The Handmaid’s Tale
We no longer present this feminist dystopia, cardboard in bookstores and which Hulu takes up in 2017.

In form as in substance, The Handmaid’s Tale is a wonder of the small screen. Hulu production does not only benefit from a high -flying staging, it multiplies the narrative shots.

Freezing at every moment, captivating and above all beautifully embodied, The Handmaid’s Tale is of those series that do not leave unharmed spectators. Season 6 arrives, you have no more excuses and shortly to catch up with the walking train. You can see or review The Handmaid’s Tale South Prime Video.
