The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) #1 - “Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.”
 
The Handmaid's Tale



Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

kayrey 04-29-2017 05:11 AM

That gif!

I wish I could watch it already.

For anyone who has seen it, how dark is the show? From what I'm hearing it seems like it's quite a bit darker than the book.

MyLastDayWithoutYou 04-29-2017 06:05 AM

The show is heavy (rape, violence to women, ...)
It's handle well

kayrey 04-29-2017 07:06 AM

I was expecting all that because of the book and even the trailer itself is fairly heavy but
Spoiler:

heartღaflutter 04-29-2017 07:47 AM

I hope you catch it soon!
It's definitely dark!
With a nice twist at the end of episode 2 (if you haven't read the book I think ;)
