the first season genuinely scared me because I've HEARD people say shit like that in public. proudly. I've seen people act like their religion is the one true way and try to enforce it on others... this future is honestly not so far fetched as some would think
Superficiality is also forced. Everything is programming. Religion just stands out. Atleast spirituality tries to be straightforward. Not sneaky and hiding in plain sight like shallow teachings trying to further you away from God.
We already had a taste of "people act like their religion is the one true way and try to enforce it on others" called the Spanish Inquisition. Yeah it is pretty awful.
Yeah I actually started watching this around the time Alabama was passing it's anti-abortion laws. I straddle the line on the pro-life/pro-choice issue as in an ideal world abortions didn't happen and all babies were loved (for all of their lives not just before they're born. Yet, I respect a woman's right to choose even if it wouldn't be my choice. Watching this show really opened my eyes to how slippery the slope can be and how important it is not to become complacent about standing up and speaking out.
It is as if Margaret Atwood could see into the future and that one day this COULD happen. A cautionary tale to help us remember that everything that happens with the government could crumble and fall in an instant. No one is giving credit to the actress who plays Rita Blue. She is fantastic. I would love to have her as my best friend.
I feel like the reason people like handmaids tail so much is of course the acting and writing is top notch but it's so realistic that you can't help but relate the world today and the possibility of this kind of dystopia happening for real and it hopefully opens people eyes and hearts to change before we end up like this
Margaret Atwood is a Canadian author for those who don't know. The filming is done in Hamilton, Ontario. It is close to the Niagara Region and just west of Toronto. A lot of filming for movies and TV series has been done in and around Hamilton. And just a fun fact...Hamilton is located in southern Ontario and is actually lower in latitude than the northern states. So, while yes it gets very cold here, Hamilton is very comparable to say, Detroit or Buffalo.
As a Canadian, I've always loved the sort of irony in the author being a Canadian, and shot in Canada, and is about Americans essentially fleeing to Canada.
They also shot many scenes in Cambridge and Guelph for the second season. The scenes where the bodies are hanging on the wall by the water and the part of the story where Janine takes the baby and then jumps off the bridge were shot at one of these locations. They were in Burlington one day filming down by the waterfront. I would love to watch the filming.
I am so relieved to see this. Seeing this series made me feel what if this actually happens and in this it's so real that you accept it that yes this is the reality. Excellent show in every way .
That last question was pretty prophetic if you asked me. I would love to watch all of this show, but as I watched it, I sensed that we were heading in this direction and it scares me to be honest. And with everything going on, it wouldn't take much for this fictional tale to become a reality.
@@YourBiggestHaterM8 Republicans are on their way to take over. No one stands up to them. They won't stop until they have ALL the power, and a dictator.
There's a good reason why they film in Canada, it's not really counter intuitive. Canada offers major film tax credits on top of the dollar value, hiring the best people in film for crew and the beautiful natural landscapes.
Shes great but Elizabeth Moss takes the spotlight and runs with it as soon as the camera hit her. She makes me feel what shes feeling. So fucking talented.
yeah buddy Moss is definitely excellent too! I think Yvonne portrays an unlikeable character with interesting dynamics, which seems more challenging...
I can’t help it....she’s always going to be “Hannah McKay” to me. Dexter’s female counterpart, and slightly sloppy serial killer, who assumes he’s dead when he doesn’t show up to leave the country with them during the chaos of a hurricane, so she takes his son with her to raise somewhere beyond extradition. It’s funny because the characters are SO different, but she’s so good as both of them, and I love them both.
Margaret Atwood already finished her new book, did a masterclass, and had a cameo in the television series, and George R.R. Martin has not finished his in 20 years...
@@captainjefferies9047 so you actually have convinced yourself that D&D write as well as GRRM? Have you watched many interviews with GRRM? If so, you would know that as a writer, he is a gardener with ideas about how his stories may end but he writes like a gardener changing course constantly based on what blooms. Wake up noob.
