Ratched: Ice Pick (2020)
Season 1, Episode 2
8/10
A very strong second episode.
20 September 2020
Nurse Ratched makes the reasons for her behaviour known, explaining why she's there, and showing there are no limits, she's willing to anything to achieve her goal.

I enjoyed this one just as much as the first, it's very character driven, it's creepy, and so stylish.

That institution is bleak, so much barbarity, dressed up with crisp uniforms and beautifully decorated offices. Horror fans seem to love a lobotomy, it was obviously going to feature, but despite being quite graphic, it seemed to serve to develop the story.

A definite homoerotic vibe here, makes a change for it to come from a slightly more mature cast, it's in keeping with the story. We are unsure if Ratched is interested one way or the other, one thing seems certain, she's prepared to do anything to get what she wants.

Interesting that they went for the same theme music as Jonathan Creek, I suppose there is a bit of magic here, so why not.

Am hooked, 8/10.
