Review
Jack Seale
One of 2025’s best dramas is back already for a second series, but two of its three central characters begin the new run in the doldrums. East London in the 1880s, one year on from where we left it, is a harsh environment for Jamaican immigrant Hezekiah Moscow (Malachi Kirby) and the former king of the bareknuckle boxing scene, Henry “Sugar” Goodson (Stephen Graham).
But as before, their existences are shaken up by Mary Carr (an unstoppable performance by the brilliant Erin Doherty), the leader of all-female pickpocket gang the Forty Elephants. Her new plan of action pitches them all back into that familiar Thousand Blows world of street menace, cruel hard luck and a sense that this is a time where, for the ambitious, anything is possible.
