One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is one of the best films ever made. It’s full of detailed characters and dense thematic elements. This “origin story” is an absolute joke. Ratched isn’t a character as much as she is a symbol for the indifference of the American mental health system. No tragic backstory, no trauma, just trained perfectly by the system. Having an entire tv show dedicated to individualising her traits is a complete misunderstanding of what One Flew… was trying to do. Ridiculous series.
