I am guessing that they're dealing with high rates of traffic.

That speaks volumes.

It is ok, absolutely. I went back and forth on watching it before deciding I would.

As much as I get annoyed by Hulu's release structure for their shows, I'm with you about being glad it's only one a week after this. I can't handle watching more than one episode at a time.

Not if you pay for the no-commercial option, which is worth it.

It's miles ahead of the movie, but a huge part of that is just that it has time. One thing in favor of the film though is that the casting for the Commander and Serena Joy makes more sense.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I was a big fan of the House Series that aired on PBS in the late 90s and early aughts. They were a great mix of 'be careful about thinking that life was better back then' and learning.

I think that you mean Manor House. 1900 House only had one servant and if I recall correctly, no one was particularly comfortable with the situation.

The 'it's her fault' was terrifying coming just months after Brock Turner.

Supposedly you are…. I've heard that there's a chance that Uber will add tipping to their app in part to meet regulations or something like that…

It doesn't help that the show that Hulu is really throwing their weight behind is coming out before Harlots can even finish.

Simple Minds, after her experience with the Commander.

There's a music cue in the second episode near the end that I literally barked with laughter at.

It's one of the reasons why Atwood has so strongly argued that it is speculative fiction.

Aww, now I'm wishing that he could somehow come back just to use it.

I'm so glad someone else saw Vermeer.

I'm going to be downing whole bottles of scotch by the end…..

Atwood had said that a lot of the book stems from the possibility of the US returning to its puritanical roots. Plus it's fairly open about being Christianity in the book. That's more than a little the point.

This is going to be…hard to watch. When the women in the Red Center chant about how Janine's gang rape (at least that's what it sounded like) was her fault, that's a punch in the gut because we're basically almost at that point.

Although he is the usher who seats Liv Tyler at the end…if I am remembering correctly.
