    A prime example of television gold. Clive Owen is fantastic as is the rest of the cast showcased. The world and it's struggles are displayed with realism and dread, just as the time period entitles. A brilliant and underrated spectacle.

    Stellar and unique program. Clive Owen fits perfectly into his role and so do the other characters. In my opinion and realistic view of the wonderful yet brutal discovery of new medical diagnosis and treatments in the time period. Pretty emotional show that helps you live through the mental states these doctors had to go through to attempt reaching the next level of medical knowledge.

    Best show currently on television. a sweet minimalist techno background music mixes really well with the best photography/acting/writing mix since Breaking Bad. Every element heightens the rest to make something orchestral.

    Unique show! The camera shots are so gorgeous and flowing. The hardest part are the surgery moments for me, but it says a lot that they feel so real that they make me squimish. Clive Owen is remarkable and I adore the character Algernon. I am surprised I enjoy this show as much as I do because I am not usually one for medical shows. This one is extraordinary.

    I can't really explain how awesome, cool and perfect this show is. Steven Soderbergh has made an amazing work, Clive Owen shows his talent and the result is the best series ever.

    Great show! This is a show you wait a long time to appear and then hope it stays on for a very long time. I'm not sure what they've done with the Clive Owen character, I'd be disappointed if he is truly gone off the show. Great overall cast, great writing, great filming. I hope it gets nominated for something!

    In season two, it's altogether richer, more daring, and even more fun.

    Assuming there are no serious future complications, The Knick is already well on its way to being one of the year’s best TV shows.
