You have the unique talent to condense an elaborate story with just the right amount of details. You are saving millions of human hours with your recaps.
and robbing the streaming giants of views ;-)
and yes, I love a good robin hood story. It's nice to have recaps on the market - good shows - (shows worth watching and re-watching) will find their deserved views anyways. Such a good recap can serve not only as a time saver, but also as the best quality trailer for shows which have figurative legs to stand on.
I was just about to say this! Holy crap, this is a talent in and of itself!
@@michalrehacek3462 Why robbing stream giants? I always watch these recaps when the new season lands. I would never rewatch the whole series just for recap and refreshing the story, that would be too much wasted time, but quick recap before hopping to next season? Why not.
"So you can get the story without living through the trauma."
THANK YOU. It's the main reason I can't watch this show, but I want to know the story. Cannot make it through it; barely got through episode one, couldn't make it through episodes 2 and 3. Thank you again.
Signed,
A survivor.
@@nicks.4276 Yes, but you can still be curious and interested in the story. Similar to wanting to watch a horror movie because it has a good plot but you’re too scared to watch the whole thing. Recaps by someone else are easier and less scary.
I’m also curious but it’s just too graphic for me. Surviving something similar is tough enough but shows like this really enable a lot of processing. That’s why it’s good in a summary. But in detail it can become far to overwhelming. Just do what you are able to my dear! I wish you well on your journey towards healing. I’m healing too. ❤
@@nicks.4276 Your comment was completely unnecessary 😊
@@Picachki exactly what I feel about Hannibal. Like, the story intrigues me but I was kind of scarred by the first episode, so respectfully, I did not continue.
Everything June went through and the HUSBAND is the one in the feels over her retribution, dude seriously
I couldn't watch anymore of that show after season 2.
I mean, the constant roller coaster that are June's 75 million almost-escapes-but-in-fact-she-gets-captured-AGAIN was unbearable at some point.
So i'm very glad for that recap. Thank you !!!
I was exactly the same! Having to many near-escapes and then being brought back started to get to me and I had to stop watching it because it was starting to take a toll on my mental health
@@sharayahkristell I clearly understand what you mean ! It was exhausting and it made us anxious as hell...
Lol omg saaame. June's near escapes almost gave me heart failure. Now I know that she made it out, I think I'm gonna finish it.
I almost finished season two but I gave up. Just couldn't take it seriously anymore. It felt like I was just watching misery for the sake of it. It started feeling gratuitous and nonsensical. Hey at least the plot actually went somewhere.
YESS It was very annoying but I pushed though it. Luckily seasons 3 and 4 move the story forward and she does escape
“Get the story without living through the trauma” THANK YOU I somehow managed to get through 1-3 but then i just couldn’t stomach it anymore. Thank you for catching me up!!
There is no joy in the story telling as it was five years of tears and grief as if people were living in the Third Reich. If I want to be depressed 24/7, then I'll return to the ghetto where I grew up!
June dramatically staring at the camera 😂
...and she still does the stare in season 5
You are the reason i get to watch so many shows that I usually wouldn't be able to :)
You’re such a fantastic story teller! You made each season’s story flow so well and didn’t waste time introducing a bunch of things until they were actually important. Loved the vid :)
This was brilliantly done. I’m so appreciative of how concise you were telling the timeline and keeping all the trauma to a minimum.
I'm not sure if you've watched it. But if you have can make a recap on series "The Wire". You're recaps are the best way to get the entire story of a series without watching it and saving 100s of hours.
Recap of the Wire would be great, but still highly recommend everyone watch the entire series.
yes
Would LOVE to see ManOfRecaps recap the wire 😎
The Wire is a must watch.
just watch it man. so you see how real poh-lease work
Thanks again mor from saving me the effort of watching this show!
I've had this show on my "To Watch" list for a while but completely forgot about it. This video just reminded me and it's a bonus that I get to see your very wholesome recap after I'm done with each season!
I didn’t know Elizabeth Moss was that good of an actress, but after watching mad men. I get the hype. I might watch this show!
Don’t. Elizabeth Moss is an active member of the church of Scientology which, long story short wants basically the exact kind of world Gilead is in this show. She’s a gigantic hypocrite and you should refuse to watch anything she is ij
She's the best!
Be prepared to be extra depressed after watch this, The Depressed Gamer
@@adventurefaps9571 I'm so excited to cry in every episode lol, it's gonna be so good
queen of close ups
Thank you for the video!! I just can’t shake how they only bring back Hannah just when we’re about to forget her, to taunt June and the viewers it’s so smart
You seriously are the best person for doing recaps! Really appreciate the work you put into these, Danke!
