Netflix viewers are praising a ’10/10′ thriller series that has garnered a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

The British spy thriller, starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Andrew Koji, follows a spy named Helen (Knightley) who has been living undercover for years as the wife of a top politician.

With only six episodes, the TV show has been lauded for its rich storytelling, dynamic characters, and sharp dialogue.

Fans of the series have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and shared high praise, further fueling the show’s popularity.

One enthusiastic viewer tweets: “Goddddd this is 10/10.”

Another writes: “Impressed by Netflix casually dropping the ridiculously entertaining show. People are going to be quoting the dialogue for years.”

A third chimes in with: “Just finished binge-watching on Netflix. It was really good. Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Andrew Koji carried.”

Critics have weighed in with praise too.

Jeff York wrote for The Establishing Shot: “It’s a smart, frolicking action-adventure full of twists and turns, but it also knows how to make the most of its stars, expand upon an audience’s expectations, and even riff cleverly on current events in our topsy-turvy world.”

For Awards Buzz, Abe Friedtanzer said: “There are so many spy shows on TV, but this action-packed, highly entertaining show is definitely at the head of the pack.”

The series has also achieved a remarkable 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes since its debut, solidifying its status as a must-watch.

With more viewers discovering Black Doves, its reputation as a standout spy drama is likely to grow, making it a highlight in Netflix’s offerings.

And for those who are already a fan, they’ll be delighted to know that a second season has been confirmed.

The show’s creator, Joe Barton, says: “It’s never happened before. Most things I work on get canceled almost instantly.”

He adds: “So, I was all prepared to have a really nervous Christmas this year. I was on holiday, and in an Italian supermarket, when I got a call from the producers saying, ‘Come home, you need to start writing, we’re doing more.'”
