and I am speaking as someone who has read it several times a year for 30+ years, so I'm quite familiar with the subject matter.

Margaret Atwood is working with the writers and producers of the show, so she is on board with the (well done, IMHO) modifications and updates.

Atwood appears in an episode at the Red Center as an Aunt, who slaps Offred for not promptly victim-blaming Janine.

Watch it and let us know what you think.
