    About Handmaid's Tale:
    The Handmaid's Tale is an American dystopian tragedy television series created by Bruce Miller, based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The series was ordered by the streaming service Hulu as a straight-to-series order of 10 episodes, for which production began in late 2016. The plot features a dystopia following a Second American Civil War wherein a totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called "Handmaids", to child-bearing slavery.
    The first three episodes of the series premiered on April 26, 2017; the subsequent seven episodes were released every Wednesday. In May 2017, the series was renewed for a second season; which premiered on April 25, 2018. In May 2018, Hulu renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on June 5, 2019. In July 2019, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which is scheduled to premiere in 2021. In September 2019, it was announced that Hulu and MGM were developing a sequel series, to be based on Atwood's 2019 novel The Testaments.
    The Handmaid's Tale's first season won eight Primetime Emmy Awards from 13 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. It is the first show produced by Hulu to win a major award as well as the first series on a streaming service to win an Emmy for Outstanding Series. It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series - Drama. Elisabeth Moss was also awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actress.
    Season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale is premiering in 2021. Originally, the new season was scheduled to premiere in fall 2020, but production came to a halt in March because of the coronavirus pandemic. Six months later, in September, production resumed in Toronto. This time around, viewers can expect 10 episodes instead of the usual 13, one of which will be directed by actress Elisabeth Moss (June Osborne).
    According to showrunner Bruce Miller, the decision “was 100% creative,” allowing the show to focus on a smaller part of the story instead of multiple story arcs.
    "Some storylines just seem to shake out as a 10-episode story, in my eyes,” he told IndieWire. “It gives us a little more freedom because you can rely more on one propulsive element."
    The teaser for season 4 shows the last time we saw June and hints at what's to come. "I can't rest. My daughter deserves better. We all deserve better. Change never comes easy," June says in it. "This war isn't going to win itself. We're just getting started."
    Season 4 of The Handmaid’s Tale will feature the show’s regulars - Elisabeth, Max Minghella (Commander Nick Blaine), Bradley Whitford (Commander Joseph Lawrence), Joseph Fiennes (Commander Fred Waterford), Yvonne Strahovski (Serena Joy Waterford), Alexis Bledel (Dr. Emily Malek Ph.D.), Samira Wiley (Moira), Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia), O-T Fagbenle (Luke Bankole), Madeline Brewer (Janine), and Amanda Brugel (Rita).
    In addition, Sam Jaeger who portrayed American representative Mark Tuello throughout season 2 and 3 was added to the main cast for the latest installment. Viewers will also spot a new face from Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House. Actress Mckenna Grace will play Mrs. Keyes, described as “a sharply intelligent, teenaged wife of a much older Commander who rules her farm and household with confidence.” The new character will show duality with a “calm and pious” exterior but actually suffers “with turmoil” and “insanity” internally.
    Cast:
    Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Joseph Fiennes, Ann Dowd, Max Minghella, Alexis Bledel, Madelaine Brewer, Samira Wiley, Amanda Brugel, Bradley Whitford, Nina Kiri, Sydney Sweeney

    Atwood said that every aspect of Gilead was something that existed in reality at one time or another. Her biggest influences were the Iranian revolution, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. You can really see that come through in the show too. The female citizens being forced to dress modestly and having no voting rights (Iranian revolution), the Aunts look very similar to "brown shirts"/Sturmabteilung as well as the hatred for Judaism and Catholicism which was prevalent in Nazi Germany, and the "colonies" share many similarities to the gulags/forced labor camps of communist countries/the Soviet Union.
    That's why there's long been a debate if Atwood's novel is a critique on fascism, communism, white supremacy, etc. Honestly, I see it as a critique on authoritarianism, regardless of politics. Radical regimes never end well, regardless if it's left or right.

      Here's what I'd like to know. Has anyone here wondered why they gave this dystopian country within a country the name "Gilead"? The company that owns Pfizer is named "Gilead". In light of the science fiction novel we've been living in for the past two years I wonder if that's just a coincidence. Get back to me if you have a chance to read it before it's wiped. Oh, with regard to aunt Lydia, I'd like to take her face off with a cheese grater. Dowd is fantastic in that role, almost too good if you catch my drift.

