I was trying to explain it to DH but I did not quite have the right words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734843 Thu, 11 May 2017 18:08:08 +0000 tinyperson 2734843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the book many years ago -- and the adaptation is really good, but so dark and eerie. So easy to see how things can slide quickly enough that there's nothing you can do, but also slowly enough so no one really notices until it's too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734835 Thu, 11 May 2017 17:25:35 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2734835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's good, but intense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734830 Thu, 11 May 2017 17:16:53 +0000 Anya 2734830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the book years ago but can't bring myself to watch the series yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734827 Thu, 11 May 2017 17:13:09 +0000 meredithNYC 2734827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the book, but I read it years ahead of the Trump regime coming to power. Now it feels too close for comfort and I'm not sure whether my anxiety can handle the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734794 Thu, 11 May 2017 16:04:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2734794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't watched it yet because I don't think I can handle it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734790 Thu, 11 May 2017 16:01:34 +0000 youboots 2734790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MissGemini: yes I agree. It's a bit chilling how relevant it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734788 Thu, 11 May 2017 15:53:24 +0000 MissGemini 2734788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's SO well done, and so perfectly timed for 2017 (imo) but definitely very dark. And with these pregnancy hormones I'm experiencing I can only watch in small doses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734785 Thu, 11 May 2017 15:47:47 +0000 youboots 2734785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @lawbee11: I'm also watching it on Hulu. I love post apocalyptic anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734777 Thu, 11 May 2017 15:41:09 +0000 lawbee11 2734777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've watched the first two episodes. Elisabeth Moss is incredible. But I just can't binge it...it's too fucked up! Need to give myself time to recover between episodes lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734776 Thu, 11 May 2017 15:40:09 +0000 Andrea 2734776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I subscribed to Hulu just so I could watch it. Elisabeth Moss is the lead and she is excellent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-handmaids-tale#post-2734769 Thu, 11 May 2017 15:37:11 +0000 youboots 2734769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is anyone watching it on Hulu?</p> <p>I was so intrigued I just finished listening to the original book on audible.</p> <p>What a trip. Claire Danes was the narrator and I think she would have been a very good lead for the show. </p>
