The Knick comes back for its second season bigger and better than ever, featuring several captivating storylines, outstanding production values, and a terrific ensemble, all entwined in a compelling and fascinating medical drama.October 16, 2015
Gritty, gruesome and absolutely riveting in 1900s period detail that's strangely contemporary in its unflinching urgency.October 15, 2015
Much like David Milch did with Deadwood, Soderbergh proves that period television need not be mere history lesson. In so many ways, The Knick feels like one of the most vital, current shows on the air.October 16, 2015
It offers the kind of gripping trip to a time and place - New York in 1901 - that can be both stunningly beautiful and unnervingly ugly.October 16, 2015
It's easy to treat the past as a cozy prequel to the present; The Knick treats it as a ghost story. I don't know if that makes for more honest history, but it makes for amazing television.October 16, 2015
Rarely does one feel so distinctly immersed in an area known to no longer exist, yet is brought to life with such utter legitimacy. Credit goes to everyone in the production staff... it's all tied together by Soderbergh doing what [he] does best.October 16, 2015
The Knick isn't simply a lush costume drama, a gory medical history, or a lesson in social studies. It inspires true passion.October 16, 2015
Even if you haven't seen season one, the show has enough episodic elements to dive on in with the new premiere, and if you have, you're in for an even bigger treat.October 16, 2015
The initial hours of The Knick Season 2 are uncommonly strong.October 15, 2015
Assuming there are no serious future complications, The Knick is already well on its way to being one of the year's best TV shows.
