RE: THE HANDMAID'S TALE - and Hulu's tonally clueless ads. A [drunken] discussion.
You're right about the show. It feels hauntingly close to becoming a reality, but I guess that's true about 1984 and any other dystopian story, when you don't agree with your country's leadership. And yeah, the LegoLand ads are jarring AF.
Still though, the way that the show marginalizes women, is pretty in line with how this administration seems to view women's rights. Past pregnancy as a pre-existing condition? Defunding Planned Parenthood? MIKE PENCE!
Like I said, the parallels are crazy. I definitely think the show is a haunting cautionary tale. At least it looks like Jeff Sessions isn't long for this administration. crossing fingers
