A religion-based autocracy has taken over most of the United States, renaming the country Gilead. In this country women are second-class citizens. Anyone trying to escape is punished. One such person is June, who is captured while trying to escape with her husband and child and is sentenced to be a handmaid, bearing children for childless government officials. As a handmaid, June is renamed Offred. This is her story.

Such wonderful world building, only to be undone by how little I could care about Offred's off-putting character. I want back the 5-minutes PER EPISODE of her close-up, scowling face.
