One Of The Best New TV Shows In Years!Wow, The Knick is just on another level, and It's by far one of the best new TV shows in years! Each episode feels exciting, special and leaves you wanting more every time. The Knick is the story of Doctor John Thackery, a surgeon in the early 1900s who is a pioneer in his field with a little bit of a cocaine problem. The Knick is truly special, and will not disappoint.
The KnickTerrific, tense, and totally groundbreaking, showcasing some of the bloodiest operation scenes I’ve ever seen and probably ever filmed, The Knick is one of the best shows on television or any medium for that matter, period. Series creators Jack Amiel and Michael Begler deserve a round of applause. These two do most of the writing for the show leading to episodes that are fantastically entertaining and hypnotic in a way that you can’t take your eyes off the screen.

I’ve seen seven of the ten episodes so far, and the show has just peaked in it seventh...
Please watch The Knick!The Knick has become one of my favorite television series, and Season 2 will be must-watch TV for me. Set in the Knickerbocker Hospital of in New York City in the early 1900's, The Knick explores several social and public health issues by examining the interactions in this central location. Dr. John Thackery, played by Clive Owen, battles drug addiction and ego as he strives to become one of the most renowned surgeons of his time. Dr. Algernon Edwards, a black physician portrayed by Andre Holland, also strives for success in medicine but constantly battles prejudice and oppression as a black man in America. Several other interesting characters struggle through everyday life at the Knick.
While the individual characters are very interesting, what I found to be fascinating was the The Knick's portrayal of medical practices at the turn of the 20th Century. Doctors perform surgeries on patients without gloves. Liquid cocaine, along with ether, are chosen as analgesics for...
