On Cinemax
A visually stunning, intellectually rigorous period drama about surgical innovation and personal dissolution, where medical breakthroughs are shadowed by addiction and moral compromise.
Set in downtown New York in 1900, 'The Knick' is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and its staff, notably Dr. John Thackery, the hospital's brilliant chief surgeon who pushes medicine's boundaries, pioneering new procedures despite a severe drug addiction.
