It strongly reminds me of her character, Hannah, from Dexter - she played a character who was both loving and sweet, but also dark and calculating within mere moments. The thing about her performance is that it was understated then and it's understated now. You don't see a gradual switch. It's instantaneous. She

Yes, of course.

Undisclosed, the podcast, is examining the Baltimore Police this series.

It was horrifying, but I could watch it. It had me stunned in silence and I need time to just absorb it. A day or so later, I watched episode 5 of 'Dear White People' and the impact of the two really hit me.

I've very rarely seen women singled out for being women, fwiw. Dip your toe in!

I love Keri Russell & she deserves an Emmy like Leo DiCaprio and his Oscar wait, but there should be an Emmy for Alexis Bledel's furrowed brow!

I think that's clear, but do the men not ever question why their junk doesn't seem to work after x number of women?

Wait times vary depending on funding. It's a peeve, sure.

You know, it doesn't matter if it's a fact, it was still patronising as hell. I'm sure you and others wouldn't have expected a floral bouquet sent to your door as a thank you.

This is superb.

In a way, I think the whole fertility vs everything else that happens to these women would make sense if for example there was a focus on being able to determine that any child belongs to the specific commanders they are housed with. If it were an issue of proving paternity, because that's steeped in theology and in

Grow up.

You were patronising/glib, so naturally I wasn't asking…

Wow, you people are shocked when I respond in the same patronising manner to your "Why didn't more Jews leave?" and "You can't just move the country" comments.

I've just realised that Offred's been at Commander Frank's for a year… because the one eyed lady has given birth. I really dislike the pace of the timeline on the show. Also, though Offred seems passive, it surprised me that she had some agency (more than in the book, presumably), eyeing the driver and being frank

There have been a lot of statistics which show it's far more cost effective than treatment in the US.

Same, especially the last paragraph. I can't help but watch ER/Grey's Anatomy etc when I know that simple childbirth in the US is a five figure sum, let alone if you have multiple complex health conditions/needs.

As someone who hasn't read the book, it definitely comes across as implausible. I reckon the book probably seems more convincing and plausible than the TV show.

You replied to me - check your first comment. Patronising 'aggressive asshole' sums it up.

The issue isn't the order of events per se - it's that the setting doesn't work because no context is given and the pace is way too quick. We don't get to see how it got the way it did, what Serena's role was, etc. From the perspective of someone who hasn't read the book, if it would have been better if they spent the
