****From June to Offred: A 21st century slave tale!** **SEASON 01:**** I was not sure to give it a try, in the end I just went on. The reason was, another dystopian theme. It was a short season with the 10 episodes, and I've got a mixed feeling. It was based on the 30 year old novel of the same name. I mean 3 decades old source is very old in the present trend. Since that book there were plenty of films, series…

The Show is great! i will admit when my wife said i have a show we should watch i thought what is this? but after the first episode I was hooked. I recommend this show but it is quite confronting and if you have trouble with that type of thing it may not be for you.

Every now and then a production comes along that such an absolute gem, it has you lost for words. A Handmaids Tale, is based on the novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood . I have not yet read the book but if this series is anything to go by, it will, I'm sure, make its way into my collection very soon. On the surface the premise behind the series seems novel. Yet when you consider the fate of women in contem…

This is one messed up TV show; about a dystopian America ruled by a misogynistic government. Elizabeth Moss' performance though was pretty good.

**The Pornography of Violence** When The Handmaid’s Tale premiered, it felt like an absurd and alarmist dystopia, completely incomprehensible from a standpoint of rationality and common sense. Years later, we take a look at the state of the world, and the story they laid out has stopped being fu\*\*ing funny. The narrative pacing of the show feels deliberately slow; that sluggish build-up meant to create atmosp…

People are going to look back at the Censorship decade and think that this and Harry Potter are the only two books the cancel culture freaks read... ... and then realize that they were both adapted for the screen. This was good when they made it for HBO in the 1990s when it had an actual plot and was actually pro-Atwood. Only the people that made this turned on Atwood during #MeToo when she spoke out in favo…

Stupid liberal leftist show where conservative people are vilified as some monsters while those "innocent" leftist liberals are portraited as victims and funny thing is that in reality it's the opposite.

The Handmaid's Tale was an extraordinary series from start to finish; one of those productions that leaves a mark due to its rawness, its impeccable visual style, and its dystopian atmosphere, which is both captivating and terrifying. Its portrayal of the regime of Gilead and women's resistance keeps you on edge season after season. Janine is the heart of the story: Janine was what captivated me most about the…