In actuality, I was very worried we were heading to this type of dystopia for a while. The dialogue in the show, and books gives a person a good chance to check ones words and thoughts as to how they can be perceived. The treatment of women, is currently happening in our world, although not in this magnitude. The value of women as breeding machines or as fine and proper free or work horses, is still in the mindset of many in our current culture. When I first watched this it troubled me so, because I did have fears we were headed to this place. I hope we never realize this reality.
I was thinking the very same thing and actually, if you look at the current ways the admin is mandating vacs, etc it really isn't crazy to think the way of this show. It troubled me as well. Still does.
@@kathys.9369 you are more worried of a mandatory vat than a madman trying to over throw our government?! Wow! Now, half the country believe his big lie AND is ok with women’s reproductive rights. I’d say we are very, very close to the nightmare of Giliad!
That is why when the books start being burned and freedom of speech or control over one's own body is threatened it is important to nip it in the bud. If you don't stand up for your rights, they will be taken away from you.
The USA 🇺🇸 already experienced a type of Gilead during chattel enslavement. Laws prohibited the enslaved from education, choice, travel and personal freedom. Violence and threat of harm controlled entire families for generations. Women and men were forced to have children and those children were taken away. People who tried to escape could and were brought back by force. Gilead just does it to everyone. Thanks to Ms. Attwood for helping people to see what other families lived through for centuries.
This is why the show works so well , the cast get along and have a laugh 😂 plus the Author of the book is on set with the actors. It all works because of this. The best shows have the funniest bloopers
It's harder to do when you're born into it. Her parents and Scientologist friends would disown her if she did. But yeah, pretty tragic that the star of a show about an evil religion ran amok is a member of an evil religion running amok (albeit less so).
Ugh! These actors are all amazing! I know someone that was able to meet Yvonne on the street and she was just the nicest of people. It's important to know that they are all simply so good at their craft..a little too good, sometimes! It can be such a hard show to watch sometimes.0
Basically the author took inspiration from modern day/historical tragedies such as the Holocaust and slavery. That way if you find yourself trying to comfort yourself with “oh well it’s just a show” -no. This stuff really happened. Even the muzzles on the women happened during the witchc hunts.
Oryx and Crake, another book by Atwood about a dystopian future, changed my life. It is my favorite book next to LOTR. THE THING I FIND MOST FRIGHTENING ABOUT IT, is that I see elements of Oryx and Crake developing TODAY, in the present. Every year that goes by, I say 'OMG THAT WAS IN ORYX AND CRAKE' and it's coming true!! Spoiler alert: we're all gonna die in 50-100 years if the plot remains true to life.
I had to find something uplifting about the show. I also do this after watching horror films too. I'm only on Season 2 Episode 3. I've been binge watching the show for about two days now. I tried to watch this in the past when it first came out but it just seemed too real for me. I couldn't take it. That I started watching it again, I'm hooked to it.
"The topic of fanaticism related to adherence to Orthodox teachings is very relevant. The story is rhythmic, and the change of mental reactions plays a huge role in it. And we enter into a rhythm when the orientation towards compulsory unity prevails, towards orthodoxy that is obligatory for all, towards an order that suppresses freedom. This is a reaction against the nineteenth century, against its love of freedom and humanity. A mass psychology of intolerance and bigotry is being developed. At the same time, the balance is disturbed and the person allows himself to become manic. An individual becomes a victim of collective psychoses. There is a terrible narrowing of consciousness, suppression and displacement of many essential human traits, the whole complexity of a person's emotional and intellectual life. Unity is achieved not through completeness, but through more and more damage. Intolerance is related to jealousy. Jealousy is a psychosis in which the sense of realities is lost. The mental life is overturned and fixed at one point, but the point at which fixation occurs is not really perceived at all."-the philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev
I love the dancing montage. I also was shock at the accents behind the scenes of Serena, Nick and Fred. They do so well in losing it in the shows, I was taken back in one you your videos when Nick spoke. I'm unsure of where they are from , but another detail that is not lost, by this fan. Who else is just practicing patience leading up to 4/28 for release of new season? LOVE THIS CHANNEL! UNDER HIS EYE!
