The Handmaid's Tale

[CruCru]

I really want to watch this but all I can find is that it is showing on a channel called "Hulu" in the UK.

Do any of you have Netflix / Amazon / Virgin? If so, have you seen this? I know that I could subscribe to Hulu as well but I feel as though I have enough television providers.

I'd love to see this too

Already a thread here : (sorry can't do links at the moment) www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2905226-The-Handmaids-Tale-New-TV-adaptation

No known way of legally watching outside of the US in Hulu has been announced yet, which i find odd. i suspect Hulu will use itbtomlaunch a Euro service? You can't even watch Hulu outside of the US legally at the moment, though it's easily done.

Ah, thank you. I think that thread must have fallen off the front page.

Yes, it is super irritating. I'm hoping that either Netflix or Amazon will buy it from Hulu.

I liked the book. Well I say like, its a chilling view of a possible near future but would definitely watch the adaption. I remember there was a film made in the 80's or 90's too.

The film was pretty dire i think but the trailers for this look great, has some great actors in it. I have high hopes, though it does disturb me somewhat that the issues covered in the book are even more pertinent now as when i first read it as a budding teenage feminist back in the eighties. depressing really.

Interesting article, really hope it's good!

Ooooo. I wonder if I can use Kodi to watch it.

It is on Kodi but it took me a while to get a working stream.

Actually I'm not sure I can bear to watch it. I haven't read the book since I had my son, and the whole thing is a lot more upsetting as a mum.

Just watched episode one, do you think we should start a new thread with US pace in the title so we can discuss it and not get people complaining about spoilers?

I was gonna post this when I saw it was in production, I thought MN would live a good old Handmaiden

There's a thing in the Radio Times about how this isn't available in the UK yet.
