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.
Settings are pretty with pop colors.
Acting is fine.
I've been waiting the whole season for tension to build up and explode in a great finame, but it stayed constant. So the ending was a little bit disappointing.

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.
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.
