A look at the professional and personal lives of the staff at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital during the early part of the twentieth century, where they try to maintain their reputation for quality care while struggling to keep the doors open.
It should have been obvious from the start, but Tom Clearly, the surly ambulance driver played by Chris Sullivan, might wind up being The Knick's most memorable character.
Hate to say it, Cleary, but you'll need to move at an even slower pace if you want this to work. That curtain's going to be pulled even tighter tonight.
There was an enormous amount of incident in the episode, and Steven Soderbergh kept things moving at breakneck pace, squeezing (by my count) 32 separate scenes into about 50 minutes.
I remain in constant appreciation and occasional awe about how sneakily... the writers on The Knick have presented us with an array of female characters that are often even richer and more complex than their male counterparts on the show.
"Not Well at All" more than matches the position staked by the first season's eighth episode: a headlong plunge into bleakness that abridges and re-contextualizes earlier breakthrough moments.
