There's no doubt the show deserves - demands, in fact - attention. The characters are as instantly compelling in the way that sprawling HBO dramas manage, the performances are very, very good, and the story hurtles along wonderfully. .... A Thousand Blows is about as good a 6-episode run as I've seen in some time.

Although much of the show feels predictable, radiant performances — especially from Kirby, Graham and Doherty — lend it a sense of freshness and verve. There’s a fieriness to everything, and at just six episodes, also a breathlessness.

Mid-series on, the plotting starts to churn and flag (it turns out that another six-part instalment is imminent). When it comes into focus, A Thousand Blows is a full-blooded show, crackling with incident and fine performances.
