So after weeks of simmering tension, The Knick finally came to blows this Friday night. Unfortunately it was Doctor Gallinger who gave Doctor Edwards a black eye, and not the other way around, but hey, we can't have everything.

It's the most breathtaking cross-section of Amiel and Begler's often club-footed historical observations yet, and the show's finest episode thus far: proof that, however irritating the procedure, Soderbergh's experiment is still working.

A-

So episodes like "Where's The Dignity" largely ride on what's happening and how, not that there's anything wrong with that. In fact, What's Happening is wild.

While it stumbles around in a few places and makes some regrettable choices in dialogue, 'Where's the Dignity?' is at least commendable for working so hard to define the narrative's core relationships as well as the characters in them.

The more they veer away from the hospital itself, the less interesting The Knick becomes.

The Knick is finally beginning to take shape outside of its style and score... The characters are starting to shine through more.
