A new tv series, "A Thousand Blows", has been reviewed by several outlets, with some praising its portrayal of Victorian London and others finding it lacking in subtlety. The show, created by Steven Knight, has received mixed reviews, with some critics finding it effective and others feeling it doesn't pack enough of a punch. The series appears to be a follow-up of sorts to Knight's previous work, "Peaky Blinders", and has garnered attention for its vibrant and messy depiction of Victorian London.
