Adapted from Margaret Atwood’s acclaimed novel, this is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly part of the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted religious fundamentalism that treats women as property of the state. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world.
Shows from past and present I've heard great things about and would like to try.....eventually
or
Shows Ive started and was really into but got bored so maybe i'll pick it up again later.
Some shows just have to be binge watched. Either their storylines are remarkably compelling or their cliffhangers too intense, these are my top picks to settle down with and watch all of the episodes!
There is a reason why most of these show were adapted; is the because they books were that good! if you have the time, read the books, you won't be disappointed.
