Handmaid’s tale went completely off piste vs the original book. The film starring Miranda Richardson was far closer to the story (albeit romanticized by Hollywood). The series was just silly in some of the artistic licence.
You have to wonder how much art influences life though, it seems to have spawned a disturbing movement to make oppressing women more fashionable.
On a separate topic Netflix is now talking about increasing their tariffs. Is it worth staying with them full time or dipping in and out when something good is launched?
In my desperate search for a new series to follow I have started “Lost” however the apparent supernatural element (??) might make me stop. I have only watched the first episode so not sure whether the basic story can sustain long term viewing.
Has anybody else watched this?
I still have your recommendations above up my sleeve
@Bruce , I’ve seen this, all the series. I recommend it, it’s a well-made series, very good interpretation, excellent direction,even though there were times when it was really getting out of hand. The storyline may seem absurd,I must admit that at the beginning, I nearly gave up, thinking it was just too crazy to watch, but then I got hooked! I’m actually thinking of seeing it again. It remains one of my favourites. I don’t usually go for “weird stuff” , this is an exception for me, so if I enjoyed it, anyone will. It really “gets” you, if you know what I mean. It was like reading a book and not being able to put it down, I couldn’t wait for the next episode, I watched 2 at a time and had to limit myself from binge watching.
I am also watching Black Doves.
I finished the thrillers “full me once” which I loved and “the black list”.
Also watched Parenthood which I really enjoyed.
I have just started the second series of Night Agent, if nothing else the first 10 minutes were packed full of action. I remember enjoying the first series.
I’m watching this too, I’ve reached the third season, yes, it’s a light,comfort tv series to watch before bedtime. I’m also enjoying Parenthood, I’m really hooked on this one now. I often binge-watch.
