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.
It is all the most excellent fun. Paulson conveys a fathomless darkness while appearing to do almost nothing. When moments of viciousness break her affectless surface, it is genuinely disquieting.
No creative or narrative decision in the show really makes sense, and everything is much more intense than it should be. Yet you can’t help but be riveted and swept up. There’s something almost accidentally spellbinding about it.
“Ratched” is garish and gorgeous all at the same time; horrific and occasionally poetic; glamorous to an almost laughable degree; thrilling for a while and then puzzingly dull for stretches, only to become interesting all over again. The show is a fine and flawed example of who Murphy is and what he makes. You can’t help but be lured in by it.
Through it all the performances of Paulson, Davis, Cynthia Nixon (as Paulson’s potential love interest) and Sophie Okonedo (as a mental hospital patient) keep “Ratched” watchable even as the quality droops under the weight of too much melodrama.
Not a great show by any stretch, because it does suffer from the same narrative bloat that plagues many of Murphy’s other series; there’s simply too much going on here for any one story to be fully satisfying. There’s something entertainingly bold about its vision, and the Crayola-bright world these characters inhabit is a fascinating one—almost despite itself. Ratched is kind of a mess, yes, but can be a compulsively watchable one.
Ratched works very well as a moody, sensual thriller even if it's not so much an intellectual exploration.
Every actor is dutifully committed, even if some of the characters are little more than broadly drawn cartoon characters, the stories are energetically told (even when some of the episodes are over an hour long) and the entire mood and atmosphere of the show is wholly enveloping. For something so bleak and macabre, Ratched really is a lot of fun.
The drama (all eight episodes were provided for review) never seems to settle on whether this corrupt and eccentric woman is the hero or the villain of her own story, the aggressor or the victim. Watching Sarah Paulson navigate those extremes is chilling. ... These inconsistencies work together to make Nurse Ratched more terrifying in her unpredictability. ... But where Ratched really shines is through its stylized love of gore.
Ultimately, though, this is a thoughtful, moving examination of the repercussions of trauma, and a reclamation of queerness and femininity from a genre and source material that has treated both with contempt.
从《飞越疯人院》里打捞起的一个名字，被墨菲如鱼得水地幻化为美恐与美罪第二季般的传奇，精神迷狂，欲念交织，人比鬼更狠，爱比杀更冷，总是极对胃口，几乎要膜拜这种催人神魂隐隐发作的叙述。而且，他太会挖掘中老年女演员了，每一个站到那些几乎馥郁得崩裂的场景里，都在散发张狂而晕眩的色彩，看得欲罢不能。这几年的香蕉姐太幸福了，好角色源源不绝，而且这一季种种明星造型，目不暇接。看到分数没预期高，一直在想哪一集开始崩坏，但能撑到六集多，遗憾没那么大。四星半。
有几场戏实在太精彩了，吃生蚝，夜访精神病院，木偶戏……但从整体来看确实弱了点，一慢下来就让人昏昏欲睡，一拧油门就各种逻辑崩溃，瑞恩墨菲一贯的毛病了。
瑞恩墨菲拍的一切都是为艳阳下拿腔拿调的生活方式服务的。人物抓住着装和打光，场景抓住装潢和酒，剧情讲什么没那么重要，观众要是嫌剧情不好，那就是酒精摄入还不够。他也就擅长拍这种美国故事会。墨西哥的海滩，一众姐妹八卦闲聊，再搞个敞篷车放爵士兜风。
这个评分太骗人了叭，这什么鬼剧情啊，两分给美术，剩下没什么可称赞的了
虽说有点烂尾了 shit 这卡司简直是香蕉姐选妃大会 好姬好爱
每集都不同，可以看出每个编剧和导演的差距。但，演员是相同！SP真的很不错！！！第7集大卫林奇女儿拍的十分差，而且剧本也差差差，但sp硬是顶住了整集。Cynthia Nixon好久没出来演戏，有几集极好，最重要的一集因为剧本烂很难评。Ryan Murphy总体还是不错的。等下一季！中女年主群戏少，见一个支持一个啊！
感觉是《飞越疯人院》的前传，解释了为何医院没有医生只有护士。整部剧情节很节凑，每个人都有一股势力，此起彼伏，一波三折，赢家不断换人。第一季大多数场景是医院，有一种压迫感。第二季看样子要有大量外景，故事要朝外发展，有点期待，别搞砸了。
导演你……怎么想的？什么都好，就是你不会讲故事
瑞恩墨菲real美国于正。
米兰达喂香蕉姐吃生蚝………我的天哪
摄影运镜美术一流，节奏氛围音乐恰到好处，故事也很简单，腹黑又善于蛊惑人心的女主角进入精神病院当护士救杀人狂弟弟，导演几部美恐下来，对于这种惊悚题材，复古外壳，基本闭着眼睛拍都不会出错，不过同时这也是很大的弊端，不管是风格还是演员表演都给人似曾相识的感觉，没有新鲜感，美恐味十足。比较喜欢的几个点是在女主角暗黑复杂的人设下前期还有善良的感情流露，在性向的觉醒上处理也很惊喜，还有每当人物心理状态发生变化时随之转变的红绿滤镜，设计很巧妙。
看了前两集，光影服化道满分！就看剧情怎么发展了，目前可以给8.5分。看完更新：整季大放血，把有台词的人物基本都安排了，编剧你挺狠！这一季某种程度上说，就姐姐救弟弟“越狱”一般的故事，所有利益相关的都要利用好。女主这眼泪真是说来就来，弟弟鸡都不舍得杀却杀人不眨眼尤其是他认为的该死的；小蹄子让警察突突了；这是发生在医院的故事，所有人无一例外生理心理都有病！
太精彩了！！比美恐任何一季都要精彩，希望最新一季的美恐能比肩。
我不管，看了第一集我就是给五星，光是看见小少爷我就走不动路了…
看了两集，“桃子”又要引发另类讨论，开场杀人如麻，御用男主芬·维特洛克成杀人狂代名词了，不过还是墨菲的风格，权利争夺和性向张力是标配，色调调制和场景布置精良，香蕉姐依旧气势如虹，但节奏缓慢和人物众多，容易让人云里雾里，保守观望吧，毕竟“美恐”当年也弃过好几季…
香蕉姐优雅的气质和独特的绝望带着怜悯的眼神是我永远忘不了的!
I'm a savage, classy, bougie, ratchet. 色调服装场景剧情都挺好！花钱了！
作为电影《飞越疯人院》的前传剧集，故事年代设定于1947年，讲述女主角米尔德里德·拉契特如何由一名护士转变为影片中的冷酷无情的狠角色，聚焦她在精神病院的犯罪过程。
从前的香蕉已经死了，现在是 钮祜禄•拉契特•蕉。
期待Adele...啊不，水果姐...啊不...香蕉姐的新片
