It looks like it has nothing to do with the source material but aside from that it seems like it could be an interesting watch.

Everyone in the comments is talking about AHS in relation to this. How much it looks like AHS, seems like a sequel to Asylum. Do people under the age of 40 just not know what Cuckoo's Nest is or...?

Is poor Louise Fletcher deceased? This is embarrassingly wrong and hideous to look at.

The color palette is pretty tacky and unimaginative even for a Ryan Murphy production. Why does no one put any thought into anything any more?

EW Review: I was all set to credit Ratched as a glossy misstep, another nice-to-look-at mediocrity from a creative coalition that needs some new ideas. And then I got to the finale, which is one of the worst hours of television I’ve ever seen, successfully stitching lame soap opera cliches and lame horror cliches into a veritable Frankenstein of dramatic lameness. The clothes are nice, but they’re dressing a corpse.

I’m half way through. Very campy, very AHS-like. The costuming is great.

From Bloody Disgusting a horror movie site....
"Ratched is one of the best television shows of the year and it’s easily the greatest thing that Ryan Murphy has done in ages."
Different strokes, ya know.

Being the greatest thing Ryan Murphy is done in ages is not much of a compliment when so much of his work is tedious, overproduced, condescending trash.

So disappointed in the first two episodes. It's just "American Horror Story :Ratched", nothing more. Gorgeous sets, costumes and cinematography. That motel is to die for. Could have been a great straight dram with that cast, but alas....

[quote]Gorgeous sets, costumes and cinematography.
Which I feel were largely recycled from the Hollywood show . They are very nice though. I have watched two episodes so far. I don't hate it, but it is not compelling me to watch the next episode as soon as possible.
Paulson is competent and a decent actress, but there is nothing so far that either makes me love to hate her or enough vulnerable subtext to feel sorry for her. I don't care about her enough one way or the other for someone who is the centerpiece of the show.
The first time Nurse Bucket was introduced, did anyone half expect her to say "it's Bouquet"?
Again, I am not hating it and maybe it will develop a slow burn that I will say "wow" when it is over.

This is the first and quite possibly the last time I ever say this but Sharon Stone is stealing the whole thing.

was she supposed to be a 9 to 5 nurse, or an aristocrat?

She's a fine actress but am I the only one who didn't like Sophie Okonedo as the multiple personality patient in this? Maybe it was the writing. And Charlie Carver has almost no character to play.

The second half of the season is increasingly terrible, with nothing making a lick of sense.

It seemed really gimmicky, and a couple of the alters got old and tedious fast. I thought her and Edmund's sneering in the last couple of episodes not that interesting and am not sure I would feel that compelled to come back and watch them chew scenery in a second season.
Was surprised at the turn they went with Bucket and her relationship with Mildred. Not sure it was in-character for either of them, and seemed more plot driven, but I thought Bucket was more interesting at the end.
I have never seen or read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I am guessing the answer is no, but does this version of Ratched mesh well of how she would be by the time the book and/or movie took place?

Sharon was awesome. Is there going to be a second season, the ending was a bit open-ended.

I will have to say I am on Mildred's side in not wanting to go to a creepy marionette show, even without the traumatic history.

It was all about the kindness she showed her.

Yes, if you got the impression the movie Ratched was a conniving murdering psychopath.
