The Knick Season 1
Set in downtown New York in 1900, The Knick is a new Cinemax drama series from Steven Soderbergh. It is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff who work there, pushing the boundaries of medicine and morality in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.
Academy Award and Emmy nominee Clive Owen stars as Doctor John Thackery, a brilliant surgeon and whose ambition for medical discovery is tempered only by his secret addiction to opiates and cocaine. Thackery is the newly appointed leader of the surgery staff and leads a team of doctors including his protégé Dr. Everett Gallinger; the young Dr. Bertie Chickering Jr. and Dr. Algernon Edwards, a promising surgeon who's been recently thrust upon him.
The Knick stars Clive Owen (whose performance earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television series – drama). Steven Soderbergh directed all ten episodes of the first season.
