438: BGN Extra – The Handmaid’s Tale Recap Podcast (Eps 601 & 602)

In this week’s episode we’re back with our recaps of The Handmaid’s Tale. In its final season, we will recap each and every episode.

Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Now in its 6th and final season, BGN breaks down in weekly recaps, our thoughts behind this provocative series.
