Binged the three available episodes last night, and I'm actually grateful that Hulu doesn't drop the whole series at once or I would not have slept last night. This was incredibly good.
How is the transition in society handled? I didn't find the scenario described by the book to be believable.
Interesting, that makes more sense. In the book it felt like it happens pretty suddenly that out of nowhere women don't have rights and the men in society are just cool going along with it it, and then this quasi-religious government pops up, also out of nowhere.They hint at it and show flashbacks to slow changes. Seems to come down to staged terrorist activity to enact some laws that escalated to denying women the right to control money or property and work. Then violence started.

Man in the High Castle is pretty good too. Just finished it this weekend.
Yep. The last episode or 2 rushed through a whole lot of events, but they probably knew they'd struggle with that without a 5th season renewal.

Surprised this got buried. Very interesting series once it extended past the book. Disturbing all the same.
I wonder if the show (or a new version) will take up Atwood's sequel novel, which features 3 main storylines, including Aunt Lydia's story.
Yeah very curious on that as well. Have you checked out the documentary on Netflix - " The Family"? Ironically I came across it right after binging the HT.
