British criminal series has always been one of my favorites. Far better than any American productions, more reality, less shooting, good story and believable strong characters. For example Top boy or The fall, really good, old school production. When I saw Black doves I got exited, because I can hardly find anything interesting on Netflix nowadays. Unfortunately, this show is terrible from the first episode. Of course we have leftist agenda and two random guys having sex for no reason, it does not bring anything to the story beside informing us that the lead character is gay. Ok, I get it. They we see a party of gay friends casually doing cocaine. I wonder why gay people are almost always shown as reckless, irresponsible sex and drug addicts?

I do not know how is this doing any good to the gay community. I am not gay and I have no problem with gay people, I am only disturbed watching pointless scenes that does not bring anything to the storyline. The same applies to any sex scenes in any movie.

Then we have a scene where somebody finds a single bullet shell after a sniper assassination, it is the main lead to the story. How on earth you want me to believe that a professional sniper left a huge bullet shell behind on a crime scene? It is really disappointing because some parts are good. Good dialogues with a bit of sarcasm and British humour but the story is so weak, it does not keep me focused and I constantly think why...

I don't watch many movies nowadays because most of them are simply very bad, I rather stick with the series but this one here did not dissappoint. I wanted to see something longer, without shooting, killing, with some dialogues and I found it. It has good plot, good acting. There are no forced sex scenes, almost no sex at all but there is a good tension between the main characters. Their interaction is very realistic. It is good fun that keeps you watching until the end. Of course it is not a masterpiece but if you want to spend enjoyable evening, maybe with your spouse, I can recommend it to you.

It starts off well but it gets nowhere. Plot is not interesting and main character barely speaks the whole movie. There is a narrative voice of his but he has no dialogues with anybody, he does not even say thank you, when he should, what is quite annoying. Another annoying thing I noticed in his behaviour, he has zero facial expressions and he stretches his neck every few minutes. I wondered if this was invented by Michael or somebody told him to do it. I really have no idea what is the value in it. So, as you can see, this movie is so predictable, boring and flat, that instead of enjoying it, you start finding those strange annoying details. At the same time you wait for something interesting to happen but it never does. Skip this one.