Have you ever seen House and heard Hugh Laurie's real accent? Or The Walking Dead...Andrew Lincoln, Lauren Cohen, Lennie James...? All British, but they drop their accents and never miss a beat on the show. Being from the south though, I can tell Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is forcing that Georgia accent, but he does it very well. I might not notice it so much if I didn't know he's British. I think most of them have extensive voice coaching.
"Because Canada is freezing cold in the winter months", you mean like the Northern Mid-Western and Eastern United States? *eyeroll. It's shot in Canada for the same reason so many American productions are shot in Canada; its' cheaper! Not that people are paid less, but because of the currency difference, the American $ goes a lot further in Canada. Plus saying it's shot in Canada is pretty vague, considering Canada is the second largest country by land mass in the world. It's shot in and around(approximately 2 hour drive radius) Toronto. Example, Fred and Serena's home is located in an older wealthier part of the city where I live(Hamilton, Ontario) and the scene where they are riding in the back of the pick up with the rebels through a bombed out part of 'Chicago" is a main road in the central east end of Hamilton I know very well(my wife grew up around there and one of the store fronts they drive by used to be a musical instrument store where I bought my first guitar!). The scene in the tunnel where June emerges from the bullrushes to hand off Nicole to escape to Canada, it in the neighboring city of Burlington by a public park(that tunnel is actually under a major highway so that dialogue must have been ADRed after the fact because of the traffic noise. The "Wall" and that river is actually in a city of Cambridge, Ontario. The mass assembly of handmaids in the large Square, that is Nathan Phillips Square in front of Toronto city hall.
To add, Emily's scenes when she comes to the hospital in Canada and her uni when she was a professor were both filmed at the University of Toronto Mississauga campus.
@@jacquelinejay1421 so liberals want a society where men are enslaved, tortured, executed and raped on the regular? Or do you mean liberals want a society with equal rights? If it's the first, you are an insane person
@@schibbedie2 LMAO ... you shouldn't take things you read on the internet so seriously or be so willing to argue. I was joking... I am not a liberal or a republican I think both of yall are "insane" haha peace!
The truth is all of it is true. Margaret Atwood didn't want it to be perceived as a science fiction so she used true crimes against women as references. Not 1 single thing in that show hasn't been done to a woman somewhere. #stopcrimesagainstwomen
I really hate that one part where they take the handicapped people and the one guy kicks the walker out from under the girl omg if I was there I’d at least try to help but I guess you can’t tho
0:35 "If you didn't know this, Elizabeth Moss is a fan... she has said that the book has had 'a massive impact on her life' ...while not realizing that it's nearly an exact analogue to the so-called church of scientology, of which she is a member. Here's hoping she gets there one day!"
I love, love this show and it presents everything that it happening right now‼️😱🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Shocking but yes 🤷🏻♀️ Nice to see them laughing and enjoying while they film because it is a very intense script 😳🤦🏻♀️ But, is addictive 😂
I’ll read the second book, but it’s hard to read a book after you watch the show because I already know what happens. But reading the book first, then watching the show I can do.
Im almost finished with season 1 and my question is, where the hell is everyone the US defended? All those wars we stuck our nose in (for oil or opium) to “help” other countries who needed our help. Why did they allow this to happen to the US? Edit: well ig if we had to help them, how much could they really help us? But damn...
"An intolerant fanatic commits violence, excommunicates, imprisons and executes, but he is, in fact, weak, not strong, he is depressed by fear and his consciousness is terribly narrowed, he believes less in God than a tolerant one. In a certain sense, one could say that fanatical faith is a weakness of faith, lack of faith. This is a negative faith. "--Nikolai Berdyaev
They have to try to have fun when not recording just so they don't get suicidal and depressed! My God just watching it makes me incredibly depressed so I has taken me until literally yesterday to watch all 4 seasons and I started watching them about 2 years ago , because I have to take breaks between some of the episodes 💔
We could totally have this kind of world and in some places it exists already. I know a suffocating sect that treats women like Gilead. But, at least you can walk away without arrest!
