I just finished watching the first episode of The Handmaid's Tale, and I'm emotionally beaten to a pulp. You think Insidious is scary? Or The Exorcist? This show is pure horror! Terror! Creeping dread! It's very well done, and it's been decades since I read the book, so I'm not comparing them as such. It's the proximity to real life that makes it so unsettling. Brrr.
If the US ever becomes a true theocracy (which doesn't sound so crazy these days, does it), I will smuggle all of you into Canada and keep you hidden in my basement. It's nice, and has a kitchenette, so. xoxoxox
