Looking up Handmaid's graphic novel, found an article where Atwood said it wouldn't be til 2018, BUT, I did see Angel Catbird Vol. 3 will be out this summer, so she could come with that again.
Now that I'm caught up, WOW! The novel has been a favorite of mine for some time, and I am blown away by the series rendition. The cast is amazing!
I've also been enjoying the added background information. And the most recent episode, while containing nothing from the book itself, fit in seamlessly with the story I know. You can really see Margaret Atwood's hand in this.
I watched all the episodes to date yesterday (it was raining outside). I think it's pretty good but super disturbing. I haven't read the book in years, but I remember the basic plot line. I'm curious to see how this season will end and how it will further diverge from the book.There's going to be a panel on the TV show at Book Con this weekend - I hope I can get into the room! I also got an autograph ticket for Margaret Atwood after the panel. I ordered a new book for her to sign because the book I have is pretty beat up.
I think the season will end as the book did (I don't know, just a guess) since that in itself is a bit of a cliffhanger. Then I'm hoping that season 2 will be about what happens to Offred after that.Based on the nextie, it looks like we're off to Jezebel's this week, so back to the book's plot line.
I really want to re-read the book, but I'm probably going to wait until after season one is done. At the beginning, I thought it was going to just be a mini-series, so I was surprised when it got picked up for season two!
For those who were waiting to watch, the season finale is next Wednesday, so you can start your free 7 day Hulu trial now and watch the whole series in that week!For those who watched last night... did you see the nextie? Looks like they *might* not get to the 'book ending'? Or if so, by a totally different route? Not that I mind so much, but it's not what I would have expected...
