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.

With a premise like this, this show really had potential to be something incredible if they had kept it to three tight seasons as opposed to one or two stronger ones and four seasons of sloppy messy, unnecessary unfocused narrative. The final few episodes have a heavy lift of trying to mop up all the messes while still trying to deliver a satisfactory conclusion.
