Review :
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.

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...
