Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
It's been revealed that Alexis Bledel will play Ofglen, a fellow handmaiden and companion to Offred, played by Elisabeth Moss. Ofglen seems to be a loyal follower of the system but is really subversive and is also a lesbian.
Also in the cast is Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley, and Madeline Brewer.

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
thanks...it looks pretty depressing to me...but it has Yvonne Strahavski in it, so I might give it a shot just because of that...

Re: The Handmaid’s Tale
It's a bit of a dystopia so might be a little depressing but it can only go up from there
