I suspect most viewers of the Handmaid’s Tale watch it with their cats...
And the cats are just thinking “It’s dinner time, you stupid XXXX. Quit watching this drivel and get my Meow Mix.”
Oh I think it would agree with some 35 to 50 year old woman who craves some relationship fantasy. At the end of the episode I watched...I was sitting there and thinking they need some Trump-character to show up and just fix everything. If all of the characters were as miserable as they seem in the story....most folks would get into some revolution or civil war...but they all seem to want to live miserable lives.
