The TVI Take
The first season of The Handmaid's Tale — Margaret Atwood's adaptation with Elisabeth Moss. Educational about theocratic patriarchy and the specific mechanics of Gilead's system.
The formal restraint of the first season is exceptional. Moss's performance is among the finest in prestige television.
