The Handmaid's Tale

I loved it! Can't wait for the next episodes.

Scarier than many horror movies nowadays! Amazing does not describe the greatness of this piece! It is almost unbelievable that is inspired by a book of '85! Can't wait for season two!

This show is one of the best shows I've seen. Absolutely loved it.
The script is amazing, and the acting is totally on point. I could almost feel like I was living the story.
Can't wait for the next season

The story is dark and bleak and frankly scary in the context of this administration but casting is superb and direction keeps it tight and intense - best series of the year for me.

It is taking everything in me not to start Season 4!!!! I refuse to wait for new episodes though... I’m not watching until I can binge the whole thing!!!!!! This will be hard Lol

One of my favorite shows of all time. I love these dystopian plots, especially ones like this that are extra dark and syndical. This follows the US in the future where a radical religious group has taken over the US government in a time where the amount of new borns being born is way down so people are put into different factions almost manor type from the medieval age. More importantly it follows a woman in the midst of it who slowly becomes the leader of the revolt. It starts off slow, but quickly becomes up beat and more violence and action take place. The plot buildup, twists and character development is incredible. The acting, especially from the lead actress is phenomenal.

I read the book that this show is based on sometime ago and I remember absolutely hating it. It was so boring and I just couldn't care for the characters.

When it comes to the show those things could not be more wrong. This show has a cast of compelling characters and storylines. It can make you invested, though slightly weirded out in places. To see Aunt Lydia's character redemption was truly amazing, the same can be said for Serena. Casting Elizabeth Moss as June was such an amazing decision as she truly shined and I think going forward I will always see her as the handmaid turned hero that this show helped her become.

I will forever be recommending this to people, I can't wait for the sixth and final season when that comes out.

Great series, I just finished watching season 4 and it's amazing how June evolves throughout the series. Waiting for the fifth season. Highly recommended.

As Im seeing in comments, most of the people who have watched The Handmaid's Tale, have not read the book. Because if they had read, they would not find the serie slow and boring to watch. Most of the events in the book takes place earlier in the serie. Also, I want to say that I find the serie as one of the most accurate and successful book adaptation. The story is sad even more, tragic and terrifying but still very engrossing, at least in my opinion. The cinematography and the selection of the soundtracks are somewhat magnificient and well-fitting. It is a feminist dystopian story. I suggest that you should first read the book. If you like 1984, Brave New World, Hunger Games, Divergent or similar dystopian topics, I think you would like it. But I should also warn you, the story is uncanny and disgusting yet thought-provoking and something that might happen in the future. Ahh, I also forgot to mention Persepolis. If you liked it, I strongly believe that you would also love that book/ animation.

A terrifying vision of an incredible story. Brilliantly filmed and awesome characters and plotline.
