The Handmaid's Tale: Season One [Blu-ray]

This series is not for the faint, but if you love drama, you will love this. Great price at Best Buy! Buy!

Im usually not a drama fan but this has that "how on eart did it come to that" factor and is so disturbing on multiple levels, tgat i binge watched the first 2 seasons in 4 days. Mature themes.

This chilling tale is brought to life with the actor's portrayal of life for fertile unmarried women. The government has decided what women may do with their bodies and as their work. Their names are based on the man they've been "matched" with, in this case Offred. Strange and slightly prophetic in part.

Very well acted and directed TV series. This first season left me feeling a little depressed, but that's to be expected once the subject matter is known. Recommended!

I love this show, it's a great adaptation of the book. I prefer the movie from the early 90s myself because that was a straightforward adaptation of the book whereas this show takes alot of liberties with the source material and continues where the book left off.

Season one retells the book right up to the final scene in Gilead (though it doesn't include the epilogue). Aside from the fact that the Republic of Gilead isn't racist (a concession made in order to have a more racially diverse cast), it's a pretty faithful adaptation and, overall. a more enjoyable watch than the movie that came out a number of years back.

What can i say... OMG.. i can really see this happening one day the way things are going.. I hope not because this is horrific !!! I watch award shows and seen this take them over and win many plus actor awards.. So i decided to see what the Hype.. I AM NOW ADDICTED and you can't stop watching. I binge watched first season. Thank god the second was already out. BEWARE: you will be glued to tv for hours. lol

Amazing how relevant this 1980's novel is in Trump's America! The series is in my opinion better than any theatrical film released to cinemas in 2018. The attention to detail, the cinema photography, the sets, but above all the acting of Moss, Fiennes, Strahovski, and Dowd is just incredible! You will be hooked immediately!