Thank you! You just saved me a whole weekend of binge watching!! Great recap and love how animated you are
June is the most aggravating pov person ever. She gets so many killed or tortured by being obnoxious and her plot armor means she gets away with everything
LITERALLY!!! Season 1 ending made me livid at her
I have watched you evolve in your craft from the start. I love how you perform your recaps! I just saw the Handmaid’s Tale recap and I had to share how much I like your work!
Bro you got me through quarantine, this is one of the recaps I was most excited for, and again, truly awesome and well done.
You're really the only one that properly recaps alot of useful info really clear and quick. You should be the first result.
I love you man. I always come here when I need a recap but this one was just soooo perfect. Exactly what I wanted before starting season 5. Thank you!
I wasn’t going to watch this show but I love the recaps! I’m so glad to see all seasons in 1 video
I find myself fast forwarding this show a lot. So thanks for the recap. Now I’m ready for season 5.
Best recap! I’ve watched a bit of the first season but it was too much drama for me and I couldn’t watch it around my kids but I really wanted to know what happened! Thanks for the recap!
Just a small potential correction, i believe the colonies werent a nuked location, but instead an area where a nuclear reactor went critical and spread nuclear waste to the surrounding area - which is why the women are forced to clean up the waste (where they unfortunately pass due to the horrific conditions)
yessss
If i remember correctly that's what causes the widespread infertility in the first place - environmental destruction.
@@rhiannebyron1889Well said!
@@rhiannebyron1889 so it kinda a circle 😢
Thanks for the recap. There was so much hype for this show but I couldn't get past 1st episode. Loved the recap.
Same! It was soooo excruciatingly slow. I thought it was just me then felt vindicated seeing the 100s of comments online. Surprised it got so big
@@littleman787 Yeah its a very slow show, and extremely depressing. It took me like 2 years to go back finishing the second season because it just messed me up too much to keep binging it. But totally worth it. Cant wait to see what happens in season 5. Hopefully some more dead theocrats.
@@adventurefaps9571 20 minutes of characters staring morosely out of windows, peak cinematography
Thank you!! I have put this show off for yrs. Then I recently saw episode one and couldn't bring myself to continue. Thank you!
Thank you so much, tis is the show I've heard so much about but never had the will to watch it. Now I can finally understand what people on internet are talking about.
I greatly appreciate a recap that cuts out the MA content. Nice to get the story without the gruesome experiences :) You're a legend as always!
Yes thank you. I had to skip through like half of season 2 or 3 bc it was just too much. And I love how you pointed out how every single episode ended with June staring into the camera with crazy rage.
justified rage* I'd say😅
I think it was to remind us of the humanity of the handmaids over the character
How is it too much
I fell in love with this series but once I watched the season 3 finale and June didnt leave AGAIN, I was like, "Fuck this." Thank God for Man of Recaps to go through the whole thing.
@@pistachiopanda Did you even watch season 3? She had to make a distraction for the children and marthas to get away and she got shot and couldn't join them.
Blessed be the Man of Recaps
Omg thank you so so much for doing this recap.
i don’t understand how you’re not couple million subscribed channel like oversimplified. I’m a cinephile and i still watch your recaps even after i know what happened.
He's getting there
Like High Boi for example, it’s the memes
Love, love, love your videos! Always puts a smile on my face.
I always forget Sydney Sweeney is in this. Also amazing show can’t wait for season 5!!!!!
I'm glad I just watched & absorbed this video lol. When the 1st season came out I quit by episode 5. It was just a lil too much of a slow burn for me. My ADD got the best of me. But now I can watch the new season & not be completely lost. This is probably the only show I'll ever just watch a recap of the 1st 4 seasons then start at 5 😄 oh well. This recap was excellently done!
THANK YOU!!! I have watched every episode of THT. But the heavily spaced out seasons, binging so many other shows & cV1️⃣9️⃣ I had forgotten some things. ThxU your recaps are 🔥🎆🧨💥❤️🔥💯🤩✌️🥂
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for the refresher!
Thanks for all the great recaps!
I wouldn't have been able to sit through the series but you done a wonderful job recapping it,it's a good show.
I’m so glad I found this video! I was interested in the story but I couldn’t make it past the first episode.
This was amazing thank you!
Thanks for this! I watched season one and really enjoyed the worldbuilding, intrigue, and acting. But I couldn't stomach the amount of time and focus given to the violent scenes. So it's nice to know how things went from where I l left off.
