Finally binge watching Handmaid's Tale. Very creepy to be watching in this political climate.

Written mid 80s, certainly dystopian - but my wife and I have been discussing how the rug could get swept out from under us and we'd end up in a similar pickle.

As I've been wondering since election night...who will the heroes be? Who will be the brave ones to get trump out and start to reverse all of the damage that's already been done?

we just finished episode 3....no spoilers, please (I didn't read the book...so this is all new to me!)

In the tv version they have added some scenes and swapped around some stuff.
It's ok just a little different.
