Aww shit… Been waiting for this…
me and the boys when the boys
Definitely not a show I asked for, but I think it has some big potential.
For those not aware this is a spinoff/sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale. That show, while it ran a little long, I think overall ending strongly. Margaret Atwood, who wrote the original Handmaid’s Tale book, wrote this book a few years ago after the show came out. (The show told stories that went long after and different from the book). I believe she is also involved in this show. The show runner of Handmaids Tale actually left the final season of the show (as show runner) to focus on this show.
Which is all to say, yes this is a spinoff/sequel, but it’s got talented people involved and they believe in it.
I’ll definitely be giving it a shot.
Hey AMC — I’d rather see another season of Lodge 49. Or Rubicon. Not yet another series about Silicon Valley. Thanks anyway.
There is new one of these for every generation. My favorite is the 1995 BBC mini-series.
