The Handmaid's Tale Review

The Handmaid's Tale is a gripping and haunting portrayal of a dystopian world that has become a nightmare for women. The series presents a terrifying vision of a society where women's bodies are commodified, their reproductive capacities reduced to a mere function of the state, and their agency eliminated. The story centers around June, played by Elizabeth Moss, a woman forced into becoming a handmaid, a concubine to a high-ranking Gileadan official and his wife, whose sole purpose is to bear children for them. The show's themes of female subjugation, misogyny, and oppression are disturbingly relevant, especially in light of ongoing global conversations about reproductive rights, gender inequality, and the rise of authoritarian regimes. The show's exceptional writing, acting, and cinematography draw the audience into a world where hope is hard to come by, and danger lurks around every corner. The Handmaid's Tale is a compelling and thought-provoking series that explores complex issues of power, resistance, and identity, reminding us of the importance of fighting for our rights and freedoms. The show has won numerous awards, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, and is a must-watch for anyone interested in thought-provoking, socially conscious television.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Margaret Atwood, the source novel's author, makes a cameo as an Aunt in Offred (S1E1). She is the one who slaps June when she is reluctant to join in the group shaming circle.

Joseph Fiennes said that his wife does not watch the show, knowing the disturbing nature of Commander Waterford's character.

The actresses have said that the head coverings they wear when they go outside are like blinders, completely cutting off their peripheral vision. The actresses can't see each other unless they're looking directly at each other. They have to act largely based on what they can hear.

Margaret Atwood has said that she was greatly inspired by George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, "1984".

In an April 2018 interview with "Salon" writer Mary Elizabeth Williams, Amanda Brugel (Rita) said that as the self-described "lone Canadian in the cast," the book changed her life long before she won a role in the show. She was assigned Margaret Atwood's novel as a 15-year-old high school student and subsequently wrote some short stories based on it. Later she wrote her university application thesis on the novel and received a full scholarship on that basis. Brugel said that the main focus of that university application essay was Rita, the character she now plays on the show.
