The Knick - Série 2

The fantastic cinematography and the incredible Clive Owen still couldn’t sustain nine and a half hours of episodes without a coherent plot. Especially if the previous driver of the stalwart Dr. Thackery and clears the stage for the other one-dimensional to cartoonish characters with their unchanging motivations, played by amateur actors (Jeremy Bobb, Juliet Rylance, Eric Johnson). The unflinching finale does, ultimately, really get you out of the blue, but otherwise this whole overlong adventure can be summed up in lessons like don't be a racist, use a rubber, don't do drugs, and don't trust charlatans.
