Keira Knightley Is a spy that works for an independent spy agency under a program called Black Doves. She’s been married to a British politician (her assignment) that had worked his way up to their equivalent of Secretary of Defense, and they have 2 kids.
It’s a pretty good watch

They show gay butt sex like 15 minutes into the series, so that’s…..something.

Good show. Gay male sex scenes was not needed and added zero to the character development. It was like the studio said "hey one of the characters needs to be gay"

Boy I don't remember a thing about Season 1 except that she's married to a politician and she works for a private spy organization. I'll have to re-watch Season 1 before moving on to Season 2.

Oh, for sure. That was a definitely DEI inclusion just to check that box. And they probably took that check box a little far. They could've implied the gay sex without actually showing it if they absolutely had to check the box, but I guess they felt they needed to virtue signal a little harder than that.
But if you can compartmentalize the gay sex crap, it's actually a pretty decent watch.

Thanks for reminder about S2, we enjoyed S1.
Hopefully no scenes with Whishaw getting his back blown out up against the window again

Completely gratuitous and unnecessary but the show ended up being pretty good. Looking forward to some hot gratuitous hetero sex scenes this season.

It’s good a show, despite the gratuitous sex stuff. Don’t expect to be blown away or anything, but still enjoyable.

Hollywood always has to push its gay agenda. I turned the show off and haven't watched any of it since.

Keira Knightley is still fine as frog hair. Digging the show, too. Good mix of humor, action, and story.

They showed the gay sex scene because they want you to be gay and act like Ben Whishaw's character, a sad, damaged assassin?
And when they showed Knightley's sex scene, that is a competing agenda?

Season 2 was still pretty good
They doubled down on the gay sex with Sam while Helen has no sex life lol
They also teased that Sam might have some interest in Helen so maybe he’s bi

A very entertaining show and not quite like anything else…

Look, I hate woke BS and have a pretty good radar for it, but I accept that there are gay people in the world, and so having a gay character doesn't mean an agenda is being pushed. At no point are straight people being homophobic and made to look evil, being gay is far from Sam's defining characteristic, and the relationship is believable. I don't enjoy seeing 2 men going at it, but nothing like that scene has appeared in the 5 episodes I have watched since. Helen's husband is a conservative politician, and they portray him as a good, decent man. Which shocked me.
