I finished watching season one of this show, and decided to get the audiobook from my library. They had a narrator for Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), Agnes (Bryce Dalls Howard) and Daisy (Mae Whitman), which helped differentiate their POVs. The author herself narrated the chapter names. I liked the series and was curious how different it is from the book. There’s a few key differences, like how Becca and Agnes became aunts instead of getting married, Daisy being Nicole, and the two sisters escaping from Gilead. It was cool to see what happened after The Handmaid’s Tale and the epilogue into the future was interesting but honestly not very realistic. I doubt we will learn from past mistakes and rebuild society; it just feels like we’re headed towards complete destruction.
