Sorry for any spelling errors - super fatigued
I loved this series despite some holidays from it! (Well, in a sometimes dark world - even darker is either more depressing it can help make you more appreciative!)
I started it, I got distracted. I came back to it, it was too depressing and no one else wanted to watch it with me. Fast forward now I’m at things in my life do I uncontrollable I was suddenly tempted back as a recent piece of writing had been inspired by the writing of Margaret Atwood. I was intrigued as to how the writers and director would take the story forward in an way, which would continue to hold the attention of the audience, despite the depressing oppressive, subject matter, which, although dystopian has many frightening similarities to things in our current society. At the end of the day, it was the empathy created for the characters and their journey that really helped keep the attention of the watcher. I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone who is interested in politics, the role of religion in society, the socio-economic impact of policy decisions, alongside the strength of women in patriarchal societies. Friendship was beautifully depicted against all odds, and although it ended in a way which was reasonably satisfying, I would still be interested in the continuing story of the heroine and her associates.
