Amazing series so far, definitely the best show I'm watching that's currently on air.

As dgonsh references above, The Knick's strength lies in the director's accomplishments. Most episodes (besides the race riot one) don't have much action or excitement going on but Soderbergh & the score make the stakes seem so high. This show has hooked me by its execution rather than intricate or grandiose storylines that many other series rely on.

Also enjoying the discussion and excellent analysis going on in this thread. Thanks for putting me on to this show. I'm excited for the the rest of the season but anxious that I'll no longer be able to binge-watch.
