Im giving the season a 9/10.
The acting, music, directing and cinematography was all top notch. There was a few times I felt the writing wasnt quite up to snuff and fell into some tv drama tropes but thats expected of any show frankly.
And after letting it sink in i felt the assassination scene with wu while entertaining was a bit much and kind of felt like it was misplaced.

Wtf u talkin bout? Ya Bish
I reckon Cocaine Thack just needs a chill pillBut, now the got him strung on that heroin
Go figure, Wu's nice with blades
And, now the head of The Knick is indebted to him
Algernon got himself Jack Johnson up
, while his PAWG live happily ever after
Another one of my phobia, is missing teeths
So, I couldn't stomach that scene with that CaC and his nutty wife
A nun that's an abortionist: Duality
And. Bertie treated Nurse Elks like the subordinate she is
bout that breh cuz she dont wanna be with that cac or be a housewife AND her father in law gon be tearing that ass up when the sons away

Yeah I finished last night, went on a dap spree but had to bounce. I will read the rest of the thread and comment later.
I'll say this for now, anybody that says we aren't currently in the golden age of TV is on the same shyt Thack is on.

Season 2=Heroin Thack 
Finally caught this weeks episode
Writing, acting and setting aside, this show might have the best production values I've ever seenThe score is amazing
The only slight issue I have is how quickly it seems Thackery had a 180 on his treatment of Algernon. He was nearly as severe towards his as Everett was and flipped in the span of one season pretty much. I get that we're supposed to realize that he was never really that racist but merely didn't want to deal with the distraction, but I think it would have worked better if it was drawn out over a few episodes.
This show is so incredible, my knickas
That was my only complaint too. Thack went from
to 
to 
in basically one episode. Can't really say it was poorly written, the arc was just extremely compressed.Over all the show is great. The hand held camera work is a bold choice in 2014, and almost every scene had a sway to it.
Soderbergh is a pro, I'm assuming it was meant to feel like you were there with them. This would also go in hand with the naturalistic lighting, and how rich the sound was. I don't mean the soundtrack, I'll get to that in a minute. I mean the sets had weight, you could hear people's heavy shoes hitting the wood floors, walls creaking, etc.
The soundtrack was bananas. It was like watching "Boardwalk Empire" with the "Mass Effect" soundtrack. shyt was bonkers.
Thack gotta be one of the worst protagonists in TV history. I don't mean quality-wise, I mean as far as having virtually no redeeming qualities. Dude is basically Bubbles as a doctor, with less charisma.
The only way the show could do worse is if Gallinger was the main character.
I assume Algernon is meant to be the counter weight to Thack. If Clive Owen wasn't on all the promo material you could argue Algy is the main character.
I see a lot of people clowning Berty but I
when he just put on his hat and bounced when Elkins said "I volunteered to help Thackery". People were expecting a dramatic blow up and he was like 
"fukk it I'm done".Random thoughts:
at Wu turning that bytch into "The Raid 3". I was watching that scene like 
Gallinger and Barrow are in a foot race to see who can catch the most Ls. When they took Gallinger's wife away I knew it was a wrap. "Psychiatrists" back then were a lot more dangerous than doctors.
Narratively this is probably the messiest show since "The Sopranos". They left a lot of loose ends open to only be averaging 400k an ep with no second season renewal at the time.

Thought it lost some steem after the first couple of episodes but once Thack began losing it shyt went to 
level once again. The finale was something else, 1900's fukkery was on a whole 'nother level.
Agreed that the Thack/Gallinger/Algie storyline felt very rushed, but it wasn't a major plot so I didn't mind it very much
ps: Reading on the doctor Thack's is based on and holy shyt brehs!
