After getting really into the first few series,it was so different and shocking that couldn't wait for the latest episodes to start on E4.
However, although it's still an eye opener it's now having unsettling affect & depressed afterwards.
Anyone else? |

We watch the first series after reading the book and gave up. Modern TV shows are incredibly well made for the most part, well acted etc but there too bleak and depressing. See also succession, just a group of horrible people being increasingly awful.
Need some 80s and 90s nonsense mixed in to add some levity  |

Season 1 was excellent, a good representation of the book, and said pretty much all it needed to say in terms of how right wing religious societies treat women, whether that some of the current Middle Eastern states or the way that Trumps America was heading at the time, but season 2 onwards then wasn’t part of Margaret Atwood original story and felt more and more as though the repression and violence towards women was entirely designed to enrage viewers, which it did for me, So I gave up watching it after the second season. I’m aware that Atwood has recently written a sequel, The Testaments, but I haven’t read it yet. |

Is it more true to life events now? |
