The Handmaid's Tale - Hulu Original (Spoilers)

I wonder if people who read the book first time after watching the series are destined to be disappointed?

The book is brilliant in my opinion - one of my favourite books ever (ditto Oryx & Crake by the same author - another disturbing vision of the future) but the television series does flesh it out an enormous amount (including adding brand new bits) so my suspicion is that those who read the book may wonder "Why didn't A and B happen?"

It was a big winner at the TCA Awards last night.

How do I see this? I believe C4 showed it recently but does not show up under catchup?

Surreptitious · 07-09-2017 02:41AM

Wow, what an ending. I will admit to the odd tear

It's been too long now I'd say for catch up.

Well it deservingly won all the big awards at the Emmys last night and Hulu also became the first streaming site to win best drama award.

I read the book and while it is fantastic, I think the series does a better job as it really gives a great insight into the foundation of Gilead.

Anti Trump leftist hysteria.

I like the way it's a Christian theocracy - yeah cos that's most likely gonna happen isn't it ?

F*ck off Hollywood - no one believes your nonsense anymore.

First teaser pic's

Absolute top quality TV, but then again it stars the best actress working in TV right now Elizabeth Moss. I haven't read the book or followed any discussions so don't know any theories, but I think the next big step would be to have the religious nuts to attack and occupy Canada. Blessed Day.

Really looking forwards to the next season having read the book! The first series deviated from the book in a few ways but it was excellent. Didn't leave anything out. Very excited to see where it goes now. The ending of the book left this reader hungry for more.

DMcL1971 · 14-01-2018 09:27PM

Season 2 will start broadcast on Hulu on April 25th. 13 episodes in total. Two will be broadcast the first night and then one a week from then on.

Pay back for the war of 1812.
