Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

kfmilne Every character is drawn from a standard prescription. Corny accents and speaking styles, tired storyline, has to use the gore of surgery for cheap thrills. Your 13 year old might be sucked in, but adults will be bored. Not worth a second of your time.

The Couchpotatoes The Knick is an excellent series that sadly ends to fast. If it was up to me they could have made much more seasons because the subject is a bottomless pit. The show is about discovering new techniques of surgery and medicine at the turn of the 20th century. I'm glad I could just watch it on television then living it for myself because let's be honest there are some pretty scary procedures in The Knick. It doesn't look very sterile at all. And having a surgery in an auditorium while a bunch of people are looking at you isn't my idea of a safe environment for a surgery. But the show itself is fabulous with great acting performances and with an excellent story. All actors and actresses were great in The Knick. I really wished there would be more then two seasons because The Knick is so much better then most of the other shows that seems to keep going on forever. Certainly one of my favorite shows of this year.

Syl I'm surprised that this Cinemax series wasn't more successful. It has everything going for it like solid writing, acting, and high quality production. Set in 1900 New York City, the Knick is short for the Knickerbocker hospital. Just like other businesses, hospitals have to make a profit and survive. The Knick is a 1900 version of St. Elsewhere about a struggling hospital. The first season has ten episodes starring Clive Owen as Dr. Thackeray, a renowned surgeon and secret drug addict. Andre Holland plays Dr. Algernon Edwards, an African American surgeon trained at Harvard and worked in Europe before coming to the Knick. Juliet Rylance plays Cornelia Robertson, the hospital administrator and daughter of its owner. Cara Seymour plays a nun with quite a secret that you won't see coming with complexity and devotion. The rest of the cast is stellar but I can't name them all here. Eve Hewson is perfect as the West Virginia transplanted nurse who knows and protects Thackeray. This series is almost flawless and perfect but I can't understand why I didn't see or know about it before. This series deserved some respect and accolades like other series.

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.
