This week’s series selection includes the return of “Black Doves” and “The Gilded Age,” each with a new season that, according to the review, improves on its predecessor. The list also names “Singapura” and “ONG.”
In the second season of “Black Doves,” Helen, played by Keira Knightley, is unhappy in her marriage to Wallace, portrayed by Andrew Buchan, who becomes prime minister after serving as defence secretary. Sam, played by Ben Whishaw, is dealing with depression and becomes vulnerable to blackmail by a new criminal group.
The season continues storylines established in the first run and centres in part on the East German past of Elizabeth Reed, Helen’s boss. The review praises its fast pace and its blend of comedy, emotion and violence, while advising viewers to refresh their memory of the earlier story before watching.
“The Gilded Age” is also included in the week’s selection, with its fourth season described in the accompanying summary as an entertaining historical drama featuring a now-familiar cast.
