The Handmaid's Tale

When I first heard of this miniseries, I thought, “why?” They already did a movie with Natasha Richardson - admittedly a long time ago - but why redo it?

But I’m loving it. It’s been many decades since I read the book, and usually I don’t like it when movies modify original works, but in this case I love how they modernized and updated the societal setting (such as references to Craigslist and the like). Makes it seem more real.

Much of it was filmed not far from where I live, and there are many Canadian actors in it. I haven’t watched any of it yet but look forward to seeing the adaptation.

My daughter and I are addicted. Every Wednesday. So creepy!
