/ netflixuk
In 1947, Mildred Ratched begins working as a nurse at a leading psychiatric hospital. But beneath her stylish exterior lurks a growing darkness.

[@nadiasmith2927]

Sophie Okonedo is INCREDIBLE. She has always been a great actor but she absolutely stole the show.

[@hannahstrong952]

Definitely! She was amazing

[@manaalsidd]

Amen! Her performance was phenomenal! It really made me scared.

She sucked.

Sophie Okonedo performance floored me. She’s fantastic!

[@radioblast88]

Absolutely breathtaking!!!

[@kasumiijay]

The way Sophie changed from different characters was AMAZING!! Oscar worthy performance. This is my first time hearing about her. Also Sharon reminds me of Madonna and Jessica Lange mixed together lol the wardrobe was amazing too. amazing!!

[@amayacastro4335]

[@ceciliaallen7166]

she gives me gillian anderson vibes in this show

[@sarai373]

And I thought was Virginia Madsen. Jeez...she resembled so many. Lol

[@lucy0190]

I am literally obsessed with Sarah Paulson she is a queen actress 💛

[@malenyusay3892]

I love the costumes. The costume designers did a great job at being accurate with the 1940s attires and making the colors more vibrant. 😍😍😍

[@batuffolinabianca]

the costumes, the makeup, the sets, the colors... I'm obsessed with them all, they're a feast for the eyes

[@ashleytucker9472]

Yes the costumes were breathtaking!

Sheryl Ervin ❤️ thank you for taking your time to comment that. Did it make you feel better? Did it make you happy?

[@dcny69]

No you wouldn’t.

[@flipczech]

I'm so glad to see Filipino actors, finally. Love this show, the acting is stellar, especially Judy Davis, yeow!

[@paigewashington6018]

I was so Glad Dr. Hanover wasnt the typical white man

[@elizabethgonzalez6790]

He was amazing ! Got damn anxiety watching him

[@perdasche]

Void yes! And Judy did amazing!!

[@pinkdagger]

And his backstory with him and his family being specifically Filipino instead of "generic Asian" - so glad they did that.

[@music_addict_with_a_pen1397]

aaaa same!! When I heard that I was really like yes my people are being represented!

[@crayzeenaebear97]

Sophie Okonedo has had my heart since Secret Life of Bees. Glad to see she is still taking over the screen!

[@spicykennag]

I knew I know her somewhere

[@NunyaBizzzzz]

Oh thank you! Wanted to know if I knew her from other roles.

[@yannnaaaa]

My favorite movie !

[@pistachiooo9033]

anyone else feels that the ice pick scene (where dr. hanover performed transorbital lobotomy) is the most disturbing psychological treatment related scene?

[@nothumanlol]

No the brain drill is worse

[@pistachiooo9033]

nothumanlol oh visually yess, but the sound of that ice pick hitting the skull is just..

[@thespqrguy]

Nah man, the boiling alive was definitely the worst

[@jazzjewel1]

The ice pick scene would have been the perfect entrance/segue for Sharon Stone; a la Basic Instinct...lol!!

[@radgrad63]

I dunno, Ep7 jumped the shark for me. But Sarah Paulson is stunning in the role.

[@philim9267]

SOPHIE'S PERFORMANCE!!! Iean, she deserves an Emmy for her first scene alone!

[@saywardporcher528]

Makes me want to rewatch it

[@ShondaBear18]

Go ahead girl! I did! 😂

[@ashleytucker9472]

Me too!

[@maggierappa417]

Can I just say. I love Finn Wittrock!!!

[@ladyredl3210]

He's so normal,which duh, he's an actor, but all I've seen him in is AHS so it's still weird lol.

[@music_addict_with_a_pen1397]

oh my god I can’t explain I’m in love with him

[@scikyasd]

I love this kind of interview when the interviewees are not just the actors of the film but also the production team😍

[@tamiresnogueira8694]

Id never get over Sophie’s acting, she really blew my mind!

[@CynnerLim]

I love how this show has a strong cast of powerful female actors, and then one main young male eye candy lol. Usually, it's the reverse for movies and series so far. Hahaha.

[@Mh-xe1zh]

Waiting for the Emmys and the Golden globes

[@belmasalkic4766]

the hot metal tub and ice scene is the most well-played scene. Sarah's acting gave me absolute goosebumps.

