I’ve just heard that this will start in the US at the end of this month but Channel 4 haven’t said when they’ll start showing it yet.

And now an advert for Hoover showing the mum looking after the baby, cooking and doing the cleaning....

It just confused me when the other one asked what happened to her husband, it sounded to me like she was asking what punishment but I think I misunderstood.

JustLikeBefore · 27/05/2018 21:52

no it's like a pre poster said it's produced for the male gaze and mentality.

again pp mentioned the lack of men in this and it's women being mean to women, the men in it are are portrayed as good eggs.

The book was about the structures put in place, how and why and who pushed them.

This is just 'entertainment'.

I wonder if she had an affair with the driver? I'm hoping Emily might find the opportunity for her own escape, though it can't be a complete happy ending.

AHH I missed the fell in love bit.

In America now, children are being separated from their parents by ICE agents.

This is heartbreaking.

Magpie24 · 27/05/2018 22:01

I think this is maybe just a bit too horrible for me

Apileofballyhoo · 27/05/2018 22:02

The sex scene was annoying and unnecessary. Hate the scenes on the dark I can't figure out what's going on properly.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 27/05/2018 22:04

What are the darker blue ovals on the back of their coats in the colonies?

Soubriquet · 27/05/2018 22:05

I'm pretty surprised Emily killed the wife. Didn't expect that..

I guess they thought what could be worse when the aunt was screaming there would be consequences

Cherrypi · 27/05/2018 22:05

I thought that about the hoover advert too. Not seen an advert like that for a while. That a was a shocking twist. The airport scene was heartbreaking.

RedorBlack · 27/05/2018 22:06

I wonder what the Aunt did to end up there. It's not the cushiest of assignments!

TheSecondOfHerName · 27/05/2018 22:06

The darker blue ovals are also in the armpits so I think they might be vents for sweat to evaporate.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 27/05/2018 22:08

Oh wow, she found a laptop with Friends on it!! Smile

xsquared · 27/05/2018 22:10

She found the Friends DVD earlier, which was encrusted with dust.

Soubriquet · 27/05/2018 22:11

Maybe the aunts that get sent there are the ones who handmaids failed in pregnancy?

kalapattar · 27/05/2018 22:11

Praying?

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 27/05/2018 22:11

Ah thanks xsquared.

How the duck can she have any belief in ten existence of a god after what has been done to her world?

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 27/05/2018 22:12

DUCK?? I think not.

xsquared · 27/05/2018 22:13

I didn’t expect Emily to kill her either.
That was harrowing. Not keen on the sex scene either but dies that mean Nick will be found out because of the bite mark on his neck?

Magpie24 · 27/05/2018 22:14

I didn't think Emily would do that either.

CurbsideProphet · 27/05/2018 22:15

I worry that Nick will unintentionally lead them to June...

Where do you think the Colonies are? That barn they sleep in makes me think of Kansas but maybe that’s because there was a similar one in the Christopher Reeve Superman film.

"The laws changed, you haven't got the right documentation, your papers aren't in order'

How many people around the world hear that from officials?
