The fictitious Knickerbocker Hospital, or simply called "The Knick", is the venue of this series, which at the beginning of the 20th CENTURY play. The beginnings of modern medicine, especially surgery, Stephen Soderbergh shows in impressive, sometimes very explicit images and with enormous attention to detail. Above all, the characters are all very well worked, staffed appropriately and played fantastic. The plot, which mainly revolves around personal Koflikten, drugs, violence and racism, is extremely exciting, emotionally charged and full of twists. It will be formally taken into the juggernaut of Knickerbocker Hospital and only released after the last episode. Overall, "The Knick" an unconventional doctor series, which is highly recommended! Five Stars!
In the original series sounds even better and more authentic, but is very often talked vaguely and used many technical terms. Subtitle missing.
