Handmaids tale - is it good?

[user1473602935]

Thinking about watching this as we've run out of things to watch but is it good? It sounds a bit depressing?

See?

It's excellent. Truly excellent.

Glad you're enjoying it OP. It think It's absolutely brilliant.

It's been my favourite book since I did it for A levels. The 90s film was a travesty but this series is so good I cannot rave enough. Faithful to the book but updated enough to make it modern, relevant and absolutely bloody terrifying.

There is already a wonderful thread about it.
Yes it is excellent.

Anyone any tips on how to get hold of episodes 1 and 2 please?!

You can buy them if you have Amazon Prime. It's £1.89 for SD, £2.49 if you want HD.

*per episode I mean.

Ah ok, thanks for that

Oh fgs, just gone to download episodes 3-7 on my Sky box; and was prepared to pay for episodes 1&2 on Prime. Channel 4 have now removed episode 3 from their download list Not prepared to pay for 3 x episodes so will have to miss out on this series this time around.
