How they all knew he'd die as soon as he cut himself. That was terrifying to look at. I never liked Owen in movies before but in The Knick his performance was absolutely amazing.
His death almost overshadows Tom setting up Harriet. That was a big surprise for me. I knew he is a bit iffy around the edges but generally a good and caring guy under that hard shell. But screwing her over like that? Wouldn't have thought he is so strictly against "abortionalists" but tolerated it anyway out of love for her.
Herman getting radiation poisoning serves him right. I got a headache by simply watching him getting his first x-ray, where the salesman wanted to demonstrate the machine and told Herman he needs to stand in front of it for couple of hours. Henry being responsible for the fire was kinda obvious but not that he is such a ruthless killer, as he threatend Cornelia. Who in return fled the country to be free from him and out of his reach. While Lucy got what she wanted all along, a man in the upper stand and a corresponding status for herself.
Soderbergh created this show as a two year arc, even though a season 3 script was ordered. The tying up of all loose ends makes this apparent. So, in case there will be a third season, this is the "true" end. Alongside the end for season 1 of American Crime, this is my most favourite season/show end.
