20h agoExceIente roteiro e narrativa, soco no estômago e tapa na cara da sociedade, não estamos muito distante dessa 'distopia' é o que a escritora quer dizer. A violência simbólica ou física me causou desconforto. A crítica a administração autoritária e a postura da sociedade em relação à mulher, consegue chocar quem assiste com uma mensagem de clareza e carga dramática. A experiência de ver, questionar e pensar sobre a série se faz mais do que nunca, necessária.

Jul 17, 2022Nothing against the actors or any of the people that put a lot of time and effort into the show, but it just wasn't for me.
-
Jul 04, 2022Dark and twisted but the acting is solid and the storytelling is fresh.
-
May 13, 2022Amazing show. Keeps you on edge and makes you feel tons of emotions. The costumes and the scenes are shot beautifully and it keeps things real.

Apr 12, 2022One of the best tv shows I have ever seen. The cast is incredible and Margaret Atwoods story is amazing. It's defiantly dark, a bit disturbing and unnerving, but that is part of what makes it great. I have nothing negative to say about this show, I enjoyed every minuet of it. I felt connected with the characters and invested in the story. Overall an amazing watch and incredible story.

Mar 05, 2022As amazing as the book. That says a lot.
-

Jul 13, 2021Best show I've seen since game of thrones and one of the most faitful book to tv adaptions I've ever seen! The costumes and the sets 100!!! -- Not gonna lie the rape scenes are pretty cringe but their imortant to the story of Margret Atwood's totaliterian patriarchal nightmare!!! If you haven't read the book or seen the show, do yourslef a favor and start watching!!!
