Handmaid’s tale, season 1 rips, no wonder because it covers the entire book. All subsequent seasons were original story and it shows. Much slower pace and generally feels unnecessary.

Jesus, yes. The first season is almost verbatim Atwood, and it works great...as a miniseries. The minute they ran out of book, the entire thing collapsed like a poorly-made souffle. (I gather Offred is now a Katniss-style rebel leader and Serena Joy her archnemesis, which, fucking hell.)

I think the latest season ended with the two of them now teamed up and traveling in the woods. I watched the whole thing and can barely remember much of what happened. It's gotten terrible.

There was a movie made in 1990 although it's rated pretty meh

Half the run time is just close ups of the protagonist’s face looking pissed, and her screaming “Hannah! We have to get her back!”
