"Crutchfield" did a nice job of bringing the major stories of the season to a boil, mostly while linking them to the series' larger questions about scientific and social progress.October 07, 2015
Even before this final act, "Crutchfield" was the most exquisite episode of The Knick, but after it, "Crutchfield" is evangelism material. Every new shot is diamond.October 01, 2015
The Steven Soderbergh-directed series wraps up its first season not in a happy place, but instead with every character in jeopardy, which is pretty much exactly where a show with a season 2 order perhaps should end.October 07, 2015
This last installment of Season One started to feel like much too much. It was like a haunted house that wouldn't end, but instead of frights around every corner, it was the pitiable fates of all these characters playing out in front of you.October 02, 2015
It's hard to remember a season finale this bleak, in the sense that not one major character ends up in a better place than they started 10 episodes ago, and everyone across-the-board is miserable.October 07, 2015
The Knick's season finale, which held actual serious consequences for just about every character on the show, was a beautifully unnerving ride. No happy endings here.October 08, 2015
To say things go from bad to worse would be putting it mildly. And yet, there's no sense the series derives pleasure sending its characters to wallow in a new form of misery.October 07, 2015
In keeping with the rest of the season, it strains (sometimes painfully) to guarantee a good time while preserving its in-hindsight moral outrage.October 07, 2015
We're right back where we started, only somehow worse.October 01, 2015
Most seasons end with cliffhangers. The Season 1 finale of The Knick on Friday night was more like a slow-moving avalanche that left every major character buried - in grief, remorse, apprehension, fear, addiction.
