This is How Movies Should Be Made

It is a performances centric movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I mean wow!!! Shows just don't get better than this!! So of course they had to cancel the show! Always the logical thing to do when you've got the best show around!!! I can't say enough great things about this show! I was hooked from the first second! I even contemplated missing work just so I could binge watch!!! It's that good.... Shame on the network Cinemax and HBO for not continuing.. You made us all think we were getting more seasons!! lost my subscription for this reason!! I was so sad to hear.

The Knick is an excellent series that sadly ends to fast. If it was up to me they could have made much more seasons because the subject is a bottomless pit. The show is about discovering new techniques of surgery and medicine at the turn of the 20th century. I'm glad I could just watch it on television then living it for myself because let's be honest there are some pretty scary procedures in The Knick. It doesn't look very sterile at all. And having a surgery in an auditorium while a bunch of people are looking at you isn't my idea of a safe environment for a surgery. But the show itself is fabulous with great acting performances and with an excellent story. All actors and actresses were great in The Knick. I really wished there would be more then two seasons because The Knick is so much better then most of the other shows that seems to keep going on forever. Certainly one of my favorite shows of this year.

The Knick is a TV drama set in the turn of the 20th century in NYC, and focuses on the lives of the doctors, administration and staff of the Knickerbocker Hospital, notably the brilliant resident physician Dr John Thackery (Clive Owen). Having finished the second season (the whole series to date), I can honestly say this series is a must watch. Firstly, the show's attention to detail and historical accuracy deserve a chapeau, be it the costumes, the attitudes, sets, as well as the social and medical issues prevalent at the time. The show also managed, much like other excellent dramas this past decade (Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire) to weave actual historic events into the show. The show's strongest point is its' character study. Every single actress/actor on the show is flawless in their portrayal of their respective characters. Throughout the two seasons, each of these characters' personal and professional growths is detailed, as well as their inner turmoil, doubts, opinions. The brilliant thing about the show is that each character (mediocre or not) has a quality about them, so you get to love some characters and hate others. The acting and character development is THAT good. I have to add my favourite characters on the show are definitely Sister Harriet (Cara Seymour) and Tom Cleary (Chris Sullivan), whose character development from episode one really shows that one shouldn't take things at face value. This principle applies to other characters too, but I won't get into detail. That's up to you to find out !

You know what? You can skip "The Knick" and just shout out load: " white men are evil" It would do the same, why? Because it's all about this: white men are worst creature on the earth, and black guys are the most high morality human being since ever been. Every second of it is full of discrimination of white people toward black people, like the only thing that white men have ever done in the history is discriminating black people and nothing else, and ind the other side black people always have suffered from this discrimination and didn't do anything wrong EVER, I mean EVER! Like "America's X history" the two side of the game: the black guy is the absolute image of morality and sensibility and white guy is awful! But who cares? Nobody believes in something like racism toward white people, because these are white people who always abuse everyone and it's IMPOSSIBLE that a black guy would be NOT angel. I think there's no point to saying these things because nobody cares about this REVERES racism, but since I've seen this, I couldn't stop myself to not think about how it's unfair and how it's horribly far from any reasonable judgment.
