Cinemax's The Knick hooked fans early on with great performances and directing, but the final episodes are definitely the standouts among a season of near-perfect drama. The main reason is last week's conclusion, which featured Thackery and Lucy having sex, juxtaposed to Cornelia and Algernon doing the same. Romance has become a full-fledged factor in the show, but how long will this glee last? Let's take a look back at this week's episode, "Working Late A Lot," in our weekly recap.

If we've learned anything while watching the first season of The Knick, it's that this show is one of a kind. In this week's episode, entitled "They Capture the Heat," we see that reality is the hardest aspect to deal with as viewers and that the reality of 1900 New York City is terribly rough. A successful operation gives hope, but how long will it last? Definitely not an entire episode. Let's recap episode 5 of 2014's best drama right here. (SPOILERS to follow) Read More »

The second episode of Cinemax's The Knick continued to open up the world of a 1900 hospital that has some of the most interesting cast of characters you can get into one show. We learned more about the hospital's hardships, but more so we were treated to important character development outside of the main storyline of John Thackery's struggles. In episode 3, entitled "The Busy Flea," it looks like we'll get to see some interaction with pigs, more mafia woes for Barrow and Edwards' mounting anxiety could lead to his own demons.

Add in plenty of sexual intrigue, race issues and the fact that this is airing on Cinemax and you've got the next big cable hit. (SPOILERS to follow) Read More »
