THE KNICK

ABOUT

Set in downtown New York in 1900, The Knick is a drama series from Academy Award- and Emmy-winning director Steven Soderbergh. It is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses, and staff who work there, pushing the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.

Academy Award- and Emmy-nominee Clive Owen stars as Dr. John Thackery, a brilliant surgeon pioneering new methods in the field, despite his secret addiction to cocaine. He 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 recently been thrust upon Dr. Thackery.
