What Is Black Doves About?
Netflix describes the show as ‘a sharp, action-filled and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice.’ Set in London during Christmas, it follows Helen Webb, a shrewd, levelheaded mother who just so happens to be a professional spy. For a decade, Helen has been passing on her politician husband’s darkest secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves.
However, when Helen’s clandestine lover, Jason, is killed, her spymaster calls on Sam, an old friend and former assassin, to protect her. With Sam at her side, Helen begins hunting Jason’s killer – and she stumbles headfirst into a conspiracy that connects London to a huge geopolitical crisis that is about to change everything.
