Already fuming over the hospital's faulty new electrical system, Thackery tasks Herman Barrow, The Knick's crooked superintendent, to deliver more cadavers so he and his team can test out novel surgical procedures. With more patients dying, Algernon offers to share a procedure he learned in France, but is rebuffed by Thackery and Everett. Cornelia addresses a typhoid-fever outbreak; Lucy is taken into Thackery's confidence; Sister Harriet breaks a taboo. Algernon finds an alternative way to perform his duties. Written by Kevin Grogan
So, recently found this show and after binge watching first two episode this headline is that which came to mind "Show's Great But Episodes Are Greater". First let me clear one thing that I am writing this based on the experience of first two episodes please don't unleash your wrath on me yet because if further episodes are bad than I am not to blame. Now without giving any spoilers lets continue to review this with 2 points which make this episode great: 1: content this episode like the first episode is filled with content and gives audience a world to explore on their own.
2: Not Your Ordinary Drama This show along with this episode breaks everything cliched and gives you a new experience. This is all folks.
