First, I liked this show. However, it is a spy thriller in the same way that Love, Actually was a movie about politics. Yes, LA was about a prime minister, but it was a love story. Black Doves, for me, was a romantic/buddy comedy with the spy theme thrown on to give a little frisson. I love good spy shows, and this wasn't one. It was a pretty good romantic/buddy comedy, though, so I recommend giving it a try.

Keiran Knightley and Ben Whishaw have great chemistry as partners in crime. There are nice comedic turns by assorted assasins. The bloodshed is the over-the-top Tarantino kind that is fun, but not thrilling. Overall wonderful, fun acting.

Some shows are so bad you turn them off. But some, some are like a car accident and you keep watching because it's too horrible to turn away from. FAM is like a high school production of Glengarry Glen Ross with all the kids dressed up like adults. Except they're still kids, and you never forget it. This is a real stinker