Thank you! I have the worst memory and work's crazy right now so I have no time to watch every season again before the new one. This is why I love your channel. :D
Just belting out that amazing content these last few weeks, ManO. Thanks for another great vid. Under His Eye.👁
Thank you for this recap! It was amazing.
enjoyed that recap as i only started watching last night and its series 5 i am on .. now i know the story thank you .
It was so hard to watch this show, it really lets you see how desensitised to this stuff we are when we hear about it happening in non-western countries, because it felt so much more real and relatable seeing the stuff that happens in places like the middle east and some african countries happening in a place where you are from.
Wow! The western THE HEROES THE SAVIORS that completely destroyed the Middle East nd colonised Africa nd still doing it.
Just so we're clear, things are bad around the world, but there's nothing as organized and of this scale out there thankfully
@@maestro1298Afghanistan is close, I think.
Thank you I can't access any of these shows in my country so your recaps are the best things ever
You are the best at this. I so appreciate you!
Thank you for the great recap!
Thank you for this recap. 🙏
in my opinion, everyone must watch this show. It's happening already in many parts of the world like Afghanistan. It's a privilege to be able to Say it's difficult to watch and ignore. So do watch and support our fellow people in struggling. - A fellow Indian
I don't think they should watch this, but rather watch documentaries of hospitals made to take care of brides in the Middle East who have tried to light themselves on fire to escape forced marriages. See, liberal American women think that America is living in the Handmaid's Tale now because, oh no, there are laws regarding when abortions can happen. Or oh no. They get catcalled and the police do nothing. They have no comprehension how lucky we have it in this country. I know Indian women are high risk in a lot of ways in India, too :/
They literally dressed up in those dresses and sat out on our highest court's steps because they didn't want abortion rights to be determined at state level. Yeah, that's right. Abortion wasn't 'taken away'. Every state allows for them, in different circumstances, and people were acting like women are going to be forced to give birth no matter what. The press even tried to be like 'white supremacists forcing white women to get pregnant' but couldn't cite sources.
Yup people going omg if if the Christians took over USA it could be like this. But it already like this in half the world
Lol..in Afghanistan? Did you stop your medication?
Dude, surrogacy is happening in India 😂
You misspelled AmeriStan.
You're really good at this. Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you, you've saved so many people so much time🌞
The very best part of your recap, and the reason that I stopped watching the show during season three: "90% of the show is close-ups of June's face." 😄 Elizabeth Moss probably demanded that in her contract, but, jeez, it nakes the series unwatchable! So, thank you for catching me up on the show!
Thank you so much for telling the short version of the story.
This was a great, very detailed but quick recap 👌
Another perfect recap thanks man 👍
Thank you! That's the best recap of this tripe I could have asked for. You nailed it. I'll never watch it.
Easily the best recaps out there!! I no longer even bother to watch recaps from anybody else, keep doing what you're doing man, you're the best
Ooof, partway through season 2 I got so tired of all the false starts on escapes and very little changing in terms of status quo. Thanks for this, I super needed the catharsis of seeing aunt Lydia get stabbed and Fred get beaten.
Thank you! Caught me up! Brilliant!
THANKS!!!! I did not want to see the traumatic scene so thank you so much for the recap :D
Amazing videos keep up the good work
Awesome recap thank you!!! 🙏
Every time a search a recap I see you. And it's great!
Great recap thank you😊
Fortunately, I remembered pretty much everything, but this recap was a nice refresher.
It's weird how I remember all seasons that I watched many years ago, but I couldn't remember a single thing for some other series.. like Yellowjackets for example.
I couldn’t proceed after episode 5 IT IS A LOT so thank u for the recap
Excellent recap!
i couldn’t watch after season 1 because as a woman in america it was way way too close to home and crushed my spirit, but i did want to know what happens so i really appreciate this recap, thank you
This is the best recap I’ve ever seen
Thank youuuuuu! That saved so much time
thank you. I didn't want to watch the show due to my own trauma issues, but still wanted a summary. This was perfect
That was an awesome recap! Save me hours of my life because I really do love the show but I don’t have time.
Bro, thank you so much for doing these recaps, seriously if it isn't done by you it's just not right
Thank you. You just saved me 4 seasons of watch time.
Thank you! I have to leave the room whenever my parents would watch this but I’m so fascinated with the show. I can’t even watch svu anymore
Was gonna watch S04 because McKenna Grace is a national treasure but couldn't make it through S01 without shaking angry. Thanks for this
@ 15:29 .... The sarcasm in BLESSED BE THE FRUIT was spewed out in the best tone possible. 🏆🏆🏆
Saved me season 1-4 thanks, now for a summary of season 5
What a good recap!
Thank you for this. Did not want to watch all that from start to finish lol
Yo great recap man
