It’s almost May, and finals are fast approaching. We all know what that means: time to anxiously begin streaming a new show. If your looking for a way to procrastinate ~intellectually~ I can think of no better way to do so than by getting a Hulu subscription stat and streaming The Handmaid’s Tale. Based on the Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, the series beautifully expands on the dystopian novel -if you can call the depiction of a society in which all women are reduced to slaves beautiful. In the current political climate the series feels especially poignant, and at the very least will allow you to procrastinate with the knowledge that you’re broadening your worldview and watching the next great original series.
