The one to look forward to this year is CBS' The Dovekeepers, the latest in a growing series of stories that recast traditional tales from heterogeneous, even conflicting, points of view.
If Biblical-style fantasy is your bag, then its for you, but audiences who have feminist leanings will find the number of times the women are--as with too many Bible tales--called whores and prostitutes extremely grating.
We’ve spent so much time on mundane love affairs, the nature of the resistance remains an enigma. The Dovekeepers spins history until everyone seems a bit dizzy.
There’s a well-scrubbed tepidness to Shirah (Cote de Pablo), and to this whole mini-series, that Ziva never would have tolerated.
A missed opportunity to deliver a compelling modern interpretation of the famous mass suicide.
[The story comes] complete with stilted dialogue and focus more on their complicated, intertwined personal lives than on the legendary siege and its bloody aftermath.
The Dovekeepers is so bad it is virtually impossible to believe it exists in the current landscape of American television.
