The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu)

[captain yesterday]

First of all, great show! It definitely earned those Emmies.

At least according to the two episodes I've watched so far.

Anyone else feel that the commander's driver is a red herring.

I think the cook is the eye.

Good watching everyone!

Spoiler alert:

I saw this recently, and even though part of me said "don't watch!" the other part watched it anyway:

Thug Notes: Classic Literature, Original Gangster: The Handmaid's Tale = A Whack-Ass Future for Women

I hated this book. I read it in a freshman college creative writing class.

Hated it

I will not watch the televised adaptation

But I hear, from my daughter, that it's really good.

I have thankfully, never read the book.

I probably would've skipped it entirely but then they threw dystopian future in the description. :-)

The girl and I watched a couple episodes. Most of the time I was stuck fantasizing about what people like Wonder Woman or certain of my characters would do if introduced to Gilead. I dropped off but she binged the rest of the show and bought the book.

Three and a half episodes in.

They certainly aren't subtle with the all men are pigs angle.
