Full of drama and psychological terror, it is based on the novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey. What the miniseries is about.
Netflix has accustomed us to releasing content of very good cinematic quality. Both films and series or miniseries, whatever the genre.
Works recognized as being from the Underworld. And many actors from the big screen have turned to short-run series. Such is the case of Sarah Paulson or Sharon Stone for this work by Evan Romansky.
What is Ratched, the Netflix miniseries, about?
Ratched is the prequel to the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)based on the novel of the same name by Ken Kesey. The fiction is set in the year 1947 when Miss Ratched is in the prime of her youth, a time when she slowly begins to evolve into the strict and authoritarian nurse in a psychiatric hospital in Oregon. Her firm personality and penetrating gaze captivate whoever stands before her. For love or hate.
Mildred arrives in Northern California to look for work at the Santa Lucia Psychiatric Hospital, renowned for creating and applying new experiments with the human mind. Mildred Ratched thus presents herself as the perfect nurse.but as she begins to work at the hospital, she will discover that its elegant exterior hides a darkness that will also affect her on the inside.
Little by little, the miniseries gets darker as the shocking and disturbing events and tests on the patients inside the hospital unfold. Blood, schizophrenia, and even a sex scene. All this and much more in Evan Romansky’s work.
