I don't know how I feel about this as an overall strategy for a television show-it made for some slow-moving episodes and generally odd pacing for most of the season-but it definitely made for an explosively satisfying hour.

"Get the Rope" grips undeniably, but it also goes down feeling like the most disingenuous episode yet. It's soapy, morally charged, and Grand Guignol all at once.

If there's a lot of forward momentum within individual episodes - this one in particular - the season as a whole has taken its sweet time moving stories forward.

In the end, the conclusion to 'Get the Rope' presents The Knick with so many new story possibilities that the ungainliness of how certain threads were handled is outweighed by the benefits they bring to the overall narrative.

I feel like his work on this series has only gotten stronger with each episode, to the point of giddy anticipation for the last three installments of this first season.

It was an ugly episode that was also extremely satisfying, if that makes sense.
