I did the same thing not too long ago and had the same reaction. I got through three or four episodes and that was all I could handle. It was extremely well acted and written but in today's political climate, it's all just too real. I remember seeing the original so long ago and it seeming very surreal and science fiction like, but not so much this time around.

The last excellent show I watched, besides the new season of OITNB was Killing Eve. Wow, that was the best thing I've seen in a very long time. I highly recommend it.

I felt the same way about The Handmaid's Tale. Killing Eve was amazing. Sandra Oh deserves the award. Top of the Lake both seasons. I liked the
Split. There are many other British and Australian show. I wish I hadn't seen Rake it's either netflix or amazon. great. The Split was on Sundance. Also on Sundance is a fantastic show written and performed by deaf actors, it has a gay theme as well. Really excellent. It's late, all I can think of now.

I made the very serious mistake of binging the first season Saturday! I kept expecting it to turn around! I got really WTF?!?

I needed an emotional palette cleanser so I watched the entire 15th season of Family Guy!

Honestly? I would not recommend it to anyone in the community at the present time. It's a real downer!

I'll look into this Killing Eve you speak of. It better not bum me out!

I just watched the first four episodes of Castle Rock and am finding it intriguing indeed...

I can't help but love The Handmaid's Tale despite how scary it is. It has its moments of triumph though!

Started the new season of OITNB but I watch that with Jedi and she's not as much of a binger as I am.

On Amazon Prime (via the Masterpiece channel) I’m watching Victoria.

I am currently binge watching Lore about legendary things and how they came to be.

I agree regarding handmaids tale,I think its hard because it is based in America.
Remember Iran?
It was a moder society,util the US helped organise a coup,against the democratically elected society and installed a theocracy,oh yeah I forgot Afghanistan.
Yes indeed its hard to watch,but interesting,some of the lines are true,when she says about all the signs of what was coming,but "we did nothing"

Also Katzickastan now has concetration camps for gay men,

It truly is privalege,when a telivision show can make us feel so uncomfortable,the we just turn it off.

I admit,I watched it twice in 5 days,both seasons,because the first time I was traumitised and missed a lot.

dont get scared,"get active"but Ive been an activist for 40 yrs,I love that their is resistance,no matter,their will always be a resistance.

sorry rant over

Ellen's first stand up live performance in more than 15yrs...

Tig Notaro also assisted with Ellen's newest performance.

A must watch for all of us who are kind to one another!
