Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 01/19/2024
There’s a sweet and quite sad aspect to the relationship between Dawkins and Fagin... Also, not that this is quite the point, it will leave you feeling pretty damn glad that they eventually invented anaesthetic. Go to Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times 01/19/2024
3/5
Inconsistent but broadly enjoyable, the eight-part Hulu series is a hybrid of crime caper and period hospital drama that takes some famous intellectual property and inserts it into a story that could have easily worked without it. Go to Full Review James Jackson The Times (UK) 01/18/2024
4/5
Brodie-Sangster and Thewlis are a fine double act, and it’s all so breezy you barely pause to consider how unlikely the whole romp is. An artful dodge indeed. Go to Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 02/05/2024
An Oliver Twist prequel might sound anything but tempting, but this series, which transports Dickens’s cheeky chappie to 1850s Australia where he’s become an entertainer, has winning performances... Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 01/26/2024
The casting is as masterful as the writing is imaginative. Go to Full Review Hannah Jane Parkinson Observer (UK) 01/21/2024
3/5
The entire cast are having an obvious blast, and snappy editing, the contemporary score and hyperactive directing by Jeffrey Walker help it zip along. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
