The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) (movie, show, character, favorite)

I just can't stop thinking about this show. It really makes you think. The crazy thing is that it's not that far fetched.

Which is why it's more terrifying than a horror movie!

When I first heard of the plot I thought "no way". But now that I think about it, we already went through this in the past. Slavery. Jim Crow. Apartheid. NAZI Germany. Inquisition . Trail of tears. Salem witch trials. The friggan Taliban. The polygamists . Im sure I left some fundamentalist group or ideology out. Scary stuff. I want to see how Gilead came about?

Yes, there is already a thread on it, is why you're not seeing any replies.

What's the thread called? I searched for it and couldn't find anything?

That's a good question. I went to copy the link and paste it here but can't find it.

I'm still looking and looking. It's weird. The show is Hot right now. Lots of press. I can't understand why the thread would be buried.

Maybe it got too political? I am only guessing.

I can't even find a locked thread... Well. Who is your favorite character ? I really like the acting by the woman who plays Aunt Lydia. Her scenes are my favorites. She is like the villian I love to hate. The Agent Smith to the Matrix.
