The Netflix series focuses on the journey of Nurse Mildred Ratched – and how she went from a normal, well-intentioned nurse to a controlling, creepy and sadistic villain. Want more Rolling Stone?

We also have a custom editorial division which creates smart, shareable content for brands. Sometimes, she seems hopelessly naive. Now comes Netflix’s Ratched, created by Evan Romansky and produced by Ryan Murphy. Murphy is no stranger to big swings, but usually, it’s clear what interested him in a project even if it doesn’t work. @netflix raised the bar once again pic.twitter.com/JaB3sZ7vJV. Judy Davis, who has been a one-woman abattoir for most of her career, is surprisingly subdued here as Nurse Bucket, Ratched’s superior at the hospital. Courtesy of Netflix The utter humorlessness of Paulson’s performance is the one aspect of this Ratched that feels in keeping with Fletcher’s. Louise Fletcher, in her famous turn in the film, did everything she could to strip out the sexism inherent in the script by playing Ratched as professional rather than cruel, but the core remains. This is how much the Netflix series is based on a true story, All you need to know about One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest before watching Ratched, These 29 The Devil All The Time memes are better than their southern accents, This is what actually happens if you get a £10,000 house party fine. The longer the season goes on, the less she resembles anything even vaguely recognizable from the source material.

Ratched tries to Maleficent its way out of the cage that Kesey wrote for the nurse: it gives her a backstory. His most obvious folly is his reliance on those great, loud actors. She’s also, by the author’s, Once you take away the fanfiction trappings and all the bizarre homages/ripoffs of classic films (Cape Fear, Silence of the Lambs Written on the Wind), Ratched is business as usual for Murphy. If you We want to hear from you! Rather than being a thin metaphor for societal oppression, this Ratched is a collection of tired tropes and hacky cliches that add up to something even more hollow: yet another villain with backstory that tries to wave away every ludicrous thing we see.
Stone’s character travels around with a monkey in matching dresses; the monkey also gets arguably the season’s most consistent and satisfying arc. Cuckoo’s Nest dominated the Oscars on a night when the competition included many movies destined to become all-time classics, including Nashville, Dog Day Afternoon, Barry Lyndon, and a little summer confection called Jaws. If anything, Paulson is at her most Fletcher-y in her first few scenes, when she comes across as a repressed scold who finds libidinous thoughts and deeds to disapprove of wherever she looks. The rest of the cast, who don’t have the burden of carrying the show on their discreetly placed shoulderpads, generally fare better.

The problem isn’t necessarily that Murphy and Romansky don’t understand Nurse Ratched, there’s not a lot to get. Ratched is focused around the 1962 novel One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey. wow. The problem is that Murphy and Romansky’s reimagination is no less misogynistic – it just comes from a different angle. Everybody else is a right old mixed bag though, from Finn Wittrock’s dead-eyed serial killer through to Sophie Okonedo’s take on a patient with dissociative identity disorder that would’ve been considered offensive when the source text was first written. But it’s also an anchor on a show that’s otherwise aspiring to camp absurdity.

It’s a fool’s errand to try to rehabilitate that character into something human and three-dimensional.

The series is ostensibly designed to offer the origin story of Nurse Ratched, here given the first name Mildred and played by longtime Murphy muse Sarah Paulson. Ok, so what is the Dark Academia trend that’s all over TikTok? The source of all of McMurphy’s despair and angst in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, written by Ken Kesey in the 50s but more famously adapted by Milos Forman in the 70s, she’s a one-woman representation of everything that’s wrong with the system, man. With Sarah Paulson, Finn Wittrock, Cynthia Nixon, Judy Davis. ‘Ratched’: Netflix version of the ‘Cuckoo’s Nest’ nurse is a lousy scaregiver Visually striking series revels in gross-out moments and over-the-top characters. I’m sorry, but The Haunting of Bly Manor is Netflix’s stupidest show to date. QUIZ: Which character from The Haunting of Bly Manor are you? In 1976, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest became only the second movie ever to sweep the top five Academy Awards: Best Picture; Best Director for Miloš Forman; Best Screenplay (adapted) for Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben’s take on Ken Kesey’s novel; and both Best Actor nods, for Jack Nicholson’s rebellious mental patient Randall Patrick McMurphy and Louise Fletcher’s cold and merciless mental ward supervisor Nurse Ratched. as a vengeful rich woman. This is a spoiler-free review of Season 1 of Netflix's Ratched.

Very little of it fits together, especially in the later episodes, where other characters begin finding out who and what Mildred really is, and often do not react at all how you would expect them to, given the extreme circumstances.

It reimagines Ratched not as the embodiment of a corrupt system, but as a woman with a dark past who will do absolutely anything, up to and including murder, to get what she wants. It’s a generally accepted principle that if we understand why bad people do the things they do we’ll empathise with them, or at the very least sympathise with them. But in both the book and film, Nurse Ratched is so deliberately unknowable — less a person than a symbol of how society grinds individuals down in the name of conformity at all costs — that explaining who she is and how she became the woman who tormented McMurphy seems entirely besides the point.

The Guardian calls the series “gothic, gory thrills” saying it is “brilliantly menacing” and that Sarah Paulson will no doubt win awards for her portrayal of the nurse. Netflix is releasing the first season of Ratched on September 18th. Once you take away the fanfiction trappings and all the bizarre homages/ripoffs of classic films (Cape Fear, Silence of the Lambs Written on the Wind), Ratched is business as usual for Murphy. Some people are absolutely loving the show, whilst others are saying it’s completely bizarre – even by the creator, Ryan Murphy’s, standards. Not all of them are exactly in the same show as one another, but all seem in on the joke in a way Paulson does not. The Bird and the Bee Ready Christmas Album 'Put Up the Lights', Ice Cube Clarifies Role in Helping Trump Admin Develop ‘Platinum Plan’, Demi Lovato Makes Tearful Plea Against the ‘Commander In Chief’ in New Video, Flashback: Van Halen Play ‘Panama’ at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, ‘Good Steely Dan Takes’: A Chat With the Man Behind the Funniest Rock Fan Account on Twitter. New series Ratched may have only been released on Netflix today, but already the reviews are wildly mixed. The Telegraph quite simply says “Ryan Murphy has lost the plot with this absurd show” and calls the drama “out of control” – which if you ask me, sounds pretty fun. For all the latest Netflix news, drops and memes like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook. The acting is loud, the sets are gorgeous, and every time you get bored, there’s another ludicrous plot twist to lure you in. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!

Cynthia Nixon taps into the same level of pathos she brought to Emily Dickinson in A Quiet Passion, and single-handedly crafts the only emotional arc the show has onto its terminable eight episodes.
