The Handmaid’S Tale

Is anyone else watching this superb but breathtakingly chilling series based on a Margaret Atwood novel?

For me, first class television. Your thoughts?

I watched Ep1 last night and realised I had started watching it when it was first on, up to the point where she got caught, her child snatched off her and she was bundled into a vehicle. Then I switched off as it gave me a feeling of dread and I didn't like it. And as I watched again last night, I felt the same; it was inexorably bleak, but gripping. I'll watch Ep2 sometime today.

Watched Ep2 & 3 now. I agree, it's breathtakingly chilling.
