Hello, my darling readers!
Last year, Netflix dropped a new show called Ratched giving us an insight into Nurse Ratched’s life before we met her in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Let’s find out whether that was needed!
The Plot (according to Rotten Tomatoes):
From Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, RATCHED is a suspenseful drama series that tells the origin story of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched.
