Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized “return to traditional values.” As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, belonging to the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – with one goal: to survive and find the daughter who was taken from her. Also featuring Yvonne Strahovski and Samira Wiley. Review: It's really as good as most people say. - I wasn't a big fan of the movie 25 or so years ago, and I'm afraid I never read the book, but wow, this series is incredible. The society and culture are unnervingly believable, and I love that everything isn't explained clearly, that we have to piece together what happened. I hate when shows overexplain. The use of pop music is also fascinating, especially in the closing credits of each episode. Elizabeth Moss is astonishing. Almost every minute of the first episode focuses on her face, and I'm amazed that her face is so expressive that it can bear that weight. I've never seen "Mad Men," though I recognized her from previews I've seen of that show. So this is the first I've actually watched her in action. I can't praise her skills enough. The third episode of the first season was so gripping that I was frightened. I was shaking so hard on the sofa that my husband turned to look at me. Usually, scary or suspenseful movies are really kind of fun, like a roller coaster you know is safe but thrilling. But that third episode...wow. I was truly scared. I think because of my past history with religion (I was a Mormon missionary in a former life) and because I'm gay, I can relate to the horrible prospect of a theocracy. This scenario is all too real, and while watching this show can be emotionally exhausting, I think it's important and worthwhile to do. And, as a man, I appreciate the scenes where we see that even "loving," "well-meaning" men are still so often complicit in the oppression of women. Review: If you love movies/books about the holocaust - No wonder this show was nominated for so many awards! It’s unbelievable! If you love movies/books about the holocaust, slavery, and women’s rights, and period pieces set in the 1600’s (think Salem, Massachusetts for costumes, speech, and sets). Now picture leadership by Old Testament men with their infertile submissive wives using fertile women (hand maidens) to grow their families. Disobedience in this society will cause you to lose an eye, hand, or discipline with a cattle prod! These hand maidens may have been married (gay or straight), had children, and been successful in their jobs. Everything has been taken away from them. Their loved ones taken or murdered; think holocaust; Germany. There’s an “underground railroad “ that is sometimes successful with Canada as the destination. I watched all episodes from seasons 1-2 (season 2 has 2 episodes left), in 2 days! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Various | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,773 Reviews | | Format | DVD, NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Television/Fox TV | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 3 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Television/Fox TV - **Format:** DVD, Subtitled, NTSC - **Contributor:** Various - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 3 ## Images ![The Handmaid's Tale: Season 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pKGT6Z5DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's really as good as most people say. *by J***D on January 3, 2019* I wasn't a big fan of the movie 25 or so years ago, and I'm afraid I never read the book, but wow, this series is incredible.

But I had heard good things about the series and read The Testaments. So I started with Season One and got hooked in on Elizabeth Moss' take on it. It's very powerful and quite addicting. I am waiting now for Season 4. Not sure how much my attention is held by the constant straight on head shots of Moss, but there is a certain hypnotic effect to the whole thing. Is the feminist message valid today? Not as much except for the obvious warning about how easy rights can be removed. It is also an interesting take on a post Climate Change world. Note the details, nothing throwaway there; the grocery is devoid of excess packaging or consumerist life. It's austere. Still thinking about the predominance of Victorian architecture as a statement. Season 2 gives a view of the Econowives and cheaper lifestyle. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Handmaid's Tale: Season 1 [DVD] - The Handmaid's Tale: Season 2 [DVD] - Handmaid's Tale, The: Season 3 [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/60126920-the-handmaids-tale-season-1](https://www.desertcart.be/products/60126920-the-handmaids-tale-season-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