Yup, alot of the clips were shot here in my home town of Cambridge Ontario. The river scenes are of the Grand River passing thru downtown Galt, which is part of Cambridge. Not sure where the main house scenes were done.
@@matcowan1054 Native Texan. Most days we count ourselves as part of the States. Having grown up a Independent Free Will Baptist, and having escaped the death cult of Christianity, I would wager you haven't sit in enough pews on enough Sunday mornings to understand my observation.
I'm just confused by that comment. I'm from the southeast and was brought up Baptist too, but I don't get why anyone would see the handmaids as villains. I assume you mean in real life, not the show...? Although on the show, Aunt Lydia speaks to them and abuses them as if they're horrible, sinful, villainous creatures. I feel like there's a shred of humanity in her and SOMETIMES she feels guilty about the things they're doing. I sort of get the feeling she mostly assimilated to cover her own ass, but, even though she seems almost human at times, I still think she's a cruel and gutless coward. She says it's her duty to look after them and yet she puts them through absolute hell. I guess that's love from some people's point of view. It was the way my own mother expressed her "love" for my sister and me. It's a sickness. Even in her life before Gilead, Lydia seemed somewhat condescending and judgemental. This show really gets in my head and actually disturbs me sometimes, which is a credit to Margaret Atwood, as well as the actors, writers, directors and producers of the show. It's pretty disturbing and thought-provoking. Also, so much irony and hypocrisy. The upper echelon of Gilead "act" all religious and self-righteous and yet they're "committing all the sins" they condemn and torture, maim and kill others for. It's really deep and powerful. I often find myself mulling over a lot of 'what-ifs' when watching.
@Esther P australia would never have voted for Trump so I doubt there would be much of a show. Also we don’t have guns so again, wouldn’t have a show. USA has a huge sex slave industry, has had many extremist religious groups that degrade, rape women and steal their children. So yeah, we know it’s fantasy but it’s scary that their are people in the US who treat women this way already.
One thing that I’m so happy about with this show is that they gave Ally Sheedy a job. And her role was excellent for her. She was amazing. I love Ally Sheedy.

All British, but they drop their accents and never miss a beat on the show. Being from the south though, I can tell Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is forcing that Georgia accent, but he does it very well. I might not notice it so much if I didn't know he's British. I think most of them have extensive voice coaching.
I think the start of a Gilead is already happening in the USA, I read the book 30 years ago & loved it but thought it far fetched, not anymore!
That's ridiculous.
"Because Canada is freezing cold in the winter months", you mean like the Northern Mid-Western and Eastern United States? *eyeroll. It's shot in Canada for the same reason so many American productions are shot in Canada; its' cheaper! Not that people are paid less, but because of the currency difference, the American $ goes a lot further in Canada. Plus saying it's shot in Canada is pretty vague, considering Canada is the second largest country by land mass in the world. It's shot in and around(approximately 2 hour drive radius) Toronto. Example, Fred and Serena's home is located in an older wealthier part of the city where I live(Hamilton, Ontario) and the scene where they are riding in the back of the pick up with the rebels through a bombed out part of 'Chicago" is a main road in the central east end of Hamilton I know very well(my wife grew up around there and one of the store fronts they drive by used to be a musical instrument store where I bought my first guitar!). The scene in the tunnel where June emerges from the bullrushes to hand off Nicole to escape to Canada, it in the neighboring city of Burlington by a public park(that tunnel is actually under a major highway so that dialogue must have been ADRed after the fact because of the traffic noise. The "Wall" and that river is actually in a city of Cambridge, Ontario. The mass assembly of handmaids in the large Square, that is Nathan Phillips Square in front of Toronto city hall.
