Well unfortunately for your already taxed attention span and free time: yes, yes you do. The book is wonderful, and the show does it justice but leaves masses of material for a second season, we just hope Amazon decides to renew.

Expanding outwards from Toni Collette’s US politician and her family the show covers massive ground in its nine episodes, exploring the worlds of religion, organized crime, male radicalization, journalism, sex trafficking and more.

We have no idea why – this is a furious, glossy, sprawling and star studded sci-fi that should appeal to fans of The Handmaid’s Tale. ![]() ![]() Not enough people are talking about this excellent adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s best selling work of speculative fiction. ![]()
