The current talk of the town is Black Doves - a British spy thriller staring the likes of Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire.
Helen (Knightley), the wife of the Secretary of State for Defence, quickly discovers that her identity as a Black Dove is in jeopardy after her lover is killed by London's underworld.
With the help from an old friend, Helen finds things incredibly difficult in this new thriller series, but with the extra help, things may not be as bumpy.
Many viewers have flocked to the likes of Twitter to praise Black Doves, which is making even more people delve into this thrilling spy series.
One Netflix subscriber took to Twitter and wrote: "Goddddd BLACK DOVES is 10/10. And even with 6 episodes it still feels like a completely fleshed out show with world building and real characters, quick-witted dialogue AND gay stuff! What more could you want from a series? Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw you will ALWAYS be famous."
A second added: "Impressed by Netflix casually dropping the ridiculously entertaining #BlackDoves at the end of the year without much fanfare as if it wasn't an absolute triumph. People are going to be quoting the dialogue for years."
Meanwhile, a third remarked: "Just finished binge watching Black Doves on Netflix. It was really good. Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Andrew Koji carried."
Black Doves sits at a hugely impressive 98 percent Rotten Tomatoes score following its release on Netflix earlier this week.
Rebecca Nicholson, from the Guardian, penned in her review: "Inevitably, this will earn comparisons to the other big spy shows of the year. It isn’t as composed or as witty as Slow Horses, and not as self-serious as The Day of the Jackal, but in among the chaos, it finds its own voice."
While the Financial Times' Dan Einav wrote: "Black Doves manages to be as enjoyable to watch as it evidently was for an ar*e-kicking Knightley and co to make."
