    The Knick: Season 1

    • The cast is stellar
    • The foundation for all of this is Steven Soderbergh’s brilliant direction, which draws excellent performances from a uniformly top-notch cast: all of human life is here; the sordid, the glorious, the ‘sacred and the profane’.All in all, it’s informative, exciting and educative and makes for exhilarating entertainment.
    • Despite this it does offer a very entertaining cast of characters that it continually develops at a very entertaining point in time for medicine.
    • The fine cast includes Michael Angarano, Juliet Rylance, Eric Johnson, Cara Seymour, David Fierro and other fine actors
    • An excellent lead performance and production values are marred by a very weak narrative and even weaker supporting cast
    • Unlike Halsted, he appears to have come from a lower class background and advanced in medicine through the apprenticeship program that still existed at the time rather than attending medical school, although we never fully learn his background.“The Knick” features an outstanding supporting cast, almost all British and Irish actors.
    • n’t think I could like this show anymore than I already do, it’s completely engrossing and a must-watch.
