Seasons
Season 1
Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – with one goal: to survive and find the daughter who was taken from her.
Season 2
Season two is shaped by Offred’s pregnancy and her ongoing fight to free her future child from the dystopian horrors of Gilead. “Gilead is within you” is a favorite saying of Aunt Lydia and in this season, Offred and all our characters will fight against – or succumb to – this dark truth.
Season 3
Season three is driven by June's resistance to the dystopian regime of Gilead and her struggle to strike back against overwhelming odds. Startling reunions, betrayals, and a journey to the terrifying heart of Gilead force all characters to take a stand, guided by one defiant prayer: "Blessed be the fight."
Season 4
June strikes back against Gilead as a fierce rebel leader, but the risks she takes bring unexpected and dangerous new challenges. Her quest for justice and revenge threatens to consume her and destroy her most cherished relationships.
Season 5
June faces consequences for killing Commander Waterford while struggling to redefine her identity and purpose. The widowed Serena attempts to raise her profile in Toronto as Gilead’s influence creeps into Canada. Commander Lawrence works with Nick and Aunt Lydia as he tries to reform Gilead and rise in power. June, Luke and Moira fight Gilead from a distance as they continue their mission to save and reunite with Hannah.
Season 6
June's unyielding spirit and determination pull her back into the fight to take down Gilead. Luke and Moira join the resistance. Serena tries to reform Gilead while Commander Lawrence and Aunt Lydia reckon with what they have wrought, and Nick faces challenging tests of character. This final chapter of June's journey highlights the importance of hope, courage, solidarity, and resilience in the pursuit of justice and freedom.

Stupid liberal leftist show where conservative people are vilified as some monsters while those "innocent" leftist liberals are portraited as victims and funny thing is that in reality it's the opposite.

People are going to look back at the Censorship decade and think that this and Harry Potter are the only two books the cancel culture freaks read...
... and then realize that they were both adapted for the screen.
This was good when they made it for HBO in the 1990s when it had an actual plot and was actually pro-Atwood.
Only the people that made this turned on Atwood during #MeToo when she spoke out in favor of Due Process and then it slowly started to distance itself from her IP... as it became more and more in your face political.
And that is when things like this lose me.

This is one messed up TV show; about a dystopian America ruled by a misogynistic government.
Elizabeth Moss' performance though was pretty good.
While I don't condone the mistreatment of women in the series, I do praise it for popularity nonetheless.
I wonder what the conclusion of the show will be like?
