Reviews

SnoopyStyle It's turn-of-the-century New York at the Knickerbocker Hospital. Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) is the aggressive chief surgeon and a drug addict. Dr. Algernon Edwards is a black surgeon struggling against racism in this exclusive field. Herman Barrow is the manager struggling with the finance. Lucy Elkins is the supportive young nurse. Cornelia Robertson is one of the directors from a wealthy family. Dr. Bertie Chickering is a young surgeon at the hospital.This is an unique vision from Steven Soderbergh. There are some out-there surgical scenes. The characters are compelling led by the terrific Clive Owen. I also like Eve Hewson. It does falter from covering too many characters and their side stories. Nevertheless, this is unique television. Somewhere along the negotiations, Soderbergh is unable to come up with an agreement. The show definitely deserves to continue despite the specific ending to the second season finale.
truthreview Season 1 is great. But for season 2 Lucy went from being sweet, cute, intelligent and an integral part of me enjoying the show to boring, and pretentiousness and the main reason I couldn't stand watching anymore. They tried to make her character too badass and overpowering and it just doesn't work. Shes too bland and too serious. In fact, her character reflects the entire feel of season 2. Bland, redundant, boring, depressive, and too serious. I also think Andre Holland was bad casting for Dr. Edwards. The show also has a hint of "reverse" racism disguised as "regular" racism as well. Although, this has been a typical recurring theme in a lot of media since a certain major political event has occurred in this country. There really isn't much more to say. Season 1 is a solid 8 and a good binge watch. Could have/should have been made a movie. Season 2 is a flop.
Brave-Traveler.asf (Brave_TraveIor) Every single episode is directed by the legendary Soderbergh so with each frame you can feel the drama or tension shining through. It seems like it's all natural lighting in most scenes which makes it beautiful and authentic. And the real gem..Clive Owen. He was born to play Thackeray. The knick is an incredible series with too real medical scenes that I warn you can be hard for the weak stomachs. The second season has been just as good as the first. This is a must watch with an excellent cast and acting. The procedures are phenomenal and awe inspiring. Do your self a favor and watch this incredible show
grantss (Updated after Season 2).Good, original hospital drama.Set in the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York from 1900 onwards, a series about the lives of several of the doctors, nurses and staff.Very original. Hospital/medical dramas are hardly a new or rare thing (though this hasn't prevented there being some brilliant ones - Scrubs springs most immediately to mind). The Knick is quite different though. Being set in 1900 you don't have the luxury of modern medicine and you often get to see now standard procedures being developed in front of your eyes. Also shows how far medicine has come in the last 115 years.Also easily the most graphic medical drama you'll ever see. You see the surgeries being done. I didn't think I was squeamish until I watched this. Does give the series a very realistic, gritty, unglamorous feel.Its not just about the medicine. The series also tackles issues such as racism and inequality, abortion and drug addiction (cocaine and heroin were legal at the time...). Has the usual relationship and romantic stuff too, though these generally weaken the series. While everything else seems to capture the spirit and feel of 1900 quite well, the writers and director quite keenly project 21st century morals and relationship conventions onto their 1900 characters - it just seems out of place.In addition, Season 2 was less compelling watching than Season 1. The novelty may have worn off for me, I fear.
