"The Artful Dodger: A Zippy and Breezy Twist on Dickens' Classic"

"The Artful Dodger," a new Australian series produced for Hulu, offers a lightly adventurous medical rom-com take on the character from Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist." Set in the colony of Port Victory, 15 years after the events of the novel, the series follows Jack Dawkins, now a decorated veteran and trained surgeon, as he navigates gambling debt, blackmail, and the arrival of his former mentor, Fagin. While the show lacks depth and fails to fully explore the literary pedigree, it offers playful entertainment with the help of its talented cast, including Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Maia Mitchell, and David Thewlis.
