Yep The Knick was great.
I'm mostly bummed out about Carnivale, there were supposed to be 6 seasons with 10+ episodes each, but HBO must've decided it was too good to be true or something so they cancelled. Would've been one of the best shows ever, even though it probably still is now.
I don't know what happened to TV man, a few years back everybody was raving about how TV was in its golden years. But it has gone so downhill, Netflix releasing tons, and I really do mean tons of very mediocre series, HBO saying that they want to go for more quantity than quality etc....
Golden years... fuck that man, golden year was like 2004 or something. HBO was of the charts back then, The Wire, Deadwood, Carnivale, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, all in one year. Some others as well, The West Wing, Curb your enthusiasm, and I'm probably forgetting some classics.
