The Handmaid's Tale, the sort-of-but-not-really-sci-fi series, started last night on channel 4. Its a fanastically powerful book, and the series looks like it will live up to it. Elisabeth Moss gives a still and seething performance, mostly in close up (it also has a striking cameo from author Margaret Atwood). The first episode sets up the world perfectly, showing a strange world that follows a dark logic. I would recommend watching it on catch-up.
