Yep, can't wait! From what I can see from the reviews it really matches up to the book.

Yes I've been annoying the wife everytime the advert comes on by saying "I'm going to watch that"

Been a while since I read the book.

Yes - I'm looking forward to it! Last night was 12 Years a Slave - possibly something uplifting tomorrow!

VERY excited - loved, loved the book but hated the film.... This is supposed to be fab!

Yes. I'm not an Atwood fan but my DH and DM are devotees so I'm up for giving it a go. It's a 10 parter, isn't it?

I've not read the book since A Levels & loved it then! Never saw the film but heard it's not great.

Haven't seen the film either, maybe that was a lucky swerve?

I enjoyed the film but it had a lot of flaws

I bought the book (hasn't arrived yet), should I watch tonights episode or quickly read the book first then binge watch? What a dilemma

I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I read the book a couple of months ago and absolutely love it.

Really looking forward to it. Mentioned it to DH and he thought it was a period drama. Hmm, not quite!

I've not read the book. The adverts for the show have looked good. I do enjoy a good drama on a Sunday night.

County, I would read the book first. I won't post any spoilers but I've watched the first few episodes and it's very, very good, but I was glad I'd just finished the book because of the timeline and flashbacks differing slightly.

Waiting for all the episodes on catch up so I can binge. I'm to impatient to watch it week by week

YES, I too am in.

I loved, and have forgotten the detail of, the book.

Thanks theimpossiblegirl, I'll wait for the book then watch it.
