A THOUSAND BLOWS
FIRST LOOK AT NEW PERIOD SET SERIES
First look today at another new period set series coming up in the future, this time Disney Plus six episode series A THOUSAND BLOWS which arrives
next year with the second season already shot! The series follows Malachi Kirby's Hezekiah Moscow, who finds himself plunged into the vibrant and violent melting pot of post-industrial revolution London's East End from Jamaica. Drawn into the criminal underbelly of the thriving boxing scene, he meets Mary Carr, (Erin 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 (Stephen Graham), a seasoned and dangerous boxer, and the two are soon locked into an intense rivalry that spills out way beyond the ring.
Steven Knight's drama also stars Francis Lovehall as Hezekiah's best friend Alec Munroe, Jason Tobin as Mr Lao and James Nelson-Joyce as
Edward 'Treacle' Goodson. Daniel Mays stars as William 'Punch' Lewis, Adam Nagaitis as the Earl of Lonsdale, Gary Lewis as Jack Mac, Tom Davis as Charlie Mitchell and Robert Glenister as Indigo Jeremy.

I want to want to look forward to this, but here we go again with another Disney project that will probably suck. I still have my subscription though, so might give it a peek anyway.
ReplyDeleteDisney is so terrible, even Shardlake was bad although I would still watch a second season if they shoot it.
