Shows like The Artful Dodger

These dramas explore the intersection of lawlessness and high-stakes survival. They rely on the sensibilities of period pieces, gritty criminal underworlds, and the audacity required to navigate high-risk lives as a surgeon or a thief.

The collection prioritizes sharp dialogue and moral ambiguity set against gritty, atmospheric backdrops. Those who enjoyed the life of an 1850s Australian criminal might find similar thrills in the historical tensions of Great Expectations or the elaborate maneuvers found in The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin.
