I have watched the first 3 eps and I am downloading the 4th ep as I type this. This is one scary series. It is also well acted and directed.
I think what makes it so scary is that when we see what some of the far right governments are doing, like the one currently in control in the USA, you could actually see a similar story rolling out for real. Margaret Atwood herself does not describe it as science fiction, but rather as a description of one of many possible futures. As well, she says every one of the government acts carried out in her original novel has happened at some point in time in the past.
I definitely recommend!
