Anyone watching The Handmaid's Tale on HULU?

You really really really need to check out this show.

1. Even if you have seen the series, you have to read the book too. Atwood is phenomenal.

4. Amazon has a free kindle edition for Prime Members

I'm going to read it soon!

6. Oh, great to know! And it's a great story that's weirdly relevant now thirty years after it was

written, but besides all that, the author has such an amazing way of writing. It's like she's using scalpels to bring up sense memories and things that we know are true but never looked at before in quite that way.

2. I'm waiting for more of the episodes to be released,

then I'll binge watch. Of course, my version of binge watching a series is to watch one episode a day until I've seen everything.

Currently I'm doing that with "Person of Interest". I've just completed season 1 and will be quite some time happily enjoying the next four or five or how many seasons there were.

3. Watched the first three, but now traveling. Won't be able to see

another episode for a month.

5. Really good.

Highly recommend.

7. No thanks. I read the book years ago.

Back when it was a work of FICTION.

8. Are there only 10 episodes this season?

9. Yes

A second season has been ordered.

I thought it was brutal and brilliant.
