Critics Consensus

Despite a drastic tonal shift from last week's volatile events, "Working Late a Lot" further reinforces The Knick's equally skillful aptitude for quieter character moments and small-scale drama.

Well, after hitting a definitive climax last week, The Knick came through with an episode that is-both literally and figuratively-just one long hangover. Thematically appropriate? Absolutely. Fun to watch? Not so much.

The storyline is also noteworthy for the subtle, usually unspoken hints it drops about how developed Thackery's colleagues and subordinates' sense of his addiction really is.

"Working Late a Lot" was in some ways an even more impressive technical achievement than last week's riot, finding its spectacle through internal rather than external pressures.

It's a testament to the directorial prowess of Soderbergh, then, that he can switch gears from the hectic turmoil of last week's racially charged mob violence to something as intimate and single-minded as 'Working Late a Lot.'

That's the beauty of setting a show like this in the past; we can look at it through our modern eyes and marvel at how far we've come.

It will be interesting to see if Thackery's problems escalate from here or if the opium fix at the end was enough to regulate him back to brilliance.
