The series is a look at the professional and personal lives of Dr. John W. Thackery and the staff at New York's Knickerbocker Hospital, where they try to maintain their reputation for quality care while struggling to keep the doors open.
A villain is slowly being introduced to the world of The Knick: As typhoid fever makes the rounds, Cornelia Robertson-notably, not a doctor-calls it out as a matter of real concern.
It's completely different then everything that came before, and it's this sequence, after all's said and done, that sticks with you the most. Well, that, and the syphilis.
These scenes of the compassionate, arrogant Edwards's clandestine efforts continued to be the best and most interesting part of the show, benefiting from Mr. Holland's vibrant performance.
I think that the The Busy Flea, the third episode of Cinemax's The Knick, quite conspicuously fits this pattern, thanks in large part to its fascinating opening and closing scenes,
Doctor Thackery's ex-girlfriend Abby, who shows up at the hospital with a raging case of got-your-nose. It seems her husband has been sleeping with a girl in his office who was secretly syphilitic, and now-infected Abby has gone all Voldemort.
We're only three episodes into this series, and there's enough beauty and darkness baked into even the most overwrought scenes to give the The Knick a mulligan this week.
With tone and vibe to spare as usual, The Knick continues to impress as Dr. Edwards' banishment to the basement is finally beginning to wear thin on his nerves.
