20世纪初，抗生素尚未发现，一场外科手术就有可能让人丧命，萨克雷医生就是在这种环境下不断挑战医疗边界。在电影台最新发布的这组官方海报中，我们将看到一批围绕在他周围的迷人角色，片中的血腥场面是家常便饭，让观众可以直击当年的医疗现实。 当史蒂文·索德伯格( Steve Soderbergh )决定告别影坛时，他或多或少地也表示过，不断攀爬电影高峰的几十年来，他付出了很多，也收获了很多。但这位电影人同样也不惧挑战，看起来电视界为他提供了一个更好的机会，能够通过一个更宏伟、更大胆的框架讲故事，其中的余地和自由是在好莱坞电影工作室享受不到的。不过这仅仅是索德伯格这部即将在电影台( Cinemax )播出的新剧《尼克病院》( The Knick )令人期待的原因之一。。American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。
