Sarah Dempster Guardian Feb 10
3/5
Huzzah for the pace and the balls. But boohoo for those who, having hoped for more than merely a louder re-tread of the first series, may now find themselves, as Fagin grumbles at one point, “a bit bleedin’ put out”. Go to Full Review Revati Gelda Tell-Tale TV 6d
3.5/5
Season 2 confirms the show is at its best when the focus is on Jack Dawkins and Lady Belle Fox’s feverish romance. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Feb 11
While we still think The Artful Dodger is still a fun watch, we’re wary about the second season making jumping through story hoops to make sure Jack and Belle stay apart. Go to Full Review Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media Feb 11
Season 2 is grittier, messier, and more thought-provoking, all while delivering the most deliciously intoxicating romance. Go to Full Review Shelby Elpers Fangirlish Feb 10
The Artful Dodger uses those familiar threads to explore different sides of the characters and Port Victory. Go to Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Feb 10

Diana C @DeeCoy 10h The chemistry amongst the cast is superb. Storylines are so fun and the romance is rewatch worthy. Great actors and a humourous script makes this a must see. See more Daddy M @daddymooch 13h The writing of this season is really bad. Cons are all failures with no consequences. Kid blows the salt Peter deal only to spy and save Fagen after screwing him. Goes on and on. They act like they make every medical discovery in history. It's become slop. See more Kyara S @Kyara 1d I absolutely loved it! I'm so glas they made a season two, and I NEED a season 3. Magnificent writing, Magnificent acting! See more Mus M 2d Loved it!! The story was so amazing and full of surprises, I really hope they makes third season❤️ See more Andrei D 3d The cast tries hard but the narrative happens because it needs to, not because anyone has personality traits or motivations See more H B @MTafuro 3d Absolute must watch. All the charm of the first season. Whit, humor, unexpected turns, and lots of heart. Less graphic with the medical stuff but just as interesting. I watched season 1 too many times to count and plan on the same for season 2. Do yourself a favor and check it out. See more Read all reviews
