From iconoclastic producer Ryan Murphy (“Glee,” ‘American Horror Story,” “Pose”) comes this luridly entertaining and visually seductive drama that tells the origin story of Mildred Ratched (Sarah Paulson), the “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” nurse everyone loves to hate.
Set in 1947, the series follows Mildred as she finds employment at a remote psychiatric hospital near Big Sur, where new and disturbing experiments have begun on the human mind. Though she presents herself as a dutiful caretaker, she’s on a secret mission that could leave multiple victims in its wake.
“Ratched” contains all the usual Ryan Murphyisms — the snarky quips, dark humor, squirm-inducing gore and eye-rolling excesses.
