THE KNICK: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Season One of the Peabody Award-Winning Cinemax® Series
Available Now on Blu-ray™ and DVD
As seen on Sky Atlantic, The Knick, from executive producer Steven Soderbergh (who directed all ten episodes), brilliant surgeon John Thackery (Clive Owen in a Golden Globe-nominated performance) pushes the boundaries of medicine, morality and race relations at a New York City hospital at the turn of the 20th Century, known as The Knick.
The “must watch” (Entertainment Weekly) and “beautifully crafted” (Los Angeles Times) series broke Cinemax viewing records, becoming the most watched first season of any Cinemax Original Series.
In The Knick, while Dr. Thackery searches to solve a plethora of medical mysteries and develops an unhealthy addiction to cocaine, which was legal at the time, the fate of The Knickerbocker Hospital hangs in the balance. Thanks to the influence of rich patrons like Cornelia Robertson (Juliet Rylance) Thackery is paired against his will with a young black doctor, Algernon Edwards (André Holland), whose intelligence and at-all-costs methods rivals Thackery’s, and who is hired over Thackery’s protégé, Dr. Everett Gallinger (Eric Johnson). Other supporters of Thackery at the hospital include Dr. “Bertie” Chickering Jr. (Michael Angarano), a young surgeon secretly in love with nurse Lucy Elkins (Eve Hewson), who is drawn to Thackery; Sister Harriet (Cara Seymour), who runs the foundling hospital and maternity ward; Herman Barrow (Jeremy Bobb), the Knick’s crooked superintendent, awash in debt and willing to risk The Knick’s future to pay it off; and Tom Cleary (Chris Sullivan), the ambulance driver who will stoop to the lowest depths to bring the right kind of patients to The Knick.
Now, fans will have the chance to take home all ten episodes of the debut season as THE KNICK: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON becomes available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD from HBO Home Entertainment UK.
