I Love Hulu

I REALLY wanted to like Handmaid's Tale. I really did. I hated the book because of the style it was written in and how it took a solid concept and character and then made them in to the equivalent of a child going emo to scare their parents for not getting their own way.

But the show is VERY well acted and actually scores better than the book itself. But this season...this season is turning in to the book as far as the whiney hit-you-over-the-head feeling of things rather than focusing on the plot.

I can't bring myself to watch it. I would be too upset.
@Doomflower It's actually well done for the most part. Just season 2 has a feel that was different than 1 and not in the good way.

I felt the same way, but then I started watching and I was just sucked in. Yes, the idea behind the story is very disturbing. But the show is definitely not boring, I can tell you that. @Doomflower
