What specifically about episode 1?

when the Congress was attacked and the women were asked to leave their jobs. The beginning of it all and they even said they should of acted earlier.

The most telling part is when people were leaving to go to Canada, are we going to actually encounter this ourselves. God I hope not.

Never

or I can be hopeful and remember V for Vendetta, that is when the people revolted.

along with this paragraph that I quote often: I was asleep before. That's how we let it happen. When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.
I used to hope for a revolt myself, I hope those days haven't slipped beyond our grasp.

brought chills to my spine seeing the Lincoln memorial demolished that was so horrible and the Washington Monument being erected as a cross. Fenway Park a executioners scene.........old highway signs that were stored away. The list goes on the on.

I'll stop now.

with their mouths wired shut or whatever that was. Lots of chills throughout the whole series, remember how out if grasp this felt in the beginning? Yikes.😳 They have done a lot of damage in only 3 years.

It's like the future is here, now. Welcome to Gilead.

Then watched the series. It was so well written, then so well done in the series. Frightening.

The second season was just too bleak for me.

It has become a part of our national lexicon. A movie and concept that is referenced all the time in our spoken and written language.

It’s an incredible story about the oppression and subjugation of women in a theocratic society. It’s impossible not to like it. It’s especially prescient today.
