Oh, please.


The irony is that your eye roll,is why some are saying this show is so powerful right now. The story is about a society of people like yourself who ignored what was happening.

I loved the first three episodes. The beginning of the third with her description of how it happened was haunting.


Is there something going on that we should know about? Have reproductive rights been rolled back? Is abortion now illegal? Please enlighten us as to what we've been "ignoring." Thanks so much.

I'm sure it's all fine, though.

I've lost respect for Elisabeth Moss after reading she is a Scientologist. Yuck

I'm surprised to hear it's renewed for season 2. It's wonderful, but is sure to take drastic turns from the book.

Yeah, I don't think I can watch...it is just a little too close to home right now.


The book was written in 1984, people have been saying "it's too close to home" for over 30 years! Don't be so dramatic FFS.

Just more fodder for the melodramatic. I loved the book and the original movie, and the series is looking good too. But I don't lie awake at night, quaking with fear because all of a sudden, it feels more possible than ever. How absurd. Honestly, is hand-wringing a sport among so many on DCUM?

Yes it's a replacement for cable. New episodes are released each week for shows currently on network tv.


Good to know, thanks PP. I will go on later and see if they carry the stuff I watch -- shows on ABC, Bravo, and Lifetime. Seems like I could shave my cable bill in half!

Maybe it's a way to get subscribers to try the channel and stay on. If they could get a free month and binge watch the show they could then cancel membership when done. This way they are more likely to stay on as members. At least for a few more oknths.

Free


Only for 30 days, and you need a credit card to sign up. Then it goes to the 7.99 or 11.99 per month.

In order to watch all of the Handmaids Tale in the free period, you will need to wait for all the episodes to be released.

You need Hulu. There are two types: with commercials ($7.99 per month), and without (11.99).