To add, Emily's scenes when she comes to the hospital in Canada and her uni when she was a professor were both filmed at the University of Toronto Mississauga campus.
I thought that tunnel was the one near Newcastle
@@ALuimes Nope, in Burlington Ontario under the 403 tunnel, Hidden Valley Road
I love this show soo much,Love the bloopers,also,now I want to go get both books..It's Addictive this show...keep them episodes coming ..
The waterford house looks alot like the haunted house of American horror story season 1!
There are people that would like to see this kind of world come true. Should this ever happen or try to happen it would be war.
I think you will find we are in Series 1 my love 🌹
Who wants this to happen?
@@schibbedie2 the liberals ... lol so like this show but opposite...
@@jacquelinejay1421 so liberals want a society where men are enslaved, tortured, executed and raped on the regular? Or do you mean liberals want a society with equal rights? If it's the first, you are an insane person
@@schibbedie2 LMAO ... you shouldn't take things you read on the internet so seriously or be so willing to argue. I was joking... I am not a liberal or a republican I think both of yall are "insane" haha peace!
Love this show! Thank goodness it's ONLY a show.
For now...
Scary I think this show is honestly coming true
The truth is all of it is true. Margaret Atwood didn't want it to be perceived as a science fiction so she used true crimes against women as references. Not 1 single thing in that show hasn't been done to a woman somewhere. #stopcrimesagainstwomen
I do too!!
@@kellybaker1415 the book and show are so good and so hard to watch bc of how true they are. I truly believe every woman should have to watch/read it.
I really hate that one part where they take the handicapped people and the one guy kicks the walker out from under the girl omg if I was there I’d at least try to help but I guess you can’t tho
I agree we are in Series 1
The wings reminded me of the flying nun .
I'd risk it all even the wall for Mrs Waterford 😍😍😍🤣
The hats are called Wings in this case
I quit watching after 4th or 5th episode because it scared me so much. I can actually see this happening today.
Maybe not today, but in the future.
'do you think we could ever see the creation of the dystopian world of Gilead?'. Why hello Texas abortion law, what are you doing here
Oklahoma has one too now
0:35 "If you didn't know this, Elizabeth Moss is a fan... she has said that the book has had 'a massive impact on her life' ...while not realizing that it's nearly an exact analogue to the so-called church of scientology, of which she is a member. Here's hoping she gets there one day!"
I love, love this show and it presents everything that it happening right now‼️😱🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Shocking but yes 🤷🏻♀️ Nice to see them laughing and enjoying while they film because it is a very intense script 😳🤦🏻♀️ But, is addictive 😂
"Dancing their asses off...literally"??? How do you mean, "literally"?
I absolutely love the cast love the show
I’ll read the second book, but it’s hard to read a book after you watch the show because I already know what happens. But reading the book first, then watching the show I can do.
Im almost finished with season 1 and my question is, where the hell is everyone the US defended? All those wars we stuck our nose in (for oil or opium) to “help” other countries who needed our help. Why did they allow this to happen to the US?
Edit: well ig if we had to help them, how much could they really help us? But damn...
My favorite shoe dude that Alfred she’s the bomb I love her!! Can’t wait to watch more !!
Offred, not Alfred.
*show* not shoe
Bloopers that are even funnier than the show
The Waterfords house is in my neighbourhood in Hamilton Ontario.
It’s an intriguing story. That I hope goes on and on.
"An intolerant fanatic commits violence, excommunicates, imprisons and executes, but he is, in fact, weak, not strong, he is depressed by fear and his consciousness is terribly narrowed, he believes less in God than a tolerant one. In a certain sense, one could say that fanatical faith is a weakness of faith, lack of faith. This is a negative faith. "--Nikolai Berdyaev
They have to try to have fun when not recording just so they don't get suicidal and depressed! My God just watching it makes me incredibly depressed so I has taken me until literally yesterday to watch all 4 seasons and I started watching them about 2 years ago , because I have to take breaks between some of the episodes 💔
Is it strange that Yvonne (Serena) is my absolute favourite???
