I thought so too, but then I remembered that he's a high functioning addict and he's just getting back to that stage.
His addiction is definitely still very much there,

Great episode! I just discovered that I have Cinemax for streaming as part of my internet! I have HBO and got hooked on season 1, so happy that I get to see season 2 now.
This is one of the best shows on right now, more people need to see it! They really need to move it to HBO, something more mainstream

Cinemax is doing an amazing job with these shows lately. Banshee, Strike Back, and now The Knick (just started watching, already one of my favorites).
Out of curiosity, anyone knowledgeable in the area know how likely Edwards' will be able to recover? That kind of injury has to be career ending for a surgeon if it's permanent.

Rewatching season 1. I love how thematically dense this show is, theres just so much subtext boiling away in the plot. Race, identity, class, ethical issues, gender issues, show has a lot of shit going on. I like S1 better than S1 of any show minus the Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under and Sopranos.
Show has potential to be right up there with those all time classics. Its just expertly crafted.

I don't think writing-wise the show gas reached "the greats" yet, let's see how this season goes.

New episode tonight!
I had to look away. That doesn't happen to me very often. :-/

WTF @ that over eager old doctor and the prostitutes:
"I'll get some swabs for you"
"That's not necessary"
"Then how will you culture them?"
"Ah, a good nose and a pair of eyes are all a doctor needs to know what he's dealing with"

I was surprised to see that the health inspector was killed, and off screen to boot! I'm not sure if the show needs a murder mystery subplot, but I'm interested to see how it plays out.
That entire (single take?) scene was absolutely riveting.

Yeah, that scene was just majestic. This show continues to impress.

It reminded me of the preacher madness of There Will Be Blood.
Easy to forget how common the spirit of revival was in turn of the century America.
I like that they're diving into that theme.
The actor himself plays the insufferable religious fanatic to perfection.
I like how Lucy appears mildly embarrassed when her dad starts speaking in tongues.

yo, that creepy ass new doctor....
Lol the "Why use those when they can just my shoulders to support their legs?" was just the cherry on top, to put stop to any doubts.
I actually found that big sniff he took before getting to work was the cherry on top.

That scene had me incredibly tense and squeamish
Great episode. Looks like Thackery is gonna get back on the drugs again to get his superpowers back

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Pervy Doctor cracked me up. It just kept ratcheting up in creepiness. Oh he seems really eager to help. Oh, he wants them to rest their legs on his shoulders...oh he's going to put his nose in her vagina.
The eye surgery freaked me out. I rarely have to look away from surgeries or anything like that, but I almost had to there. I was afraid Thackery was going to slip up and jam the scalpel in Edwards' eye. 👀

Wait, that's it? Is that the squirmiest part of the whole procedure? Injecting the border between the orbit and the eyelid? I would've figured with an ophthalmologist as the show's "surgery expert consultant" (lol), depiction of any eye operation would've been fantastic.
Watch the episode.
Best thing you can do. But I'll just say it wasn't the needle, it was the knife near his eyeball (a few seconds later) that was cringey.

My one complaint is how quickly San Fran seems to have been dropped. Hopefully Im speaking prematurely and theres a return to California, because I liked the woefully under-explored territory of the west coast Asian American turn of the century immigrant experience.

The tension is from Clive Owen's questionable ability to even perform the procedure, owing to his poor mental state and visibly shaky hands.

Another great epi. Love the soundtrack. I'm just love everything about the show.
Right. The writers quickly shifted the story back to the status quo, which is somewhat disappointing.
Nevertheless I look forward to what's in store this season. But it's like they did a full reverse from the season 1 finale.

Yeah I just googled Dr Mays Knick and I thought it looked weird. I guess there are no promo materials for the creepy doc
