Ran Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This one could be really good. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It does look good and Soderbergh is behind the camera for all the episodes. I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Will watch. A fan of Soderbergh (Traffic is one of my favs) and Owen is good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 So, what'd everyone think? The moment Cliff Martinez's score kicked in as Thackeray was driven across 1900 New York City, my jaw dropped a bit -- totally mesmerized by the incongruity of the electronic music over scenes from the turn of the 20th century. The surgery stuff is a bit too much for my own tastes -- I can be squeamish -- but the basic shape of the story looks really, really interesting.

Jack Bauer 24 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm going to watch it tonight. Pretty excited for this one as I've been looking for another show to start, specifically one for Friday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Ayras Lord Commander Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm hatefully bitter that I don't have Cinemax for the first time. This looks really intriguing from a subject matter perspective plus the people behind it. Lol, right there with you. Is it about experimental medicine, or depravity?

polishgenius Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Just watched it. Very, very good. Strong cast, great visuals and score, and some good scenes of dialogue (despite said dialogue being oddly sparse). A couple of the characters seem a bit stock at first glance, but we'll see how that develops as they get screentime. Is it about experimental medicine, or depravity? It's definitely about experimental medicine, but also has the early signs of the social and political struggles needed to keep that medicine going. In those 'fight for development' themes it's giving me a faintly Deadwood vibe, though it's unveiled them a lot quicker than Deadwood did iirc.

Queen Ayras Lord Commander Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Incredibly, it turns out that I do actually have Cinemax. So while I'm still quite interested in this show, perhaps the more compelling question is how a creature such as I could be so oblivious. Will probably watch tonight or tomorrow! :lmao: I still can't tell if I actually have it, but I can watch the show on demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blend off humor was a nice touch too. This is more intense than GoT, Nip Tuck, Dexter, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angalin Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Haven't seen it yet, but Owen's character is based on Halsted (sp) who was pretty well the first surgeon to start using gloves regularly instead of just having the surgical staff wash their hands with carbolic soap beforehand. I'm looking forward to catching up on it, as aseptic techniques are part of my subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbor Gold Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I feel like 2014 is a little late to be jumping in on the whole "male antihero" thing. Feels like I've seen this guy before. *yawn* The surgery stuff was cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I feel like 2014 is a little late to be jumping in on the whole "male antihero" thing. Feels like I've seen this guy before. *yawn* The surgery stuff was cool though. Yeah, the main character so far seems a lot like a 100 years younger version of House. That said, the first episode was good, but I don't know if I'll be around for the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I liked it, sure there's a lot that has been done before, but the show might branch out in the next episodes. As to the comparison with House, as long as Sarcoidosis isn't mentioned as a possible cause for any and all problems, I can't see it. Sarcoidosis was crucial to House :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we literally need a Hitler series for us to finally cycle through the antihero thing and get back to heroes. All the Reich Moves, anyone?

Wise Fool Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 By this point any Hitler-oriented plot is just full of sound and fuhrer, signifying nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
