .” Spot-on!!

It kinda gives the same feel does in terms of the Christmas movie/not Christmas movie debate. Black Doves borders on being a show, kind of.
