A good honest show, but a tad sinister for my liking. But it tells the real story about today's society and what its coming to, and in cases, what's happening now. But some societies ignore the facts.

Elizabeth Moss is amazing as June/Offred in this drama. There's no sugar coating or glamour, just raw emotion in every episode. I'm on series 3, and I'm still totally gripped. I do love a strong, fiesty female lead.
