The Knick isn't merely good -- but clinically, historically (even sociologically) interesting.
Overall, The Knick is a sublimely addictive ride for which viewers will want to scrub up.
The Knick is an astonishing new medical drama that has the potential to be one of the year's best and most talked-about shows.
Getting into The Knick ...will take two or three episodes. But once you check into this particular TV hospital, and stick around for a while, you'll care about the characters, their stories and their amazing new inventions.
Though the series boasts fine acting, a fluent script and a star director, it's not much more involving than the average broadcast hospital drama. It's watchable but not must-watchable.
It is, as an aesthetic object, outstanding; as a medical drama, satisfying; and, as a piece of art, totally disappointing.
