When you pair that with the fact that the show features Sarah Paulson as Mildred Ratched and Finn Wittrock as Edmund Tolleson\u2014both very familiar faces to <i>Horror Story<\/i> fans\u2014then you might as well consider this show to be <i>American Horror Story: Ratched<\/i>. Because that\u2019s exactly what it feels like.<\/p>\n<p>Really, it\u2019s best to go into <i>Ratched<\/i> without really thinking about <i>Cuckoo<\/i>. And if you\u2019ve never seen <i>Cuckoo<\/i>, that might be even better. Because you\u2019ll never get to a point where you see a familiar Nurse Ratched\u2014at least in the first (and only) season so far.<\/p>\n<p>But that also doesn\u2019t make it bad. It\u2019s just different that what many people might expect it to be, and should be viewed as a new experience.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get any further, a word of caution: This show isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. It\u2019s riddled with violence, blood, gore, sex, drugs, and a lot more. Its crudeness may offend sensitive viewers; some of the topics and treatments discussed and preformed\u2014while <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriate for the time\u2014may be equally as hard to watch for some viewers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s edgier than anything Ryan Murphy has been able to do on <i>American Horror Story <\/i>because it\u2019s not constrained by the same rating system. This is not \u201cmade for TV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re cool with that, then by all means\u2014watch it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Start_This_Is_Kind_of_an_Origin_Story\"><\/span>To Start, This Is Kind of an Origin Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ratched | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZU9ZtlkSnnE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The show is set in 1947\u2014a full 16 years before <i>Cuckoo. <\/i>It\u2019s the story of how Mildred Ratched got her start as an asylum nurse. It paints a very different picture than you might expect, showing how far Nurse Ratched will go to get what she wants. I won\u2019t give away any spoilers, but the first episode really sets the tone for the entire first season (and likely beyond).<\/p>\n<p>The way I see it, Mildred Ratched has no official origin story. Canonically, we don\u2019t know where she came from, how she got started, and what it took for her to get that \u201cbattleax\u201d attitude. As such, this is a new take on what made her the way she is by the time we see her in <i>Cuckoo<\/i>. Whether or not you agree with how she\u2019s portrayed in the show, well, that\u2019s another matter altogether.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sarah_Paulson_Is_Fierce_and_Unrelenting\"><\/span>Sarah Paulson Is Fierce and Unrelenting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because <i>Ratched <\/i>is so different than <i>Cuckoo<\/i>, I\u2019m going to keep the comparisons to a minimum. In fact, what I\u2019m getting ready to say might be the only direct comparison I make the entire time. Nurse Ratched is a straight-laced serious-as-a-heart-attack woman who takes no shit from anyone. And that\u2019s exactly what you get from Mildred Ratched in <i>Ratched<\/i>, too.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Paulson is as fierce as she\u2019s ever been on any season of <i>AHS<\/i> or otherwise as Mildred Ratched. But she takes the character to a new level\u2014a level that many <i>Cuckoo <\/i>fans may not enjoy. Because she\u2019s calculated, manipulative, and cold as ice. She\u2019s a much, much darker version Nurse Ratched. Because she\u2019s a new vision for Mildred Ratched.<\/p>\n<p>As I stated earlier, the show starts with Mildred\u2019s not-so-humble beginnings as an asylum nurse. She gets the job exclusively through careful planning and incredible manipulation\u2014both of people and the situation. Sarah Paulson absolutely commands the screen any time she\u2019s present in a scene, whether she\u2019s speaking or not. And when she does speak, her dialog is sharp and calculated\u2014she\u2019s as quick as she is elegant, constantly plotting her next move.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ratched | Final Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l2tbRZn7tpY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But you might be asking yourself why she needed to manipulate the situation to get a job as a nurse. Well, there\u2019s some backstory there, and it all has to do with the murder of four Catholic priests that takes place in the very first episode. Again, I won\u2019t give away any spoilers, but it\u2019s a big plot point that gets the show off to a strong start.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_It_Aalso_Has_Typical_Ryan_Murphy_Subplots_Too\"><\/span>But It Aalso Has Typical Ryan Murphy Subplots, Too<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever watched anything Ryan Murphy has done, you know how this works: There\u2019s a main plot, then there are a bunch of small sub-stories being told along the way. Well, <i>Ratched<\/i> is no different.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the subplot that I briefly mentioned earlier with the murder of the priests by Edmund Tolleson. Then there\u2019s Dr. Hanover, the guy who runs the asylum. And the absolutely loathsome and pathetic Nurse Betsy Bucket. Each of these characters (and several others) have their own stories and subplots that weave in and out of the primary story in a very fluid and easy-to-follow manner.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a <em>Horror Story\u00a0<\/em>fan, then you know that it\u2019s often filled with subplots that never go anywhere, so I\u2019m really hoping that\u2019s not what happens in\u00a0<em>Ratched<\/em>. At the time of writing, I have three episodes left, but so far, everything seems to be coming together nicely. I\u2019m really hoping it doesn\u2019t fall apart the way\u00a0<em>AHS\u00a0<\/em>has done so many times in the past.<\/p>\n<p>But as of right now, I think\u00a0<em>Ratched\u00a0<\/em>might be some of Ryan Murphy\u2019s strongest work to date. It doesn\u2019t hurt that it\u2019s\u00a0already slated to get a season 2, so there\u2019s plenty of time for the smaller storylines to get wrapped up in the future (unlike\u00a0<em>AHS<\/em>, which is an anthology).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_You_Watch_It_Keep_an_Open_Mind\"><\/span>If You Watch It, Keep an Open Mind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55184\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55184 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/4cf592903d7558c2218fcfd375b17665\/p\/uploads\/2020\/09\/x96041ae4.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.ua9mFotcMm.jpg\" alt=\"The &quot;Ratched&quot; logo\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Netflix\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Ratched<\/em> isn\u2019t for everyone.
