This show isn’t for the faint of heart. Also if you like to see big explosions this probably isn’t for you. It’s slow and amazing but also nerve wrecking and emotionally crushing. There’s alot of “WTF” did i just watch moments that leaves you petrified if not emotionally scarred. After much cajoling and convincing my girlfriend to give it a try, she still couldn’t survive beyond episode 2 of season 1. I found new appreciation for freedom of choice as a woman after watching this.

I know this is fictional and it happens in a dystopian society but if given the conditions and our reality does present the same problems there would be people who would actively advocate for the implementation of the same solutions as Gilead did.
Giving this show 5/5 rating doesn’t even come close to what it truly deserves.
