Season
1 was rated AA+. Season's 2 episodes are just as good . . . if not
better. Just look at this rating from Rotten Tomatoes:
Critics Consensus 97%: The Knick
delivers an addictive second season with stunning visuals, knockout
performances, and disturbing moments adding up to a period drama that's
anything but dated.
This do-not-miss TV series originallly showed on Cinemax. It's now available from Netflix on DVD's
An
EXTREMELY good medical drama set in a downtown New York City Hospital
the early 1900's . . . where they try to maintain their reputation for
quality care while planning a new and better facility "uptown" by getting
donations from the rich of the Gilded Age. Primitive (1900) medicine and
surgery in very realist terms. It also does a better than great job in developing
the personalities of the staff and the patients.
Edited from Wikipedia:
After the conclusion of the second season on December 18, 2015, it was announced that Cinemax had ordered a script for the season three premiere and a season outline, with negotiations for a third season. In a December 2015 interview with director Steven Soderbergh, he confirmed that Dr. Thackery dies in the season two finale, and that it was all planned from the beginning, and Clive Owen only had a two-year contract for the series. Soderbergh also said,
"I told them [Cinemax] that I'm going to do the first two years and then we are going to break out the story for seasons 3 and 4 and try to find a filmmaker or filmmakers to do this the way that I did. This is how we want to do this so that every two years, whoever comes on, has the freedom to create their universe. However, Soderberg decided, depending upon what those futures seasons were, he would like to direct those two future seasons by March 2016."
