What is it?
The story comes from the homonymous novel by the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood (Booker Prize and Prince of Asturias Award) , and refers us to a dystopian society, with serious problems of fertility due to pollution. In an absolutely polarized society , being a member of the female sex and not being part of the elite, has as a consequence (in the best of cases) a life deprived of freedom. That "best case" is for the fertile woman.
Those women who still have the capacity to father children, will be identified, persecuted and hunted, in order to "educate" them to live in this new world, where their only reason for being is to procreate: they are objects that high-level marriages use to produce heirs and preserve the human class, this being considered "a sacred act" by society. Out of the above, all the rights that these Handmaids (or Maids) could have come to have in their past, were completely abolished by a dictatorship that relies on religion to justify its means.
The storyteller of this thewatchseries story is June Osborne (wonderfully interpreted by Elisabeth Moss), who is making us aware of the current situation of the country that was once the United States, while constantly expressing his contempt for this system (as we do the spectators in front of the screen). June, like all the Maids, is stripped of her identity after they capture her daughter, shoot her husband and take her captive to start her new routine: her name is now Offred, and her life alone is worth what she can do bloom in your belly. But she will not stay with her arms crossed.
Why watch The Handmaid's Tale?
If only reading the name of the former Peggy Olson did not give you an incentive, I present the rest of the cast: Alexis Bledel , star of Gilmore Girls , Samira Wiley ( Orange is the New Black ), Yvonne Strahovski ( Dexter ) and Joseph Fiennes . While the acting rod of the entire cast lies high, the first two named give us exquisite characters and even managed to steal a little screen to the protagonist. Watch complete thewatchseries The Handmaids Tale Tv show in HD print without any registration.
The Handmaid's Tale (best Black Mirror style)) manages to make a perfect critique of today's society from a very (very?) distant reality, where the woman is seen as a mere object, constantly being devalued, tortured and violated, with no right or decision on herself. Religion and "God's will" was distorted and manipulated to justify changes within a society in crisis and threatened by terrorists, taking the pre-existing patriarchy to the highest possible point. But of course there will be rebellion and winds of revolution among the ranks of red layers: there is a war going on south of the country, and the resistance groups use all their resources to break through. That's where little by little we see the main figures confront and say NO to this twisted reality.
