An eccentric genius, unparalleled in talent, has returned to work after a gap of many months. He may be cold, and he’s definitely difficult, but there’s no denying the artistry he puts on display every week. We’re not just talking about the return of Clive Owen’s Dr. John Thackery — we’re also talking about Steven Soderbergh! Season two of The Knick premieres on Cinemax October 16.
