Ratched
Netflix have released the first official trailer for their upcoming drama series Ratched.
From the creator of American Horror Story, and starring Sarah Paulson, this show is bound to be a massive success.
This eight episode series tells the origin story of one the world’s most iconic characters, Nurse Ratched.
Set in 1947, Mildred Ratched arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital.
Here, doctors and nurses are conducting unsettling experiments on the human mind.
The description reads, 'On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be.'
In the trailer she's heard saying, "We had a saying in the corp; save one life and you're a hero."
She added, "Save a hundred lives, well then you're a nurse."
As she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, the darkness inside her shines through.
This is something that has, 'long been smoldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born.'
