>Steven Soderbergh Says He's About To Pitch Next Two “Extreme” Seasons Of ‘The Knick,’ Wants To Direct Again
>“It was always conceived in two-year chunks,” he elaborated earlier this year. “The writers met yesterday to talk about what year three and four would look like — when would it take place, who are the characters...And that’s what we’re doing now.”
>Well, it looks like a concept has been found, and Soderbergh, if all goes according to plan, is itching to get back in the operating theater. Speaking with Vox, the director revealed how "The Sopranos" writer David Chase influenced his approach to television, and explained where things are at with the next two seasons.
>"One of the things that David Chase did that I’m happy about is that he destroyed this whole idea of the show has to come on every year, in this month, on this date, and have this many episodes. He just ignored all that and was like, 'We’ll be ready when we’re ready.' That sort of dogmatic attitude about what a series is has gone away," Soderbergh said. "We always envisioned 'The Knick' in two-year increments and with the idea of annihilating what came before every two years. The network was excited about that and said that sounds cool. I just met with [writers Jack Amiel and Michael Begler] yesterday. We’re building our idea of what three and four might look like, to get ready to present [to the network]. It’s pretty extreme, but I think it should be."
>"If we can achieve what I’m hoping, story-wise, then I’d like to keep going. What I hope will happen is that we will figure something out that I’ll feel like I have to do this," he added. It was that have to do it feeling that spurred Soderbergh to tackle the series in the first place, so here's hoping he gets that spark again.

I really really really hope Clive Owen is back.
He was GOAT in season 1 and 2.

The article is from today
How good was The Knick, comparatively?
I haven't watched that much GOAT television, but I consider The Wire very good and Mad Men among the best I've seen. Haven't done The Sopranos yet. Just started Boardwalk Empire. Didn't get the hype for Breaking Bad.
>>68159643
It's Sopranos tier but falls short when compared to The Wire.
>>68159643
what >>68159687 said
season 1 was amazing but 2 gets a little soap opera'y
better then early mad men IMO but not as good as early seasons of the wire or late seasons of mad men
Was thinking about starting this, any good?
>>68159643
It's just below The Wire/Sopranos for me. With all this talk about Soderbergh's ambitions for continuing the show I believe it could easily enter that top level in the third season.
>>68159643
I think it's the best show on television since Mad Men ended
Fargo is a close second but The Knick is just revolutionary. It has wonderful cinematography, the acting is top notch, it's very well directed, the stories are interesting, the score is great. It's just a fucking great show
>>68159766
This is a Knick thread so absolutely most here are fans of the show. All in all, it's a great show.
>tfw no Birdie BFF
>>68159643
Every show looks bad compared to the Wire, but the Knick is easily one of the best 5 shows from the past two years.
