“Nothing About Love” ITF Watch: The Handmaid’s Tale (2017 TV series) episodes 1-5

Bruce Miller’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s famous novel has pulled in numerous accolades, but what is it that makes the show so noteworthy? In episode 198, Luke & James react to the first five episodes of season 1, explore the directorial decisions, what lighting can mean for a scene, the purpose of extreme closeups, and theorize why the show seems to push the envelope farther than the book even did. They make sure to discuss the fantastic performances from Elizabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Ann Dowd, and Alexis Bledel! Join them next week as they finish out the first season of the show before casting their votes on which version of the story is best!
