This show is so rage inducing
I'm only at season 2 and this is my first watch ever. My sister and my mom are big fans of this show and have been pushing me to watch it for years but I have been avoiding it because of the main theme (women's slavery), even though I love dystopias.
However, I am finding myself wanting to punch something every episode and I am barely at season 2. I imagine things will get slightly better for the good guys in the story, however it's very very hard. For now the worst things are Aunt Lydia and Serena or the wives calling the babies from the handmaidens "my baby", "my child". It makes me crash tf out and wanting to punch the screen. The normalization of violating other women and stealing their children. Using women who are not in the elite as human incubators!!! I literally can't even watch some scenes and end up skipping through until they're over. This is just the surface of the iceberg that's causing me to be unable to watch this show. I take numerous breaks during some episodes.
I also plan on reading the book. Do you think I should stop watching and read the book first? Would that make me not crash tf out so often?
