Sarah (126 KP) rated The Handmaid's Tale - Season 1 in TV
Jul 25, 2018
From the first episode, I've been completely hooked. Each installment reveals a little more of how the climate has changed and the situation that the characters find themself in has arisen - and yet, they don't seem to take the usual form of viewer insulting flashback or "so, what you're saying is" exposition. Even more so is the sense of how (especially if you have any idea of how the Nazis came to power in Germany) this could, in fact, happen.
My biggest criticism - I *really* dislike "the husband", Luke. He cheats on his first wife, and in his courtship of his mistress/second wife he just comes across as an utter sleazebag.
