I have to disagree with you on this one.....this whole show is a mess IMO and I got as far as the second episode before I shut it down forever. This series seems to be very loosely based on Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.....and indirectly trashes a more brilliant movie.Ratchet - supposedly written as a prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - is good so far; in an edge of your seat sort of way. Young Nurse Ratchet is a manipulative psychopath with a backstory. It's dark satire - the surreal and eerily beautiful hospital is weird. It looks like a luxury hotel from back in those days. It's supposed to throw us for a loop, I think. The acting, 40s/50s sets, costumes, are all really well done. Violence in the pilot episode was bad - you might want to cover your eyes when you suspect it's coming - but the next episode was not so violent. It's part dark satire, and psychological thriller - there's a shadowy film noir quality about it - with some weirdly funny (and peculiar) bits.
This one is good movie quality.
I too turned it off. Wasn't my cup of teaI have to disagree with you on this one.....this whole show is a mess IMO and I got as far as the second episode before I shut it down forever.

But that's just my opinion, carry on.......
Oh, it doesn't do justice to the movie, agreed - it's somebody's imaginary take on that character's past - I think I just love the sets and costumes. And it's weird. But I'm hooked.I have to disagree with you on this one.....this whole show is a mess IMO and I got as far as the second episode before I shut it down forever.

It's far from politically correct. That's the point of shocking us. But things were bad then. And people were ignorant then.I enjoyed Ratched, I don't think it was brilliantly done, some of the stuff was lazy, and it's far from politically correct with mental illnesses. I did find it a fun watch though, and I do view it more at poking fun at how people/media portrayed mental illnesses in the time period, rather than poking fun at the mental illnesses themselves.
