A New Season of A Thousand Blows Arrives with High Praise

A new season of the crime drama A Thousand Blows is now available on Hulu and Disney+.

Created by Steven Knight, the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders, this gripping series follows a group of women criminals known as the Forty Elephants. Set in 1880s London, the show delves into their clashes with illegal boxing rings.

A Swift and Confident Return

The second season was filmed immediately after the first, a testament to the creators' belief in its success. This confidence was justified, as the show quickly gained a devoted following. Just eleven months after the first season's release, the second season is already here, and critics are singing its praises.

Critical Acclaim and Mixed Reviews

As of now, Season 2 holds a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the first season's 88%. However, some critics note that the season starts off slow and lacks the tension of the first. Despite this, the performances—particularly by Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham—have been widely praised.

The Future of A Thousand Blows

The show's future remains uncertain. Steven Knight is currently occupied with other projects, including a Peaky Blinders sequel, a new series called SAS: Rogue Heroes, and even writing the next James Bond movie. While the fate of A Thousand Blows is unclear, Season 2 provides a satisfying conclusion for now.
