"Ratched" Review - Kill in Silence

"There is no spoiler for the series"

Today we have a series that combines psychological drama, horror and suspense. When murder turns into a means of entertainment, and when the killer follows the psychological obsession, then anything can happen.

This is a Netflix series created by Evan Romansky and developed by Ryan Murphy. Starring Sarah Paulson in 8 episodes, he was able to present us with a new story, although it is strong enough, but the presence of an actress of the size of Sarah Paulson was able to add great strength to the series.

Before we go into the review, we have a set of questions that we discuss in our reference:
Did the series rise to the world?
Has the series made strong gains?
Is the series free from defects?

The story

The story of the series begins with something mysterious and vague, which is the killing of 4 priests?
Yes, a person with mental illness begins killing four priests, and here he is not led directly to prison or to the gallows.

Indeed, she is accepted to work there, our heroine, Mildred Reached, who works as a nurse, and here the events of the series begin inside the clinic, but the question remains here, which we will know throughout the events of the series, why did Mildred Richead want to work in this clinic?
How will her relationship with the workers there develop and how will she get to know them? This is what we will know during the events of the interesting series.
I do not want to tell more than that so as not to spoil the events on you.

Impression

Perhaps this series does not live up to the greatness of many of the series on the scene, but it is not the best thing or the worst thing, the series in general tells us a slightly interesting story, but we still have a lot of negatives.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this series is that it tells a story in the middle of the last century, which is what the producers excel in using the wonderful classic atmosphere of costumes, lighting and decorations.
And an old nursing uniform that resembles WWII nurses' uniforms and a great soundtrack that highlights the spirit of crime and classic thriller.

This is perhaps the best thing in the series at all, followed by the performance of the actors, led by the genius Sarah Paulson, who added fun and excitement to the series, as she was able to use her role in the series in a great way.
The rest of the actors performed very well, but perhaps there are some people who were wronged by focusing on characters versus others, but in general the actors gave us a wonderful and attractive performance.

Negatives

Despite all that we have mentioned, there are still some negatives that we must stand on, as the dramatic work is not complete and the story was not that strong in terms of events and their development, there was better than that to present it to us for sure.

Even a lot of the time in the series you get really bored except for times of crime, runaway and planning.

The dialogue between the characters was also weak, and the scenario should have been much stronger than that, but it was a waste of time in many times.

It was necessary for the series to take advantage of the events that they are inside a psychiatric hospital and focus on the psychological aspect more, but all the focus was on the crimes only, however, the series neglected many of the many details, for example there are characters who disappear without knowing the reason and events that mix with each other and were not in The purpose of coordination.

"Ratched" is a reasonable series that you can watch one episode of daily, but it is not the series that attracts you until you finish it in one day.
Perhaps it would have been better to have a movie made that would have been much better, but in any case the series remains good.

My evaluation of the series ... (7/10)

exactly. I was bored so frequently in this series that i gave up pretty early on. I still saved it for when I have nothing else to do but I would give this one a "don't bother" rating myself.
