Val22 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 This is a new show that started last Friday on Cinemax.It stars Clive Barker as a surgeon in the 1900's New York City.The Knick is named after the Knickerbocker hospital in NYC.I like Clive Barker, I think he's a very good actor, so I checked this show out.The show is filmed so well, you get the feel of NYC in the turn of the century. How electric lights were just starting to be put into the hospital. How surgeries were done.The crazy ambulance drivers who fight to get a body. I liked the show. It's already been approved for a second season.I'm just glad I didn't live in the early 1900's. I don't know how people survived being in a hospital.

Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Never watched any of Cinemax's shows, but this one looked interesting. Might have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Banshee is also another awesome show on Cinemax.Basically that's why I subscribe to all the premium channels, they all seem to have great shows now even more than the movies.The Knick is made so well. I feel like I'm watching a news film of this time in history.Clive Owens is a great actor. Sorry I said the wrong name before. Clive Barker is the horror writer.

Crash Diet Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 This is gonna be a good show. The acid house music in this 1900 environments is so surreal, adds some extra value for this show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 I know the show just seems to capture the 1900's so well.Clive Owen is so good. Showing two sides to the man who is a brilliant surgeon and doctor yet addicted to cocaine.It's just so interesting.The actor who plays the black doctor is very good. Last night's episode showed he's not someone to screw with. I keep forgetting how that time was towards blacks and other immigrants. It's crazy to think how long it took for whites to accept other races. it's crazy. We all come from other places yet it seemed whatever immigrant came after, someone had a problem with them.It seems some things haven't changed. Sad.

CheapJon Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Started watching it tonight. Accidently watched the third episode first and the first episode after that. Too stoned to see the second episode now, it's so damn graphic. Cool "mood" and soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Just found out the young nurse on this show is Bono's daughter. She's working with some good actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Watched the first episode, it was great. The surgery scene in the beginning was so gruesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah, the surgery scenes are very realistic and since it's the early 1900's they must have lost a lot of people back then.I know my dad was born at home with a mid-wife and after seeing that C-section, I think he was safer being born at home.
