Snippet:
After six seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale, the dystopian baton has been passed to this sequel. Once more we are in Gilead, the brutal Christian theocracy that has violently supplanted the United States and banished the modern world, including women’s rights, via murderous means. But 15 years have passed, and the focus is on the daughters of the establishment – the “godly girls” raised to be the dutiful, childbearing wives of the nation’s leaders.
