The book was pretty good.

Definitely the most buzzed about new show at the Television Critics Associations' Winter Tour. The director of the pilot received lots of praise.

Deadline:The drama series, based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what formerly was part of the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism regime that treats women as property of the state. 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 a devastated world.

Reed Morano is directing and executive produce the first three episodes of the 10-episode series, which is shooting Season 1 in Toronto for an April 26 premiere.

Elisabeth Moss as Offred
Samira Wiley as Moira

I am intrigued, and I hope they preserve the nuance of the book. The book is unfairly labelled is a radical feminist book; in fact, it is as much a withering critique of modern feminism as it is of conservative Christianity. In an age when extremes of both political sides may have brought ruin to America, this is as poignant as ever.

Captivating show. Beautiful visuals and great acting. Everything you want in a drama. This show will be taking the all the Emmy noms that Game of Thrones is missing out on this year.

Does anyone else watch this? Its a fascinating show. Dark, atmospheric film noir-ish cinematography, great acting, constant tension and a very interesting concept. At first I was like " this is a ridiculous concept, this would never ever happen." But then as the show goes on and unravels and shows you how things came to be you're like "f*** could this actually happen?!" Its kind of scary, really.

 

[lime]

The show is very strong. Monster performance by Elizabeth Moss.

Anyone knows when the trailer for season 2 will drop?

 

[kguillou]

It comes out in April so we probably won't get it until February or March.

 

[KevTravels]

Best show of 2017, but incredibly depressing and scary.

Can't wait for season 2

Finally! I'll probably binge it once it ends. Waiting week to week for this drove me crazy last season.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I finally watched the first three episodes and now I'm depressed all over again.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Anyone else watching season 3? I'm only on episode 9 but I'm finding myself extremely frustrated with how reckless June is being and I will never feel a shred of sympathy for Serena no matter how much the show wants me to.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

I am honestly loving how empowered June has become this season. Yeah she's being reckless as hell, but Elizabeth Moss is really killing it with her performance. The breathtakingly, gorgeous cinematography in this show deserves to be praised a lot more as well.

The cinematography is great this season, I just wish they'd stop with all the close ups.

I'm all caught up now. I enjoy June's empowerment but I wish she'd just sit back and listen. She should've known better with the entire Ofmatthew thing considering she talks about how walking partners are meant to spy in the first season.

I loved that I was just searching for something to watch and just decided to jump in this Cold knew nothing about it just that the secretary from Mad Men was the star and boy binged 2 seasons the past week

Agreed on June being so wreckless in season 3 opener I mean your new commander showed he is down for the cause and you still over step your boundaries she is has become frustrating
my girls are Emily and Janine

feel so bad for Luke at the moment I have no idea how he is suppose to feel having June's baby there knowing the circumstances that brought that child to life

looking forward to finishing season 3 this week

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Personally I think the series needs to end soon mainly because it is becoming repetitive.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah I don't see them dragging this show out for too long anyways. Maybe another two seasons max, although I could see them ending this with one more season as well. The writing this season had it's problems, especially when it came to June, but that finale was great.

yeah when she didn't go with Emily and her daughter I let out a come on man

 

[P Supreme]

Watched the new episodes and the show officially jumped the shark it should end with this seadon

Couldn't agree more. This show should've ended last season.

 

[P Supreme]

June should be dead plain and simple according to the rules they laid out in first season and the pregnancy reveal was just pure BS it needs to end

 

[Primal Slayer]

Episode 3 pissed me off. Hopefully the remainder of the season is good, but they definitely need an end date.
