Ratched (2020)
5/10
Flawed but can become addictive
26 September 2020
While visually appealing, the over-the-top presentation and obvious anachronisms require the viewer to do more than simply suspend disbelief for the duration. If you are sheltering in place, it can be an acceptable diversion.

Everyone will come away believing what they believed before
12 December 2019
The production is, essentially, one long YouTube session. Everything in it, from the discussions, to the events, has been posted on YouTube. Whatever the viewer believed before seeing this, will be exactly what that viewer believes coming away. No one will be persuaded or convinced of anything new, because there is no new material. It is an aggregate of what you have already seen. The only "surprises" for the unaware will be the number of times that Leftists are depicted agreeing with Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla, which will only reinforce the stereotypical statement that a stopped (analog) clock is right twice per day.

A drama, not history
12 June 2019
Remember, this is a dramatic interpretation of a historical event. Instead of using it as an authoritative reference, you should check the facts ... as in, the truth.

One Day at a Time (1975–1984)

Sort of okay (sort of) for the time
7 March 2019
We were bombarded, endlessly, with how difficult it was for a single mother (whose divorce was HER idea, as was revealed in several episodes) to raise two teens on a limited budget. However, when she (miraculously) acquires a six-figure job (and, think of the value of six figures in the 1970s), she STILL lived in the same rundown (or "budget") apartments, and still had to struggle to make ends meet. Sounds like the problem is not with "the system" or with men in general. Sounds like bad financial responsibility.
