Ratched finds Murphy returning to the world of horror, psychological horror to be exact, with his own take on Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Not only that, but he’s brought American Horror Story staple — and one of the show’s longtime fan-favorite cast members — Sarah Paulson along with him. But, before you start your full-blown binge of the new series, we’ve put together a guide that breaks down everything you need to know about Murphy’s new show, including its original source material and the multiple adaptations that have stemmed from it over the years.
The Book That Started It All
It all began in 1962 with a novel written by Ken Kesey. Set in a psychiatric hospital in Oregon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is narrated by Chief Bromden, a patient at the hospital who pretends to be deaf and mute in order to fly under everyone’s radar. However, life at the hospital begins to change once a man named Randle McMurphy is admitted after faking insanity to avoid doing time at a prison work farm. He’s a rambunctious character that challenges the hospital’s way of life, especially disrupting the commanding atmosphere upheld by the head nurse, Nurse Ratched.

I'm binge watching this show. I don't want to but it has Vincent D'Onofrio and Sarah Paulson. They are both really good. There are actually a lot of good actors on this show. I usually don't watch this stuff; however, it's like a train wreck and I can't stop.
