As usual, I went into this show without much preparation, only skimming a brief summary. It was a step into the unknown, but so far, no regrets. The filmmakers' vision of a dystopian future is intriguing. First, we had Panem, and now we have Gilead — things are definitely getting darker. After the first episode, I'm quite satisfied. The show has a paranoid, depressive atmosphere, and the villains have twisted the Lebensborn program to suit their needs. I'm curious to see how this develops.
