It is a rare thing when a TV-series successfully, from a quality perspective, continues beyond the scope of the novel it is based on. "The Handmaidens Tale" is a rare exception to that, although the last season started to feel like they scraped a dollop of butter over a too large a piece of toast.

You have to go with the style but if you do it is stunning, the best TV I have seen in ages.

I took OCS in France for 2 euros for 2 months the watch the Deadwood film, so this has all been bonus!

I love so many things about it, including the hints of The Shadow....

Post by: thebinmann on 16 December 2020, 09:07:59 PM: I thought that was the idea. In short stories the characters change but on tv that doesn't work as well.
