About The Handmaid's Tale
- Released on April 26, 2017
In the captivating series "The Handmaid's Tale," Elisabeth Moss delivers a powerful performance as June Osborne, also known as Offred or Ofjoseph. She is a woman who finds herself trapped in a dystopian future, where a fundamentalist theocratic dictatorship has taken control. This regime, known as the Republic of Gilead, has imposed a strict social hierarchy and rigid rules, particularly concerning women's roles and rights.
Yvonne Strahovski portrays Serena Joy Waterford, a complex character who is both a victim and a perpetrator of the oppressive system. As the wife of a high-ranking government official, she wields considerable power and influence. However, she is also bound by the same restrictive rules and expectations that subjugate all women in Gilead.
Based on Margaret Atwood's acclaimed novel, "The Handmaid's Tale" is a chilling exploration of a society that has traded freedom for order. The story follows June as she navigates the dangerous world of Gilead, where she is forced to serve as a handmaid - a concubine for the ruling class. The series is a gripping tale of survival, resistance, and the indomitable human spirit, making it a must-watch for fans of dystopian dramas.
