The Handmaid Tale 9pm Sunday

I only recalled 'Then they came for me' .... google did the rest 

Well the first season is now over, yes I have found the series fascinating and thought provoking. It has, apparently, been very successful and a second season is to follow although this will extend beyond the written novel. Yes, I will pick this story up again when it airs.

I read some background on the net, the series was updated and approved by the author to reflect current ideas and situations. Margaret Atwood said that nothing in the book had not happened already in the world in some form or other and that this is more so now than when the book was written - terrifying.  The next series will go beyond the ending of the book so should be interesting.  (I've only just found this thread but watched the series and have read the book).

This series is winning awards galore. Hopefully the next series will be as interesting!

Anyone picking up on the second series? Must admit I found last week's episode much darker and, in parts, horrific with regards to the mental torture metered out to the Handmaids. Captivating viewing, mind!

I have recently seen trailers for S2 , looks like it may be even darker than the last, you can see it on youtube, but be warned
