Netflix’s new no.1 show,Black Doves, has quickly risen to topthe best streaming service’s chart following its early December release – and it’s a refreshing departure from those otherwise feel-good festive shows that are also capturing viewers' attention. The show is set around Christmas time, though, so there is some festive flex.
While there was a lot ofexcitement around Keira Knightley’s starring roleinBlack Dovesahead of its release, since Netflix aired the show the critical reception has been very strong –Rotten Tomatoes says its ‘top critics’ rate the show at 100%, which is a rare accolade indeed. Enough to call it a masterclass, no doubt.

Black Dovesstars Knightley as Helen Webb, a spy who has been passing on valuable secrets of her politician husband (Andrew Buchan). But when her secret lover, Jason (Andrew Koji), is assasinated, things take a turn – and her employers send in an assassin, Sam (Ben Whishaw), to help protect her.
As you’ll note from that ensemble cast of British heavyweights, this is one very British drama-thriller of a show. Its creator, Joe Barton, whose previous work includesthe also-100%-ratedThe Lazarus Project, is certainly a rising screenwriter star.

Still, while there areplenty of quality shows to watch on Netflix this December, for an alternative Christmas viewing session – one with a much darker tone than your typically festive shows – all six ofBlack Doves' episodes are streaming now. It’ll likely be knocked from its top chart spot as more festive goodies appear on the streamer.
