What Reelgood users are saying
The Handmaid's Tale is highly addictive and unique, with a gripping plot that keeps viewers on edge. It draws parallels to current events, depicting a disturbing yet compelling dystopia. Some find it a critique of cult-like power rather than true Christianity. Early seasons are praised, but later ones less so. One viewer preferred the book and movie over the series.

A frightening depiction of life in the US if the right wing continues to gain power. Parallels to current events feel like foreshadowing. Disturbing but addictive. Incredibly well done.

I love this show! But I have a different opinion of what others think about “what would happen if the right took over”. These people are not truly Christian’s. They are a cult with their sites on money, power and making people into slaves to do their bidding! This is NOT Christ-like people, which is why I’m attracted to it. I am a Christian. These people are only “claiming” to be Christian.This is what happens to the cult mindset when given too much power. (Think Jim Jones and the massacre of so many)
