Set in downtown New York in 1900, THE KNICK centers on Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff, who push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics. The writing team of Jack Amiel and Michael Begler (Raising Helen, Big Miracle), who wrote the pilot for the series, will serve as executive producers, along with Soderbergh, Owen, Michael Sugar (Rendition) and Gregory Jacobs (Behind the Candelabra).
I'm only familiar with Cinemax through Banshee but given their targeted audience, this wasn't something I'd imagine them doing but given that's it's on a premium cable means that it won't be your cookie cutter medical drama and it's great that they're pushing a vision of what makes a Cinemax series. Looking at some of the movies the writers have done made me pause for a moment but nevertheless there's enough interest for me to check this out, Soderbergh's directing all 10 episodes and this will premiere during the summer.
