“Iconic” gets overused, but is there really any other way to describe the defining image of season one of Black Doves ? As Helen Webb, a secret spy assassin living a double life as a politician’s wife (a so-called “black dove”), Keira Knightley stormed down a street firing a gun at some baddies while heavily pregnant. And it was amazing. Now, joy of joys, the Netflix thriller is back for a heavily anticipated second round, and it’s even more of a delicious binge watch than the first time.
