I'm trying to find good shows to watch, I'm sick of same old stuff on Netflix.
So The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian drama, it takes place in Gilead (Formerly United States).
So its a totally authoritarian state, where women do not have any rights at all because they are considered to be inferior to men, when I say no rights I meant it they cannot read, access computers or own property.
So the world is going through a fertility crises wherein only a few women have the ability to bear a child, of which chances of successful births are not that great.
So all the women who can concive are the handmaid's, they are allotted to a commander and when they give birth to his child, they are moved to another.
It's a story of one such handmaid fighting this Regime.
Trust me this show is so impactful that you cannot dislike it.
I would definitely say it is quite slow in the begining but when it picks up the pace it's great AF!