      @@athairn I think the TV Lydia doesn’t really sync up with book Lydia 100% though. Her flashbacks on the show showed her getting swept up in the fundamentalist tide, turning into a true believer. It’s been a while since I read The Testaments so I’m fuzzy on small details but I don’t think they’re quite the same person. I absolutely love that version of Lydia though. I think it’s a bit of a love letter to Ann Dowd’s performance.
      If you go back and read the first book, Lydia’s scenes read like a novelization. That’s how amazing Dowd’s performance was, these incredibly specific, poetic descriptions of her demeanor, her facial expressions... you could tell someone the show came first and they’d believe it. So I kinda felt that Atwood was in turn inspired by that performance and specifically had Dowd in mind when she wrote The Testaments.

      @@candicefrost4561 All of the women in Gilead were trafficked (however, in the case of the Wives, it's a bit more fuzzy). They were violently removed from their communities, isolated, and forced by threat of violence to perform some function to the men in Gilead. Each class of women had different roles which allowed the sons of Gilead to exploit them for specific purposes (sex/children, cooking/cleaning, maintaining order, etc). There are multiple forms of trafficking -- Sex trafficking, labour trafficking, trafficking for criminal exploitation. I would say the Aunts were absolutely trafficked just like the Handmaids, just to perform different roles. She only reaches for the power you refer to in order to survive.

    I don't think Aunt Lydia is a sadist.
    Women in Gilead had little to no power, and a very limited range of duties - Wives to watch over the household and be mothers, Handmaids to give children, Marthas to cook and clean and Aunts to watch over the Handmaids and keep them in line. As Atwood said in her book, women were expected to know their place. In such a totalitarian and harsh reality where women were some sort of lower citizens, they wanted to feel needed and important in some way. It's a bit like the meme "you had one job". When you screw that up, it feels like you are useless and torn apart. Lydia wanted to carry her mission in Gilead as an Aunt, and we can see how determined she is to do so. When her authority fell down in the eyes of society, she feels endangered and loses herself - it could be the fear of consequences for not being able to fulfill her duties too.
    We see in season two (in her life before Gilead) that she is not heartless and cold. In season five she cries over Janine, prays to God and asks for forgiveness for her mistakes. The lack of love and loneliness brings out an evil person in her, who contributes to little Ryan being taken away from his mother.
    Gilead makes you insane, it takes away all your humanity. It made Lydia as she was expected to be seen.

    There's a drawing of a woman & child to the left of the door in Serena's bedroom or the nursery; it was drawn by Kathy Kollwitz (? I think that's her last name, & she was German ?). She's famous for her drawings of women & children together - with simple sweeps of charcoal, she expresses the intimacy between woman & child, mother & child, grandmother & child - she offers a vision of what life is from that point of view. Beautiful choice, but twisted, too, as Serena let her desire for a child warp her so much that she stopped caring about ANYTHING else. Maybe she never did...

    One of the major things everyone misses is the Handmaid's names. It's not 'OFF-red', it's OF-Fred. She belongs to whatever Commander is using her at any given time. That's absolutely critical to understanding Atwood's work. OF-Warren, OF-Jim Bob, OF-Kyle, OF-Tom, OF-Dick, OF-Harry. The Handmaids are vessels, slaves, subhumans, rentals, if you will. They get three chances, then it's off to the Colonies. And Her name isn't June. Also, there are no POCs in Gilead. I love Samira and Amanda, but they would not have been in Gilead. The powers that be are exclusively white, Fundie Christian men who want to breed white Fundie babies. Taking that liberty took something away from the horror of the whole story.

Writing this after watching the takeover of Afghanistan confirmed yesterday, and watching the desperation of people at the airport. Really shocking. Margaret Atwood certainly observed the world well. 11 days to take an entire country with really difficult terrain. Something that could only have been accomplished by buying off some of their opposition. They would have had to crush it in some places but there is no way they fought their way through, maybe a lot of people actually wanted America to go. Whatever, there were serious resonances with the establishment of Gilead, including billboards with women being whitewashed over.

If anything (and Ann Dowd has even stated this), Aunt Lydia is just extremely misguided. She sees the abuse as tough love or that she is basically an extension of what she thinks is God's will - but does she derive sadistic pleasure from it? Not at all

    Handmaids Tale becoming real is something a lot of Videos of 'Some More News' are about without EVER mentioning the Show at all.

    Great content. Just offering a little correction...in number 4 you mention Boston's MFA, but show a picture of the institute of contemporary art. Was this on purpose to see if anyone would notice?lol

    My question is does Janie's room have a Denny's table since she worked at Denny's before hand?

    If you have only seen the first season maybe be weary of watching this, the short clips used contain spoilers.

    Speaking of details, the clip of the "Museum of Fine Arts" is actually the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art.
