A Look at The Handmaid's Tale
Tuesday Jun 09, 2020
Tuesday Jun 09, 2020
Today I take a look at the Hulu hit "The Handmaid's Tale" and how its themes reflect our current political and social climate. Its prescience is sort of eerie. It's also a blast to watch the acting chops of the fabulous Elisabeth Moss, who is in my opinion of our greats.
