Fairytale of New York Written by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowan Starring The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

This 6-part Netflix spy thriller promised a lot but ultimately fell short of everything it could. With a top-notch cast including Keira Knightley as a ninja-kicking gun-toting action hero, as well as Ben Whishaw as her former mentor and now colleague, expectations were high. Both are agents for a top-secret mercenary espionage organization called Black Doves, whose controller is Sarah Lancashire, best played by Judi Dench as "M" in a hideous platinum blonde wig. It certainly starts with a bang, as we see three young people murdered in central London.

The trio have been working together, but alone, trying to uncover some grand conspiracy

There's a separate plot that follows the off-screen death of the Chinese ambassador to Britain, whose party-centric daughter has also inconveniently disappeared, threatening all sorts of international political strife. It's no great surprise that these two developments later converge, both stories overlapping with Knightley and Whishaw's work, not least because she, in addition to being married to the government's defence secretary, is also a member of the British government's anti-corruption campaign. caught up in the political wrangling over the ambassador's death, she herself also had a passionate affair with one of the three killed at the start. Various other characters are brought into the kaleidoscopic narrative as Knightley and Whishaw get drawn deeper and deeper into an increasingly inscrutable conspiracy while a mountain-sized body count piles up around them, sometimes in their hands, while Whishaw still has time to rekindle an old romance.

It picked up again to a tense and exciting conclusion, relied heavily on exposition, and didn't seem to quite know when to stop

Sharply directed with believable acting from its A-list stars, it somehow failed to live up to its early promise for me, floundering on an overwrought plot that relied too much on chance, gun violence and quirky, offbeat characters. When it all comes together at the end, I felt it fell somewhere between James Bond-style fantasy and Le Carre-style realism, with the escapism unfortunately ultimately winning out. When I started watching it, for the first time in my life, I felt like I wanted to watch all the remaining episodes, it seemed so good, but after about episode 4, I'm afraid cracks were starting to show that no amount of sharp dialogue and quick jokes (and there were some good ones) could compensate for. It did eventually pull through, and even did it with a "Die Hard"-style Christmas tie-in, but in the end it all felt too contrived, convoluted, and confusing to really work for me.
