The Handmaid's Tale (2017-)

Sad masochistic fantasy

I watched only the first season. It appears to be a fantasy to give masochists excitement. The lead character makes almost no effort to escape from her situation as she is put through various torments and increasingly ridiculous rituals. As usual for these interminable TV things, most of the plot points from the first episode were forgotten about within a few episodes.

If you enjoy fantasising about being tormented you might enjoy this. If you'd like to see a character with a certain amount of spirit this is not for you.
