The book on which the original movie (with Robert Duval and Faye Dunaway) and this show are based was written in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I read it in 1991 or 1992. In the book and the movie, for most (but not all) people the primary effect of the pandemic was sterility.
I read the book when it first came out. It was actually a really good read. I never watched the series because I usually hate books made into T.V. or movies.
The handmaid’s tale is an imaginary novel written by Margaret Atwood a Canadian author. The novel was published in the year 1985 and was set in the New England where the Christian supremacist overthrows the United States government.
My daughter told me about it. I watched 1 or 2 episodes and couldn't watch any more. It's startling how predictive this series is/has become, especially as it relates to population control and the ability to reproduce. Scary stuff.
That was more from the satanic DS. It was designed to make people despise and/or fear Christians and white males.
I hated everything about that show.
