Soderbergh's The Knick

[blessingx]

Anyone else excited?

"The Knick" stars Clive Owen as Dr. John Thackery, an ambitious surgeon who leads the staff at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York in the early 1900s.

Yes, I think I am.

I wasn't sure I was going to like it (not a fan of Clive Owen) but was disappointed when it ended.

Looking forward to the next episode.

The New Yorker review wasn't great...

Haven't read, but the ones I have that focused on the first couple episodes have been respectively disappointed. The often trustworthy David Bianculli says stick with it - http://www.npr.org/2014/08/07/338603595/stick-with-the-knick-a-medical-drama-with-amazing-inventions?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=theo

I enjoyed it.

Just finished. I'm caught. Certainly curious where it's headed, but what did everyone think of the soundtrack choices?

Second episode even better. Starting to really trust this.

This is progressing wonderfully.  I'm getting a strong "Young Doctor's Notebook" vibe from the cocaine addiction, though.

They're having fun with the ads.

#3 even better and the soundtrack now makes sense [i'm slow].

Caught the last three episodes from season 2 on on demand earlier.

Think will go watch the finale again.
