3/5
Energy overwhelms observation, which is fine unless you’re a stickler for historic detail. Go to Full Review 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 Feb 13
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

John N @RT63108825 3h just when i thought season 1 was the best show i ever watched, season 2 did even better See more Elina R @ElinaR 3d Please renew I can’t live without it See more SUSAN W. @kaiagirl22 Mar 22 Loved season 1 and season 2 is even better. Excellent cast with an entertaining story line great writing. Really hope there is a season 3!!! See more Ricardo R. @RickEnOfficial Mar 19 One of the best shows Disney has done See more Alex C @AJC8907 Mar 18 As fantastic as season 1 was, season 2 might be even better. Such an interesting story and characters with top acting and directing. There isn't a subpar performer in the cast but Maia Mitchell and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are exceptional as the leads, and of course David Thewlis brings Fagin to life in a way very few people could. The show manages to make the familiar Dickensian tropes feel fresh and original. There's even (what feels to me like) a wonderful nod to Bridgerton earlier in the season. It was done fantastically and subtly. The lavish and colorful costumes deserve high praise. It would be an absolute crime against quality television if this didn't get renewed for a 3rd season!
