Season 1 of Netflix's hit espionage thriller Black Doves dabbles in the genre's requisite staples — intense car chases, lengthy shootouts, scrappy hand-to-hand fights to the death — but the series' most compelling draw comes from creator-writer Joe Barton designing a more subdued and insular take on the traditional spy epic. The bleakly witty tightrope Barton walks favors suspense, subterfuge, the immense psychological strain such a life places upon his endearing characters, and the sly, unexpectedly moving ways their interpersonal dynamics drive the entire story.
