The Handmaid's Tale

I'd just got done watching the first episode... and wow.

I don't remember the book at all, and Mrs. Betty Bills would frown at that, but I'm glad they have this adaptation available on a platform I've come to love dearly, Hulu.

It's incredibly intense. I love intense shows, and the majority of what I watch is pretty serious, but generally even the serious shows lighten up a little bit. So far with this episode I'd only had really one light-hearted moment that had me smile, or at least chuckle.

I think I'm in store for more of those, but I don't expect too many of them. That's fine.

I'd expected intensity, though not to this level, but it's enraptured me.

I take in episode 2 tomorrow, along with another of my intense shows, The 100.
