'Black Doves' Season 2 Is Bigger and Better in Every Way | Review

When Black Doves first premiered, it felt almost like an afterthought for Netflix — a small, intimate spy thriller in both scope and tone, easily overlooked among the growing number of equally bingeable options. Yet the show's initial episodes, written by series creator Joe Barton (The Lazarus Project), hinted at greater potential, and not just because they came with the assurance of an already confirmed renewal. Black Doves' first season resolved its central mystery against a bittersweet holiday backdrop, unquestionably leaving the door open for a continuation in the process. Over the six episodes provided for review, Season 2 officially kicks that door down with an action-packed, twist-filled thrill ride that terrifically expands the show's world while making the stakes increasingly personal for Keira Knightley's Helen Webb.
