The Handmaid's Tale: Seasons 1 - 4 RECAP 

@@nicks.4276 Yes, but you can still be curious and interested in the story. Similar to wanting to watch a horror movie because it has a good plot but you’re too scared to watch the whole thing. Recaps by someone else are easier and less scary.

I’m also curious but it’s just too graphic for me. Surviving something similar is tough enough but shows like this really enable a lot of processing. That’s why it’s good in a summary. But in detail it can become far to overwhelming. Just do what you are able to my dear! I wish you well on your journey towards healing. I’m healing too. ❤

@@nicks.4276 Your comment was completely unnecessary 😊

@@Picachki exactly what I feel about Hannibal. Like, the story intrigues me but I was kind of scarred by the first episode, so respectfully, I did not continue.

and robbing the streaming giants of views ;-)

and yes, I love a good robin hood story. It's nice to have recaps on the market - good shows - (shows worth watching and re-watching) will find their deserved views anyways. Such a good recap can serve not only as a time saver, but also as the best quality trailer for shows which have figurative legs to stand on.

I was just about to say this! Holy crap, this is a talent in and of itself!

@@michalrehacek3462 Why robbing stream giants? I always watch these recaps when the new season lands. I would never rewatch the whole series just for recap and refreshing the story, that would be too much wasted time, but quick recap before hopping to next season? Why not.

I was exactly the same! Having to many near-escapes and then being brought back started to get to me and I had to stop watching it because it was starting to take a toll on my mental health

@@sharayahkristell I clearly understand what you mean ! It was exhausting and it made us anxious as hell...

Lol omg saaame. June's near escapes almost gave me heart failure. Now I know that she made it out, I think I'm gonna finish it.

I almost finished season two but I gave up. Just couldn't take it seriously anymore. It felt like I was just watching misery for the sake of it. It started feeling gratuitous and nonsensical. Hey at least the plot actually went somewhere.

YESS It was very annoying but I pushed though it. Luckily seasons 3 and 4 move the story forward and she does escape

...and she still does the stare in season 5

There is no joy in the story telling as it was five years of tears and grief as if people were living in the Third Reich. If I want to be depressed 24/7, then I'll return to the ghetto where I grew up!

Recap of the Wire would be great, but still highly recommend everyone watch the entire series.

yes

Would LOVE to see ManOfRecaps recap the wire 😎

The Wire is a must watch.

just watch it man. so you see how real poh-lease work

I don't think they should watch this, but rather watch documentaries of hospitals made to take care of brides in the Middle East who have tried to light themselves on fire to escape forced marriages. See, liberal American women think that America is living in the Handmaid's Tale now because, oh no, there are laws regarding when abortions can happen. Or oh no. They get catcalled and the police do nothing. They have no comprehension how lucky we have it in this country. I know Indian women are high risk in a lot of ways in India, too :/ They literally dressed up in those dresses and sat out on our highest court's steps because they didn't want abortion rights to be determined at state level. Yeah, that's right. Abortion wasn't 'taken away'. Every state allows for them, in different circumstances, and people were acting like women are going to be forced to give birth no matter what. The press even tried to be like 'white supremacists forcing white women to get pregnant' but couldn't cite sources.

Yup people going omg if if the Christians took over USA it could be like this. But it already like this in half the world

Lol..in Afghanistan? Did you stop your medication?

Dude, surrogacy is happening in India 😂

You misspelled AmeriStan.

Don’t. Elizabeth Moss is an active member of the church of Scientology which, long story short wants basically the exact kind of world Gilead is in this show. She’s a gigantic hypocrite and you should refuse to watch anything she is ij

She's the best!

Be prepared to be extra depressed after watch this, The Depressed Gamer

@@adventurefaps9571 I'm so excited to cry in every episode lol, it's gonna be so good

queen of close ups

justified rage* I'd say😅

I think it was to remind us of the humanity of the handmaids over the character

How is it too much

I fell in love with this series but once I watched the season 3 finale and June didnt leave AGAIN, I was like, "Fuck this." Thank God for Man of Recaps to go through the whole thing.

@@pistachiopanda Did you even watch season 3? She had to make a distraction for the children and marthas to get away and she got shot and couldn't join them.

yessss

If i remember correctly that's what causes the widespread infertility in the first place - environmental destruction.

@@rhiannebyron1889Well said!

@@rhiannebyron1889 so it kinda a circle 😢

Same! It was soooo excruciatingly slow. I thought it was just me then felt vindicated seeing the 100s of comments online. Surprised it got so big

@@littleman787 Yeah its a very slow show, and extremely depressing. It took me like 2 years to go back finishing the second season because it just messed me up too much to keep binging it. But totally worth it. Cant wait to see what happens in season 5. Hopefully some more dead theocrats.

@@adventurefaps9571 20 minutes of characters staring morosely out of windows, peak cinematography

Wow! The western THE HEROES THE SAVIORS that completely destroyed the Middle East nd colonised Africa nd still doing it.

Just so we're clear, things are bad around the world, but there's nothing as organized and of this scale out there thankfully

@@maestro1298Afghanistan is close, I think.

He's getting there

Like High Boi for example, it’s the memes

LITERALLY!!! Season 1 ending made me livid at her

what happened in texas?
