‘The Artful Dodger’ Season 2 Review: Over 2 Years Later, Hulu's Historical Romance Feels Like a Completely New Show
In 2023, Hulu quietly released The Artful Dodger over the holiday season. The series presented itself as an inventive twist on Charles Dickens’ Victorian masterpiece, Oliver Twist. But rather than focusing on Dickens’ titular orphan, the series took the eponymous “Dodger” — known here as Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) — and set him on a new path in life, one that saw him join the Royal Navy and eventually make a life for himself as a surgeon in the British Colony of Australia. Of course, Fagin (David Thewlis) wasn’t far behind him, putting a strain upon Jack’s new life. While the series sold itself as a sort of historical heist-meets-medical drama, The Artful Dodger’s greatest selling point was the romance between Jack and Lady Belle Fox (Maia Mitchell), the Governor’s daughter-turned-budding medical professional. After all, everyone loves a pair of star-crossed lovers, especially when the odds are stacked against them. With Bridgerton satisfying everyone's Regency romance dreams on Netflix, Hulu is here to satisfy bluestocking romance fans with The Artful Dodger.
