The stylisation is probably the main reason it's so bollocks haha

it's cliched and the scenes where the handmaids are walking along in slow motion are ridiculous self parody. seems to be winter all the time.it's not good, it's absurd, the characters don't talk and act like real people, and it's overly stylised. but it's watchable
I spent years not watching TV at all ever but during the first lockdown I needed a bit of escapism and TV did the trick. Turns out some of it is alright.TV drama is rarely worth a fuck. listen to music instead.
I didn't watch TV at all from early 1994 to early 1997. I started to watch football again at that point.I spent years not watching TV at all ever but during the first lockdown I needed a bit of escapism and TV did the trick. Turns out some of it is alright.
Pretty much nails it allit's cliched and the scenes where the handmaids are walking along in slow motion are ridiculous self parody. seems to be winter all the time.
June seems get away with a huge amount considering the fate of other folks who were killed ages ago.
when the Gilead guy who abducted and continually abused June in his household was arrested in Canada they somehow let June's husband interrogate him ?!
the lead actor being a member of dystopian religion herself also doesn't add up.
The Margaret Atwood "don't call it sci-fi" wars have been going on for years man, you have no idea what hornets nest you're poking at here.It is grim. It's grim as feck, but hey that's how many people live in this world. The wife watched half of episode one and was very triggered. Proper freaked out.
It's far from perfect. I don't think it's over-stylised I think it has a distinctive style. Yeah the characters act oddly with each other, but I think that's in keeping with the show.
I didn't like that Margaret Atwood took offence to it being called science fiction, like she taught sci-fi was a dirty word. It is a dystopian near future world.
Finished this last night. It's pretty good, fairly bleak stuff. It's also very European, which is nice for a change in my post apocalyptic TV show viewing.Two episodes into the 2019 War of The Worlds. Ok so far.
Brilliant showIf we're on a theme of bleak, I've been watching Time on BBC. It's about as much fun as a show starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham can be expected to be. Only three episodes mind.
I've had to stop watching in parts. Cried in parts. Didn't laugh once.
Yes, thanks, I forgot to mention. It is a great show and everyone should watch it. Just be prepared for it.Brilliant show

My interest was piqued when I read an interview with a long term prisoner who said that it was very real and he had seen every single thing in the show happen in real life. His only criticism was he saw all that over the course of a couple of decades and not in the couple of years of the show. Because prison is actually really long most of the time.
Rewatching Inspector Morse.
John Thaw (born 1942) was only 45 when he first played Morse (1987)
