Ratched

Started by: Tommy Two Stroke (15369)

I have just had a real "Treat" in watching the very first episode of Ratched on Netflix.

It is the story of Nurse Ratched, from "One Floo Over The Cuckoo's Nest"

Ratched Trailer

The Guardian Review

It is loverly, looney and dark

I will watch it soon. Sarah Paulson is a good actor, she was good in the American Horror series.

Thanks for posting that recommendation TTS.
I watched the trailer on Netflx but 75% sure it's not for me.
I'm a box set addict and need to have one on the go, and the next one "lined up"

Des was great and watching the documentary the night after showed how well Tennant portrayed Nilson. excellent programme which was respectful to the victim I feel.
I am going to watch Ratched too

I like the way they have made Ratched, the hospital is depicted in the same style as the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, with the long straight corridors, and Stanley Kubrick stye of filming.
The outside world is depicted in a style which has its own word, but I cannot think what it is, but it is a surreal blend of 1950s life, depicted in mainly in bright yellow and green colours, and obviously taken from the film Edward Scissor Hands.

It is a Film Noir, but made in an absurd dystopian way .....

Its weird
