5. What Is 'the Handmaid's Tale' About?

The Handmaid’s Tale is based on Margaret Atwood’s namesake novel. The series introduces viewers to Gilead, a totalitarian society that has taken over part of what was formerly known as the United States. The dystopian story follows June (AKA “Offred”), a mother and wife who’s separated from her family and forced to become a Handmaid, which puts a disgusting twist on surrogacy.
