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]

Yesss

[@ceciliaallen7166]

she gives me gillian anderson vibes in this show

[@sarai373]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 !

[@julianka221]

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.

[@scikyasd]

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

[@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!

[@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]

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

[@belmasalkic4766]

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

[@kaylagorham8125]

If Sophie Okonedo’s performance does not get an award of some sort, there will be Hell to pay 💰

[@temitopeomoks6766]

Waiting for the Emmys and the Golden globes

[@sandye6775]

This series is a visual roller coaster, I’m hooooked

[@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.

[@amieofrain1804]

JONJON BRIONES’ PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL HERE i’m sad he wasn’t featured here!!

[@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.

[@ladydesireedawnregacho7630]

Finn looks much more younger in Ratched. Woah hahah

[@angellopolys2494]

2:05 - 2:16 Yup, that wink was BEAUTIFUL. I just smiled during that scene.

[@justelleslife507]

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.

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