As Im seeing in comments, most of the people who have watched The Handmaid's Tale, have not read the book. Because if they had read, they would not find the serie slow and boring to watch. Most of the events in the book takes place earlier in the serie. Also, I want to say that I find the serie as one of the most accurate and successful book adaptation. The story is sad even more, tragic and terrifying but still very engrossing, at least in my opinion. The cinematography and the selection of the soundtracks are somewhat magnificient and well-fitting. It is a feminist dystopian story. I suggest that you should first read the book. If you like 1984, Brave New World, Hunger Games, Divergent or similar dystopian topics, I think you would like it. But I should also warn you, the story is uncanny and disgusting yet thought-provoking and something that might happen in the future. Ahh, I also forgot to mention Persepolis. If you liked it, I strongly believe that you would also love that book/ animation.
