Thread for discussion of the Hulu adaptation of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale

i never got far into S3. premise too exhausting to me, better served by a two season series.

E5 takes a song that Tarantino completely wasted in Pulp Fiction and does it right.

Finished E7, so caught up. How sappy you find it (if there's a "you" left) will depend. I found it moving--I've been waiting almost since the beginning for something similar, probably the only reason other than inertia I've stuck around.

I'm almost caught up--two episodes left in S5--and I've found this a much more satisfying watch than a lot of you apparently did. The relationship between June and Serena has evolved in interesting directions over the course of the series.

I'm finally reading The Testaments so no spoilers please but I'm curious as to how the TV show was written with some of the plot points I've read so far (that weren't in The Handmaid's Tale book)? e.g. baby Nicole. Did Margaret Attwood direct the story for the tv show or was The Testaments out before the later seasons of the tv show was written? I can't remember when each came out.

Haven't read the book, so I don't know, but your revive reminded me to check on S6; with the strike, now pushed back to next year.

Our third-last episode of a four-year project: pop music in Mr. Robot, Atlanta, The Handmaid's Tale, Velvet Goldmine, and Georgy Girl. (A mixed bag, yes.)

Lots of competition, but this one has my favourite zone-out in a series filled with them (and why I'm posting here): where I grope around trying to remember the term for the women in The Handmaid's Tale who are held captive and impregnated.
