The Handmaid’s Tale
Does anyone watch this? I have a free month’s subscription to Hulu and watched the first three episodes. I loved it! The main character has flashbacks and remembers how things gradually happened and changed. Very timely—kind of like with The Americans and the current Russian connection.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
I read the book when it first came out 30 years ago and was terrified by it. I reread it recently and was terrified all over again, because it really could happen here. Thus, I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the show, although I've heard it's really well done.
I know a little about a lot of things...just enough to make me dangerous.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
FinallyFree!! I love this show!! We are on season 2, have about two episodes to go. I will be very careful not to post any spoilers.
Yes, I agree.....if some had their way, Gilead could happen.
And I watch The Americans too, but haven't watched lately because of the pay-per-view. It is very timely.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
I am up to episode 9 of the first season. It is very good, but dark and disturbing.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
I just started watching it recently. Definitely gives you an uneasy feeling, even though it's very well done. I just got through the episode where she finds out what the Latin in her closet means.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
Still waiting for S2 E13. Has it actually been released on Hulu yet? I have seen conflicting information. I am ready to finish S2!!!
