Spies, London, Keira, Ben, high-quality cinematography, beautiful soundtrack – what could possibly go wrong?

Fairytale of New York Written by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowan Performed by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl. Besides, I already know that this is my favorite genre and I will overlook any shortcomings that may appear. But when the dialogue in Episode 1 was slow, a few moments dragged on too long, and scenes of Quinten-esque dialogue left me speechless, I tried to console myself.

I was wrong

Surely they were just developing the characters and setting a unique tone. As the episodes dragged on, I realized that this series wasn’t going to deliver. Not only was it inconsistent, but it had very few characters I actually cared about.

I’m so sad about what could have been

Honestly, I don’t know how the magic happens, but I found myself deeply drawn into the stories and characters in Slow Horses, The Americans, Le Bureau, Diplomat, and even The Old Man — despite all their flaws. Add to that the lack of stakes and the numerous omissions of basic details, and the ratio of irritating to intriguing became too high to be enjoyable. Yes, all the basic spy elements are there in Black Doves, but somehow the recipe lacked salt, and by E03 I was already cranking up the playback speed.
