"Don't be nice. Be good."
I recently started the book and read about three chapters, which were quite short. I had no idea there was a series until I googled the title. Just got done with all the episodes and I have to say, episode three messed me up the most. You all know why.

I'm not sure if I should finish the book or wait for season 2.

I want to know more about the war, how congress was eliminated. Maybe they could do a whole season based on the plot to kill congress.

Would this be a good show to recommend to a femmenist?

I don't think the showrunners assume that the audience are stupid, rather that they're doing the absolute most to ensure that the audience takes away one specific message (based on the scene or storyline), which seems a bit egregious and unnecessary given the source material and themes at hand here.

They're also pretty inconsistent with how strictly Offred is held to the handmaid rules inside or outside the Waterford residence but that just might be sloppy mistakes or things done for plot convenience.

One of the main things I hate about some shows is that they dumb down their plot line because they don't think the audience will get it. I didn't feel this way for this series.
