When we were talking with Clive Owen, he was honest and explained everything in detail. We watched a six minute introduction to "The Knick" the new series. Then asked him questions about it.
Clive Owen also mentioned that working with Soderbergh, brought good features from the company Cinemax. Cinemax is an American premium cable and satellite television network that is owned by the Home Box Office Inc.
With TV drama it is better to get more into the story because there are episodes. They aren't so overwhelming by time consumption and they are spread throughout a longer period of time (e.g. a year), where as in a movie lots of information is crammed into a short amount of time (e.g. 2 hours).
Clive Owen also mentioned that in the US "The Knick" went really well because there is a large viewing audience and Cinemax spent a lot of money to publicising the series. Also Cinemax spent more money than Sky Atlantic did on the series. But the UK isn't as big as the US so there is no need to spend a lot on posters, adverts, etc.
I found out that the funding to publicise the series is the same amount as the funding for the series. ($ 6-7million).
