2. crooked white devil gets his comeuppance as he gets full frontal view of his love interest getting fucked doggy-style by another man.
3. strong independent white woman cheats on her husband by fucking a black man behind his back

Just a wonderful series for mature people such as I. The themes are almost incomprehensibly deep.

Why does the show parrot any politics at all? I can honestly see the tumblrinas gleaming with joy as they get all their beliefs and ideals validated by watching this contrived garbage, and here I thought I would get to watch a deep show instead of a tumblr post made cinematic.

Have you even watched The Knick? I'm not talking about some black man being cast or some white man doing an evil act.

Literally the whole show is centered around shallow social justice, it's so painfully obvious when the writer uses the characters to express his own political opinions time after time after time.
>>
>>69055837
Not him but I've never seen the show, and I dont like /pol/, ...but really the thing that I hate the most is plebs like you defending Hollywood telling us the same narrow story over and over and over and over again.

I mean my god, I just want to watch an interesting show with interesting and flawed characters trying to make their way through a difficult world. I don't want to watch Le magical smart heroic black man trope for the 14,681st time. It's the worst trope in Hollywood, and not corroborated by statistics at all.

Give me a fucking Asian gay man or a Samoan mute or fucking anything besides Le magical negro. Anyfuckingthing.

White woman wants to be independent, she is literally oppressed by an evil white man.

Black man wants to be respected and treated as equal, even though he's different from other white people.

White men don't treat blacks so good.

And that's it. That's all the show has been dancing around for an entire season.

Still there's always something to be said for pandering with the interracial cuckold meme.

I've no problem seeing mixed couples but the cuck angle or a cartoonishly evil white guy + cuck angle is embarrassing.

It's the same where the white character who mocks gays is secretly gay meme

>arguing with people under 25
>>
It is inevitable, especially in this day and age, that television programmes are going to reflect the sentiments of their time. Unfortunately, this is very apparent in historical dramas were they decide to forgo historical accuracy in favour of appealing to 21st century political and idelogical sentiments. I feel it's gotten worse in the last 10 years, but perhaps it's only because we have gravitated even farther away from the ideals which permeated society in the historical settings we usually wish to portray (such as early 20th century). It does, however, make for difficult viewing when you have to deal with constant revisionism, especially if you don't agree with the politicial motivation behind said revisionism.

I almost downloaded this show, but I have taken to finding out if a show is leftist propaganda before wasting my bandwidth. No doubt about it, this is one of the worst offenders.

How about a show in the same time period documenting the gradual invasion of the healthcare field by government and the rising costs that came with it? How about something showing the upside of the free market era of medecine?

The show clearly does not imply that. Look at Algie's interaction with other black people.

>left wing and right wing babbies shit flinging throughout whole thread

The Knick is an average show that could have been above average considering the reasonable acting talent, the interesting setting and good production value. Thats why it gets a lot of hate.

1. Having an accomplished black doctor in those days seems forced and unlikely, not because blacks incapable of being accomplished doctors, but because the political and socioeconomic atmosphere for that period makes the concept almost retarded. Would be happy for anyone to point me towards any historical figures that contradict that though.

2. The interracial love theme seems shoe-horned because it doesn't fit character motivation at all. Both the male and female parties have been shown to be intelligent and forward thinking for the whole season, so to engage in an illicit affair that will doom them is just shoddy writing. Not to mention neither of the characters have any chemistry with each other whatsoever.

3. There were themes that were handled very well in the show, like women's health/abortions that relied on moral ambiguity and inner conflict on part of the characters. I'm thinking of the nun and the bigguy4u who had excellent chemistry and weren't written in a hamfisted manner. Same goes for the way they handled the theme of substandard healthcare for minorities. A period-correct morally upstanding white doctor treating these people would have had as much, if not more, impact as a morally upstanding black doctor.

4. The research behind the medical techniques at the time was brilliant and the part that most appealed to me as a med student. If they kept the writing as accurate as possible I think this would be critically acclaimed.

I would make the same argument if some white dude was shoehorned into a period-piece on Africa. Sure its plausible that the village chief's right hand man is a viking who got shipwrecked, but it is dumb nonetheless.

Considering the state of medicine and the nigh non-existence of public health during that period, I would imagine that the university trained medical community would have been exceedingly small, and there would not have been any governmental regulation of medical certification (no public health regulations), so having a personal reference of a well-known fellow-doctor probably would have been your best bet at getting a job at any hospital anywhere in the world.

science-based medicine was only just beginning to fully sweep away traditional medicines on a societal scale during this time. Though don't quote me on this, I'm no medical historian

I forgot to continue watching into the second season so I can't comment on point 2, but I'd say its not better or worse than any other forced motivations that other tv shows give on a regular basis for the sake of "drama". Not every show can be as tight and well-written as BCS (and that's largely due to Gilligan having almost full control).

Your other 2 points were positives that I largely agreed with. Though a subpoint of point 3 was that why have a black doctor if you aren't going to utilize him in the setting? Furthermore, it provides a more realistic motivation for a black doctor (empathy) than a white doctor (sympathy, white man's burden) that could be construed as racist by the "sensitive" types that are often spoke of here

>>69058240

Yes fair point. I made that statement under the assumption that there weren't any accomplished black doctors around at the time, so why not have a white doctor fulfil the same role. However now that having a black doctor in the show makes sense from a historical perspective, I think I would agree that its right that he treat the minority patients.

I do like how they handled Thack's character throughout the season. He was, despite his flaws, pragmatic, driven and detached in order to get his job done and do it well. Not unlike some surgeons these days. I thought that was a nice touch, I wonder if it was intentional.

I haven't seen it past season 1 either, so who knows maybe season 2 is better written. I may check it out.

Not without flaws but the music, direction and lighting are all god tier which for me elevates its statues consierably

Based Cleary and Harriet are the best characters. Honorable mention to Gallinger. Especially season 2 when he absolutely blows Algie the fuck out
