Hulu's new series 'A Thousand Blows' introduces a group of characters in London's East End, each grappling with personal darkness stemming from past traumas. The story primarily follows Hezekiah Moscow, who moves to London for a zookeeper job but soon discovers an exploitative reality. He and his friends intersect with Mary and Sugar, leading to a rivalry born from a surprise turn in a boxing match. The show, created by Steven Knight, emphasizes character depth and interconnections in a harsh world, hinting at hope through shared adversity.
These characters, despite the slight differences between them, all harbour a darkness within them, ranging from childhood traumas to the murder of loved ones.
Hezekiah soon learns that the zookeeper had no intention of giving him a solid job, instead wanting him to be the spectacle in a cage.
