I have read the book. It was pretty dark and intense! I presume the TV version is scarier?
OH MY. 
Itâs super disturbing! Huhuhu. I just close my eyes sometimes cause I just canât take it. Huhu. 
I mean, if youâre into dark and disturbing stuff thatâll make you question everything, you should definitely watch it! Haha. 
Iâll have to muster up the courage to watch it then!
The book was too much for me. Gritty but painful to visualize! I suggest you watch some light comedy series/movie/videos after watching the Handmaidâs Tale. Itâll help you to lighten your mood

Thatâs not a problem, I like binge-watching shows anyway.
Hahaha. 
Thatâs what I try to do sometimes. A bit of Brooklyn 99 after an episode of he Handmaidâs Tale. 
Iâll try to get my hands on the book so I could also compare.

Iâve heard only good things about Brooklyn 99, I should really watch the whole thing.
Each time a tv series is talked about here, I think âohh let me check that out.â Now I donât know which one to watch first haha.
Haha yes itâs difficult! The only shows I can watch these days are those that arenât âconnectedâ like Netflixâs Rotten. Theyâre more documentary-style so I can just easily pause and then go back to it the following day and no story will be broken.
But I recommend:
Rotten
Abstract
Both on Netflix. Theyâre not shows but more like documentaries. Rotten talks about the crazy stuff happening in the US food industry while Abstract talks about VERY interesting people. The kind that will make you think youâre not doing anything in your life lol.
Interesting. My problem when I watch something is that I canât stop. I watch until I finish a whole season lol. So maybe this will work for me. Thanks for the recos. This is exactly what Iâm talking about hahaha.
Yeah I did that once for House of Cards. I ended up watching it from 9PM to 6AM or something. I felt like I wasted a Saturday haha but I just couldnât stop!
Another show you can try watching is Chefâs Table! The downside is that you get hungry. That, and I realize how I canât afford those meals lol
Another food-related documentary worth taking a look at - Dive!
It might change the way you shop.
Also, since Iâve seen Joe Crossâ films âFat, Sick and Nearly Deadâ (1 & 2) Iâve went out and got a blender and juicer which we use quite often at home. Especially for the little oneâs menu.
Dirty Money is another good series focusing on the big industries and their shady dealings.
I have heard a lot about Brooklyn 99. Guess will have to start watching this now.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 
Suuuper love the characters.
Regarding The Handmaidâs Tale btw, yesterday, I watched the S02E05 and wow. It was so sad and depressing that I told myself that itâs the last episode Iâm gonna watch cause I just canât take it anymore. BUT of course, weâll have to see about that. Haha.
Star Trek
The Office, Nutaro, Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Any comedy special on Netfix (for the most par), and Nollywood Films (lol)
Is it crazy that I watch Band of Brothers at least yearly? The entire seriesâŚ

Havenât checked this out, but Damian Lewis was in Homeland, for the first two or three seasons. Great actor. Also in Band of Brothers, another favorite of mine.

Does anyone here watch the Murdoch Mysteries?
Not familiar. Is that available in the US? Iâm not seeing it on Netflix or Amazon.
Itâs a Canadian series, I believe itâs on Hulu.
