Ratched

Sarah Paulson and Cynthia Nixon give great performances, but I'm getting really really really really really really really really really really really really bored with Murphy's style over substance filmmaking. Paulson deserves better.

This series is arguably bizarre, but it grows on you. At first I didn't think I'd make it through the first episode, but it's oddities keeps your fingers off the remote. A good cast helps keep you guessing. Give it a shot, I thoroughly enjoyed the insanity.

Ratched has certainly had the hype recently, hardly surprising when you think of Murphy's work, the big question, is it up to the hype?

The first thing that will strike you, the visuals, it is a fabulous looking show, bright, stylish, it has a very cinematic feel.

The acting is terrific, Sarah Paulson, Sharon Stone, and just wait til you see Sophie Okonedo, she is incredible.

It definitely has an AHS vibe, but it's more subtle, by expect some violence and gore, although the real horror comes from the medical practices that were indeed used for quite a few years.

You'll be kept guessing, you won't have a clue what comes next, it has the ability to surprise.

I really would recommend it, 8/10.

Perfect. That woman is one of the finest actors ever. She is so precise and delivers her dialog to perfection. Running her a close second in Ratched is the person who conceived and designed the sets and clothing. I got the distinct feeling that he/she designed and implemented every scene down to a gnat's eyelash. Cynthia Nixon was wonderful. And the color coordination of the clothing and scenery deserve a special shoutout. An all around great effort by Ryan Murphy and Netflix.

The visuals done in the show are incredible. That's about where the buck ends though. The rest of the show feels flat. We started watching not knowing what to expect and still felt a little bored and let down. Everything done is telegraphed so there's no real surprises. Its like all they cared about was how artsy it was, not caring at all if the story is good or not.
