HBO Defined has always thrilled its audience with
the best industry shows and gripping entertainment. Keeping up with the
tradition of quality cinema, the channel is back with its most popular original
series, The Knick, a telling tale of what happens in Knickerbocker hospital,
when medicine and medical practices both were evolving amid the intense
socio-political changes. The much awaited Season 2 of the television series
airs 100% ad-free this October 17, 9:00 PM only on HBO Defined.
The Knick tv series on
Cinemax created by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, directed by Steven
Soderbergh. Clive Owen, the main
lead, plays the anti-hero as Dr. John W. Thackery, the star surgeon of The
Knickerbocker hospital, who is intoxicated by his success and drug addiction.
Supporting Owen is Andre Holland as
Dr. Algernon Edwards, the new ‘Afro-American’ assistant chief surgeon. He
manages an after-hours clinic in the basement for those turned away from the
hospital. He is a victim of racism at the Knickerbocker. Jeremy Bobb plays the
role of Herman Barrow, the manager of the Knick. He has mismanaged the hospital
funds and is now in debt to a ruthless mobster. Juliet Rylance will be seen as
Cornelia Robertson, she is the head of the Knick’s social welfare office. She
serves as his representative on the board of directors. Many more interesting
characters contribute to the storyline of this intriguing medical drama.
The story resumes from where Season One concluded.
This time, the Knickerbocker hospital opens up in the year 1901. The Knick
captures the 20th century medical and social scenario and transforms it into a
modern storytelling. The new season will also ponder over the absurd processes
of the great minds, which eventually reduce to mere bodies; socially,
politically and professionally. The series has some powerful performances
coming from the Oscar-nominated actor. Thackery will be shown portraying the
dilemma of medicinal study over the ethical treatment of humans as the object
of experimentation. Also, the struggle of a genius against his own addictions.
The Knick has been appreciated for the
blunt-and-cold yet real form of storytelling. The surgery scenes and treatment
of gruesome aspects have been done brilliantly. Clive Owen has nailed his
character and entices the audience with his looks and performance. The
supporting cast has an equal share in the success of the show. The series has
raised questions of ethics in medical practices, the endurance of finance in
quality medical care and so on.
The Knick Season 1 made a special place in the
heart of critics and the audience. Season 2 is all set to deliver and amplify the
same. Do not miss watching The Knick
Season 2 this Saturday, October 17, 9:00 PM only on HBO Defined. 100%
ad-free.
