A Thousand Blows on Hulu, created by Steven Knight, is a historical and boxing drama inspired by true events. It features Hezekiah Moscow, a Jamaican immigrant in 1880s London, who initially aims to be a lion tamer but finds success in the boxing ring. His rise draws the attention of Mary Carr, leader of an all-female crime ring. The show portrays characters grappling with vengeance and societal injustices while blending gritty action with moments of criminal elegance, featuring both brutal fights and glamorous heists to navigate their turbulent lives.
Characters in Blows punch and get punched a lot, and viewers might feel that they too are on the receiving end of an absolute dagwood of a knuckle sandwich.
He catches the eye of Mary Carr, the leader of an all-female crime ring, who sees him as the last chess piece in her plan.
The show, based on a true story, follows Hezekiah Moscow and his best friend, Alec, who emigrate from Jamaica to London in the 1880s.
Not everyone likes Hezekiah's shine, though, especially Sugar Goodson, a bare-knuckle boxer and generally volatile dude.
