Lead director season 2, Ep 201-203
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight presents an exhilarating new series set in the underbelly of 1880s Victorian London and featuring a towering performance by Stephen Graham.
Season 1: The thrilling series follows Hezekiah (Kirby) and Alec – played by Francis Lovehall – two best friends from Jamaica who find themselves thrust into the vibrant and violent melting pot of post-industrial revolution London’s East End. Drawn into the criminal underbelly of the thriving boxing scene, Hezekiah meets Mary Carr (Doherty), leader of The Forty Elephants – the notorious all-female London gang – as they battle for survival on the streets. As Hezekiah sharpens his new skills, he comes up against Sugar Goodson (Graham), a seasoned and dangerous boxer and the two are soon locked into an intense rivalry that spills out way beyond the ring.
Returning for a gripping second season 2, A Thousand Blows dives deeper into the ruthless underground of Victorian London. As power shifts and personal stakes rise, the line between loyalty and betrayal blurs – and only the strongest will endure.
