Black Doves Season 2 . Hooray!!!!

[viques]

Knew it was on the way but have just spotted that it has landed. Great.

🤗Phone to silent and do not disturb sign on the door

I saw it advertised today! I’m away to rewatch season 1 again then watch 2.

Watched the first two episodes this afternoon - very enjoyable.

Loved the first series so hoping this is just as good. Only daft thing is that there's no way she'd just be able to skip off out of Downing Street to go for a jog without protection officers. Although the whole thing is ridiculous so I guess you just have to let those plot holes go 🤣

@Crinkle77 Agreed! I was thinking the whole time: “Where is her protection?!” And also she swans around London, in King’s Cross station, in various pubs and cafes, and not once does a member of public say: “Oh! It’s you! The Prime Minister’s wife!”

I laughed when she was walking around! No one recognised her in the cafes or the streets and no one ever asks where she has been. Enjoyable though.

This. I am just starting episode 3. I am enjoying it - it's fun and a bit ridiculous. BUT.... she's the prime minister's wife and she never seems to have security, no one ever recognises her and she can disappear for hours and hours on end without an issue. It is slightly pushing my ability to suspend disbelief!

But I do love a bit of Kiera so I'm letting it go.

She has another gorgeous coat this season. I loved the one last season and seem to remember it getting a bit wrecked, but think she has replaced it with an even better one, a sort of tweedy trench coat. Mucho fab imo.

Agree about no one recognising her, the only person who seemed to do a double take was someone she walked past in the Black Doves HQ building, a young woman with dark hair who turned around and gave a hard stare, I had a feeling she has been seen before.

Aha! Just found out who the mysterious young woman was. Thought her character had been killed off, but I was wrong!

The nanny?

I guessed who Sam's targets would be too but enjoyed episode 1 and looking forward to episode 2!

Binged it all last night. Amazing.

I don’t entirely understand it, but I love it.

I think they have set up for a series three.

Hope so anyhow. It could become a regular ‘leading up to Christmas’ treat, like Strictly used to be.

I’m on episode 4 and I’ve obviously missed something as the timeline is confusing me re Helen’s first ‘proper’ job ordered by Reed. I can’t make sense of how this marries with Sam’s location and the phone call between him and Reed. Can anyone help please?

I've just finished episode 2 and feel confused already too.

loving it!

Thanks for the heads up! I just binge watched all the episodes over 2 days. The last episode was the only one that was disappointing - I hoped they would all be set free and I thought they were leading to Kiera Knightly finding out Elizabeth was her mum but that didn't happen.

Just watched the first episode. Fun totally unrealistic escapism - loved it!

I’ve worked it out - I’d misremembered how Helen was involved in the attack on Sam and Michael in series 1, so it all makes sense now.

I binged it yesterday. It was entertaining but I preferred the first series. So many unnecessary deaths in this series just trying to rescue one person. It was completely daft. Also questioned how she remained quite so anonymous gallivanting around London!

Binged it too. Agree that not having protection officers with her makes it feel preposterous but once you manage to suspend disbelief it’s a good romp. I thought Sam coming to terms with his lifestyle was well done, loved seeing the mad assassin pair back, also Lenny (but did she grass on Sam to the Kestrel guy?).

I also agree there was a massive body count but cant remember if series 1 was as high?

The backstory for Reed was interesting and I guess showed there were layers to her, although not particularly nice ones. She put the job above her child. Like many male characters though…

I’ll keep it for Xmas !

Probably a different audience but enjoyed seeing Lenny again, after seeing the same actress playing the charity shop worker in Ann Droid!

Exactly what I thought. It didn't do it for me this season unfortunately. I was disappointed as I really enjoyed it last season.

Enjoyed it - ridiculous, obviously, but much higher production values and more humour than say The Gentleman.
