So, I started watching Handmaid's Tale

Watched three episodes. Wow, is it dark. Real dark. It's a little toooo much for me.

HULU to see that. Does it really look like something that our current administration would like to do? I keep hearing that it does.

I managed to watch both seasons, it has weird similarities to what is happening today in the US.

Then I had to binge The Mindy Project to recuperate. Watched the first couple of episodes of the 2nd season and gave up. Just too dark for me. I liked Sharp Objects on HBO though.
