"A very good product."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

We managed to catch a couple of the early episodes on SBS tv which instigated our appetite for more and hence we purchased the first season from Mighty Ape. The DVD's have been fine so far. The delivery was quicker than expected, and of course was for a very good price.

"Glad I brought and watched from the start."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of the best series I have watched in along time. Will be watching again for sure. Very good story.

"Much better than the original movie"

Description

Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized “return to traditional values.” As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander's hou­sehold, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids–where anyone could be a spy for Gilead–all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Critics Reviews for The Handmaids Tale

“Atwood's story may now be an artifact about an artifact, but it retains its great power as a reminder of the thin tissue between the past and the present.” – Emily Nussbaum New Yorker

“The Handmaid's Tale is brutally excellent; my binge-watch this week was so unsettling that when I dashed out of the house to collect my eight-year-old from a play date, I stopped for a moment under the cherry blossoms, marvelling at my freedom.” – Marsha Lederman Globe and Mail

“Offred is very much the center and Moss has never been more compelling. As oppressed as Offred is, she's fully human and, unfortunately, a character both of and for our time.” – Tom Long Detroit News
