Having absolutely loved the way Nurse Ratched was portrayed in OFOTCN, i must admit to being downright disappointed with this offering. I have watched 4 episodes - each one in the hope that it would improve. It didn't! The acting, or should i say 'hamming' is quite terrible and the situations arising within the asylum are ridiculously far-fetched. I won't be watching any more episodes.
I watched 3 episodes, but got less and less interested. However, it did prompt me to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the first time... which was quite good.
I’m watching it and enjoying it. It’s cleverly filmed, replicating something like a 1940s comic strip and isn’t intended to be taken seriously - hence the bizarrely gruesome story line and the ‘hammy’ acting.
