A new British show is being praised by fans as the best ever, with some comparing it to the popular series 'Peaky Blinders'.

Attention all Peaky Blinders fans! It's been two years since the show ended, leaving a void in our hearts. But fear not, because a new show has arrived to fill that void - A Thousand Blows. This exciting series stars the talented Stephen Graham, known for his roles in British classics such as This is England and Snatch, alongside Erin Doherty from The Crown and Jemma Carlton from Lockerbie: A Search for Truth.

A Thousand Blows recently premiered on Disney Plus, and fans are already raving about it. Some are even calling it one of the best shows they've seen in recent years. The story follows Graham as he takes on the role of Henry 'Sugar' Goodson, a veteran boxer living in Victorian London in the 1880s. Along the way, he meets Hezekiah and Alec, two best friends from Jamaica fighting to survive in the East End. But that's not all - the show is actually based on the true story of The Forty Elephants, an infamous all-female crime syndicate that operated in the Elephant and Castle area during the 1870s.

Graham's physical transformation for the role has not gone unnoticed, with fans praising his dedication to the character. And he's not the only one receiving praise - Doherty's performance as Sugar's love interest has also been applauded. With the show's creator being none other than Steven Knight, the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders, it's no surprise that comparisons are being made between the two shows.

But A Thousand Blows stands on its own, as Knight has made it clear that it is a standalone creation. In fact, the show has received high ratings from both critics and viewers, with many appreciating the beautiful production design and sharp performances from the cast. And it's not just X users who are showering the show with compliments - review platform Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 93% rating and an average of 8.4 out of 10.

Knight's inspiration for the show actually came during his time working on Peaky Blinders. He started developing the concept in 2022 and filming began in 2023 in London. And the good news for fans is that the show has already been renewed for a second season, so there's plenty more of the thrilling story to come.

While there are some similarities between A Thousand Blows and Peaky Blinders - both being working class period dramas - Knight emphasizes that each show stands alone and has its own unique elements. He is open to hearing others' views on the show and acknowledges that he can't judge his own work objectively.

So, if you're looking for your next binge-worthy show, look no further than A Thousand Blows. With its gripping story, talented cast, and high praise, it's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Don't just take our word for it, check it out now on Disney Plus. And who knows, maybe you'll find yourself joining the ranks of devoted fans praising its magnificence.