Yes.
Absolutely, it can happen. Be careful what you wish for.
We could totally have this kind of world and in some places it exists already. I know a suffocating sect that treats women like Gilead. But, at least you can walk away without arrest!
Atwood was very smart she knew a scientologist would act right
Small reasonable steps can soon lead to huge tyrannical strides! The small steps have already started!
Yup, alot of the clips were shot here in my home town of Cambridge Ontario. The river scenes are of the Grand River passing thru downtown Galt, which is part of Cambridge. Not sure where the main house scenes were done.
Directors have of the toughest jobs on the planet
Please
We're so close to this show becoming a reality here in the USA. States like TX & FL will make this a reality.
What makes you think that? You make it sound like pre-1967 America was Gilead...
You don't get the US at all.
I think they are so funny, what do you think? 🤣🤣🤣😅
Yo this show is soooo f#cked up...I love it
dancing is good to release tension ,,,
Thanks, great! Your ? Yes, Texas, USA
I loved it❤️❤️❤️❤️
For far to many in the US, the handmaids are the villains.
Do you even live in the States? I only ask because you have no clue what you’re talking about.
@@matcowan1054 Native Texan. Most days we count ourselves as part of the States.
Having grown up a Independent Free Will Baptist, and having escaped the death cult of Christianity, I would wager you haven't sit in enough pews on enough Sunday mornings to understand my observation.
I agree with you. It’s very scary and sad. I’m Australian but my sister lives in the States and it scares me.
I'm just confused by that comment. I'm from the southeast and was brought up Baptist too, but I don't get why anyone would see the handmaids as villains. I assume you mean in real life, not the show...? Although on the show, Aunt Lydia speaks to them and abuses them as if they're horrible, sinful, villainous creatures. I feel like there's a shred of humanity in her and SOMETIMES she feels guilty about the things they're doing. I sort of get the feeling she mostly assimilated to cover her own ass, but, even though she seems almost human at times, I still think she's a cruel and gutless coward. She says it's her duty to look after them and yet she puts them through absolute hell. I guess that's love from some people's point of view. It was the way my own mother expressed her "love" for my sister and me. It's a sickness. Even in her life before Gilead, Lydia seemed somewhat condescending and judgemental. This show really gets in my head and actually disturbs me sometimes, which is a credit to Margaret Atwood, as well as the actors, writers, directors and producers of the show. It's pretty disturbing and thought-provoking. Also, so much irony and hypocrisy. The upper echelon of Gilead "act" all religious and self-righteous and yet they're "committing all the sins" they condemn and torture, maim and kill others for. It's really deep and powerful.
I often find myself mulling over a lot of 'what-ifs' when watching.
@Esther P australia would never have voted for Trump so I doubt there would be much of a show. Also we don’t have guns so again, wouldn’t have a show. USA has a huge sex slave industry, has had many extremist religious groups that degrade, rape women and steal their children. So yeah, we know it’s fantasy but it’s scary that their are people in the US who treat women this way already.
Best serirs ive seen
Love this shown
First season and half good, then predictable and kinda boring. Acting is really good though. Yvonne is my favorite character.
Love this ❤️
Loved the video and the commentary!
Thx
Ah jeez guys it’s not hat cold eh? They are filming on the warmer side of Canada
Seems like a big bold dig at nun culture and Christianity
Yvonne is so gorgeous!!
One thing that I’m so happy about with this show is that they gave Ally Sheedy a job. And her role was excellent for her. She was amazing. I love Ally Sheedy.
@@goulash64 I don't recall seeing her either.
I haven't seen her in any episode. What are you talking about?
Gilead is already forming...it's called Texas right now...
Sarah and Peggy in on show .. wow
Awesome série, I love it
I love Yvonne!
