    horrible series it feels like ahs told these actors no way we are doing this. the actors decided to promote their ideals and attempt to shove them down everyones throat with poor character direction that is masked by constant lgbqt that doesnt help to enhance the story or build the characters. a sad attempt to progress one flew over a cuckoo nests brillant writing.

    Beautifully shot but a depressingly bloody mess of a show. Turned it off after 50 minutes. The only thing darker than Ratched is the current pandemic.

    These types of shows are becoming so predictable it hurts. What could have been a terrific show ends up being Netflix shoving its agenda down our throats as if we're brainless idiots who are being told to sit down, shut up and like it. Let's see how many boxes we can check off on the ol' Netflix "progressive" agenda checklist. Christianity bad, priests sexual deviants, pointless LGBTThese types of shows are becoming so predictable it hurts. What could have been a terrific show ends up being Netflix shoving its agenda down our throats as if we're brainless idiots who are being told to sit down, shut up and like it. Let's see how many boxes we can check off on the ol' Netflix "progressive" agenda checklist. Christianity bad, priests sexual deviants, pointless LGBT overtones shoehorned in, all white men bad (minus the disfigured one), all women portrayed as brilliant, flawless and independent, all men portrayed as stupid, weak or subservient etc etc.. I don't want to give too much away. The potential this show could have lies in the way it was shot. It looks stunning. The music is taken straight from Cape Fear but it works. Overall, I give it a 3. Another predictable Netflix mess indicative of the time it was filmed, not the time it takes place. The best shows/movies don't pander. This show panders at every turn but hey, why put in effort to be innovative or creative? Work smarter, not harder... right?… Expand

    Sharon Stone is a vengeful heiress and that’s all she is; Corey Stoll is an incompetent hitman and that sums him up. This isn’t acting, it’s posing. Happily Judy Davis and Sophie Okonedo — both Oscar nominees — do eventually develop juicy parts. And “Ratched” becomes watchable entertainment. But that style-over-content thing makes you wonder if Ryan Murphy shows would be better off with less Ryan Murphy.

    The pleasures of “Ratched” are dulled by the constraints of IP maintenance. ... Still, it’s a credit to Romansky that “Ratched” remains watchable in spite of the conflict between inspiration and obligation.

    When it's not being too gross to watch or too ridiculous to matter, this series is a treat for the eyes. [28 Sep - 11 Oct 2020, p.9]
