In new releases from PGGB Members and Partners this week, we're highlighting Joe Barton’s London-shot nail-biting spy drama Black Doves, starring Keira Knightley and Ben Wishaw, which premiered on Netflix this week.
Also in the world of espionage, Michael Fassbender-starring thriller The Agency is out now on Paramount+. The show, a fresh take on the critically acclaimed French drama Le Bureau des Legendes, features the work of six PGGB Members.
Continuing the theme – though in somewhat more remote landscapes – the final episode of the ninth season of Scottish crime drama Shetland is on BBC this week, while the previous five episodes are available to watch on BBCiPlayer now.