This is show is written perfectly, and the show is just perfect.

[@annjako7546]

Sophie is magnificent the whole cast is incredible Sarah Paulson dynamic

[@The_Irate_Penguin]

Almost an extension of the interior decoration and architecture from some decades earlier, the love for detail and period, the institutional chic set design, reminds me of the care that went into "Agatha Christie's Poirot"'s art nouveau extravaganza.

[@sharonmchugh7730]

Set was amazing, costumes amazing, acting was awesome

this is very well acted it will effect some of you that had an abusive childhood this may bring back bad feelings. I loved it

[@rogerbarrett1979]

I absolutely love Sarah Paulson more than words can say. She played Mildred Ratched so perfectly, just like she plays every other character. Mildred is one hot badass. And Sarah is sooo dreamy. 😻😻😻

[@KenMasters.]

I actually wanted the role of Ratched to go to Christina Hendricks, because she’s looks like the book version and the film version of the character combined.

[@JaneDoe-tm6px]

Brilliant all of it the set design to wardrobes and makeup and the cast they chose. I feel like everyone responsible for this being the show it is deserves an award ..this series for me personally has hit the nail on the head in every aspect not one single thing was overlooked or forgot this series is on fire and is on point the set design complents the actors and actresses and whomever chose these characters and who will play them wow they chose so fucking wisely every character was totally believed and every character was carefully chosen and they all need eachother not one is more important like there is one leading role and the rest are supporting because without them all being in a considerable as a suppoting role in my mimd this is one the one show I can think of right now.where every character choice of who they are and who would be casted to play them is on point they nailed it once again ...I can honestly say this series is on fleek and satisfies my mind's idea of who the character is and I believed every character as though that's who they really are .... brilliant minds came together here I'm sure ... my lord this is a trifecta of perfection I'm blown away every actor and actress deserves an award seriously I can't be the only one who is completely blown away and can't help but gush over this series and I don't watch tv unless it's real life stories I have a very hard time watching tv because I don't do fake it takes a special movie or series to keep my mind interested and wanting more this series though grabbed my attention first the title then the photo and her character as a matter of fact I had no clue she was a spinoff character from one flew over the coo Koos nest I never even seen it I googled nurse ratched and was blown away yet again that the brilliant minds that created this were somehow able to add another layer and more Depth to this already game changer on Netflix and damn I love nurse ratched she is so Unforgettable for me after this role she became nurse ratched she exudes her character without her saying a word just wearing the nurse uniform and her face was enough to convince me she is nurse ratched all of the characters and who played them perfect choice I feel like it's exactly what my mind would picture if this was a book man it all takes such Tallent......I'm a fan for life...... long live nurse ratched who knew you'd be cheering on the crazy nurse bet I am the only one who loves nurse ratched... not to many lovable bad guys out there most don't leave you cheering for the villain but yet somehow I find myself rooting for her takes a good bad guy to make you want to see the bad guy win .. For me anyhow I normally and most times you would hate the bad guy not find yourself cheering for them and I love this about the series another thought out long and hard aspect applied to the series it's usually a risk to glorify a villian but somehow I'm cheering for the bad.guy and even that was done with intent and I like the mind game I like how somehow the director had a vision of who this character is and was and they somehow found the right actresses to execute and deliver this character who is hard to love and hard not to love at the same time it's not easy to be so hard ass and such a bitch but deliver it all at the same time it's hard to be hard and soft in the same breath and be believable as that character like she somehow very clear that she doesn't take shit and is a hard ass but care for her all in the same day it's hard for real people to do this is in real life yet she has me concinved she is bat shit crazy and I should run the other way yet I'm kept coming back to her as though she is the victim how they did this is crazy only very few movie rolls had my mind torn I've naturally been drawn to the victim in movies or story telling but somehow I'm cheering on nurse ratched 😍 insert evil laugh 😂

I'm half way through, thoroughly enjoying all the different elements, especially the over the top colors, not a big fan of the sex scenes or the murder sounds, I can't stay away because the characters are intriguing. The one scene where everyone else was fainting/throwing up, there's Nurse Ratched staring intently, studying every little moment.

[@giasamuel7822]

There’s really not that many sexy scenes 3 at the most
