A new season of the crime drama A Thousand Blows is now available on Hulu and Disney+. This show, created by Steven Knight, who also made Peaky Blinders, is about a group of women criminals called the Forty Elephants. They operate in 1880s London and clash with illegal boxing rings.
The second season of A Thousand Blows was filmed right after the first season, showing that the creators were confident it would be a hit. This confidence paid off, as the show quickly gained popularity. Now, just eleven months after the first season, the second season is already out, and critics are giving it positive reviews.
As of now, season 2 has a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is even better than the first season's 88%. However, some critics say the second season starts off slow and doesn't have as much tension as the first one. Despite this, the performances by the actors, especially Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham, are being praised.
It's still unclear if there will be a third season of A Thousand Blows. The show's creator, Steven Knight, is busy with other projects, including a Peaky Blinders sequel, a new series called SAS: Rogue Heroes, and even writing the next James Bond movie. So, while the future of A Thousand Blows is uncertain, the second season seems to provide a satisfying conclusion for now.
