Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

farotech One of my favorite series. My only regret is that it is only a few short seasons.

wgingery I bailed out after just two episodes of Season One. I didn't like ANY of the characters; Soderbergh's dialogue is incredibly clumsy and undramatic; the acting is wooden; the staging is unnatural. . . . need I go on?Wait, one thing more: it's tainted with the smug sense of superiority to the past common to so many modern shows: why don't these stupid, bigoted people see things the "right way." Anachronism Alert: back then, no one addressed you by your first name, except family (and very close friends). The custom then was to use the last name - Smith, Jones, for example - preceded by a title, if justified, like Mr, Mrs, Miss, Dr, Professor, etc. Today this persists only in the armed forces. Excess "familiarity" was a serious breach of etiquette.On the meagre plus side, the settings and costumes are interesting. So beware when you take characters with contemporary attitudes and set them down in the past. Unless you have something new to say (which "The Knick," unfortunately, does not), you simply subject them, bare of support or context, to the critical gaze of the audience and expose how thin, tired, trite, clichéd and boring they are.

bandito wow, the contrasting soundtrack is barely discussed by reviews. It was unique and contrasting, been modern against a period series. Just red the Rolingstone mag article, they didn't brought how important the sounds and music was to make the show so atmospheric and successful .Thanks for those 2 seasons to all involved!

A Raquel Karolyi Machado This series is amazing!!! I got hooked up on the first episode and can't stop watching it. It is amazing to see how things were at that time (in 1900), how the hospital worked, what diseases existed and how they were treated... and the small details, the blood suction being made through a foot or hand pump, the ambulance that is a horse-drawn carriage, the poor surgical and medical material, the important discoveries and inventions those doctors made at that time and throughout the episodes... I am just amazed with this show! It is definitely one of the best series ever made. I highly recommend it to everyone that is interested not only in medicine but also in the evolution that science has made since those times!!
