From the first episode it was off and running. The pace hasn't faltered to this day. It has some of everything going on; drug addiction, sex, gambling, racketeering, illegal medical clinics, prostitution, dieses outbreaks, and so on. You get the picture. Enjoy..

This is easily the best show to come out last year. Every week's episode had me hooked and I cannot wait for Season 2 to start. You are doing yourself a great disservice by missing this show. Even if you don't have Cinemax just buy it online some where. Clive Owen kills it as does Andre Holland.

The cinematic shots of the city landscape are breathtaking. I fell like I'm really looking at new york in 1901. A society breaching into the 20th century through the eyes of a hospital. All the marvels and sheet that comes with it. Please please Clive Owen sign up for more seasons!
