Liam Gallagher appears to have given a new Netflix spy drama his seal of approval.

When a fan took to X to ask the Oasis frontman if he's watched anything "decent" on the telly that he could recommend, the Rock 'N' Roll Star singer replied: "Black doves".

The six-episode spy thriller, which is set in London at Christmas, has been capturing audiences since it was gifted by the streaming giant on 5th December and sees Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw team up as an unlikely spy/assassin duo.

The festive mystery has all the guns, fights and witty repartee you'd might expect from a slick British spy drama, plus it includes the addition of much-loved, award-winning actress and star of Happy Valley, Sarah Lancashire.

A Netflix synopsis on the Alex Gabassi (The Crown) and Lisa Gunning (The Power)-directed show explains: "Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, Black Doves is a sharp, action-filled, and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down-to-earth, dedicated wife and mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe."
