It was an ugly episode that was also extremely satisfying, if that makes sense.October 07, 2015
I don't know how I feel about this as an overall strategy for a television show-it made for some slow-moving episodes and generally odd pacing for most of the season-but it definitely made for an explosively satisfying hour.September 30, 2015
As if atoning for last week's dithering, Get the Rope is as perfect-in form, function and spirit-as Soderbergh gets.October 02, 2015
It's a tense, taut episode of television, with the pressure relieved at the end in classic Knick fashion.October 08, 2015
In the end, the conclusion to 'Get the Rope' presents The Knick with so many new story possibilities that the ungainliness of how certain threads were handled is outweighed by the benefits they bring to the overall narrative.October 07, 2015
If there's a lot of forward momentum within individual episodes - this one in particular - the season as a whole has taken its sweet time moving stories forward.October 07, 2015
"Get the Rope" grips undeniably, but it also goes down feeling like the most disingenuous episode yet. It's soapy, morally charged, and Grand Guignol all at once.October 01, 2015
The episode was a seamless, symphonic presentation of the hospital's involvement in a single event, a race riot that turned Lower Manhattan into a domestic war zone.October 01, 2015
Every now and again, television throws an episode at viewers that we can only discuss in hushed, reverent tones.October 07, 2015
I feel like his work on this series has only gotten stronger with each episode, to the point of giddy anticipation for the last three installments of this first season.
