Right now you can watch The Artful Dodger in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 236 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Thomas Brodie-Sangster's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

The Artful Dodger arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The plotting gives The Artful Dodger its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. It's a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist. Jack Dawkins is The Artful Dodger, whose pickpocketing fingers have become the skilled hands of a surgeon. He is torn between an impossible love and the criminal underworld he secretly craves. Thomas Brodie-Sangster and David Thewlis lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. Across 2 seasons (2023–2026), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The plot mechanics of The Artful Dodger never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, The Artful Dodger delivers. Viewers who responded to Peaky Blinders will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Watch Thomas Brodie-Sangster work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

The Artful Dodger is currently airing new episodes, created by David Maher, David Taylor and James McNamara — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
