Definitely going to be adding this to the rotation, even though Friday is an awful night for me personally to be watching TV. Still, really liking the trailers so far, and excited for this week.

I am quite excited for this. Sodaberg on tv should be amazing.

Holy EXPLETIVE DELETED. That first episode was great (and apparently judging by reviews it only gets better).

Quite good. The surgery scenes were electric. Though visually the whole show seems to be off the charts.

I liked it too. Never surprised me but really sucked me in nonetheless. It reminds me an awful lot of From Hell, somehow.

Surgery this morning ... The Knick pilot this afternoon.  Maybe it's the drugs just wearing off, but this has to be my favorite Clive Owen performance since Croupier.

He's really good! I don't even know if I have a favorite Clive Owen performance. Does Shoot 'Em Up count? (I couldn't remember the name of that movie and almost just called it "that carrot thing.")
