The twists and turns that the story takes keep everyone on edge, delivering satisfying episodes each step of the way. Read full review

Let’s welcome Doctor Dodger. He worms his way into our hearts in this series, and he didn’t even have to sing or wear shades. Read full review

The Daily Beast Caroline Siede

And while the plotting is a little all over the place, the central characters are sharply written and the chemistry between the leads fantastic, particularly as a romance starts to blossom between Belle and Dodger. Whatever your preferred flavor of period piece TV, The Artful Dodger likely has something that will have you asking for more. Read full review

Only four episodes were made available for review, but when the rest appear I will watch, at the very least for Mr. Thewlis. And Ms. Mitchell. And Mr. Brodie-Sangster. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Hannah Jane Parkinson

Sep 10, 2024

The entire cast (including Tim Minchin as the wonderfully named villain Darius Cracksworth) are having an obvious blast, and snappy editing, the contemporary score and hyperactive directing by Jeffrey Walker help it zip along. Read full review

The script isn’t quite as sharp as, say, The Great or David Copperfield, but The Artful Dodger is still tremendously jolly and lots of fun. And completely disgusting. Read full review

Nov 27, 2023

In departing from most of the usual hallmarks of the Dickensian world—from its vividly atmospheric descriptions of London to its host of complex personalities—all The Artful Dodger offers is flimsy comedy, half-baked characterizations, and a dubious romantic subplot. Read full review
