Absolutely! I cannot afford any streaming service, nor do I have the time to sit down and watch a show. With recaps, I can listen to them while working, meanwhile supporting creators!
"So you can get the story without living through the trauma." THANK YOU. It's the main reason I can't watch this show, but I want to know the story. Cannot make it through it; barely got through episode one, couldn't make it through episodes 2 and 3. Thank you again. Signed, A survivor.
@@ScarB789 Yes, but you can still be curious and interested in the story. Similar to wanting to watch a horror movie because it has a good plot but you’re too scared to watch the whole thing. Recaps by someone else are easier and less scary.
I’m also curious but it’s just too graphic for me. Surviving something similar is tough enough but shows like this really enable a lot of processing. That’s why it’s good in a summary. But in detail it can become far to overwhelming. Just do what you are able to my dear! I wish you well on your journey towards healing. I’m healing too. ❤
@@Picachki exactly what I feel about Hannibal. Like, the story intrigues me but I was kind of scarred by the first episode, so respectfully, I did not continue.
“Get the story without living through the trauma” THANK YOU I somehow managed to get through 1-3 but then i just couldn’t stomach it anymore. Thank you for catching me up!!
There is no joy in the story telling as it was five years of tears and grief as if people were living in the Third Reich. If I want to be depressed 24/7, then I'll return to the ghetto where I grew up!
You’re such a fantastic story teller! You made each season’s story flow so well and didn’t waste time introducing a bunch of things until they were actually important. Loved the vid :)
Yeah because it was murder. Brutal murder and it’s not justified. Self defense and fighting for the freedom of people is one thing but cold blooded revenge is another. It’s not something to be praised nor do you want to live in a world where people find it acceptable. Where is the line drawn? What does someone have to do to you that justifies you killing them? One could say cutting them off in traffic which led to them being late and losing their job leading to their family falling apart. That justifies killing you. Vigilantism is not good nor humane.
I've had this show on my "To Watch" list for a while but completely forgot about it. This video just reminded me and it's a bonus that I get to see your very wholesome recap after I'm done with each season!
in my opinion, everyone must watch this show. It's happening already in many parts of the world like Afghanistan. It's a privilege to be able to Say it's difficult to watch and ignore. So do watch and support our fellow people in struggling. - A fellow Indian
I don't think they should watch this, but rather watch documentaries of hospitals made to take care of brides in the Middle East who have tried to light themselves on fire to escape forced marriages. See, liberal American women think that America is living in the Handmaid's Tale now because, oh no, there are laws regarding when abortions can happen. Or oh no. They get catcalled and the police do nothing. They have no comprehension how lucky we have it in this country. I know Indian women are high risk in a lot of ways in India, too :/ They literally dressed up in those dresses and sat out on our highest court's steps because they didn't want abortion rights to be determined at state level. Yeah, that's right. Abortion wasn't 'taken away'. Every state allows for them, in different circumstances, and people were acting like women are going to be forced to give birth no matter what. The press even tried to be like 'white supremacists forcing white women to get pregnant' but couldn't cite sources.
Thank you for the video!! I just can’t shake how they only bring back Hannah just when we’re about to forget her, to taunt June and the viewers it’s so smart
I have watched you evolve in your craft from the start. I love how you perform your recaps! I just saw the Handmaid’s Tale recap and I had to share how much I like your work!
i don’t understand how you’re not couple million subscribed channel like oversimplified. I’m a cinephile and i still watch your recaps even after i know what happened.
I'm not sure if you've watched it. But if you have can make a recap on series "The Wire". You're recaps are the best way to get the entire story of a series without watching it and saving 100s of hours.
Yes thank you. I had to skip through like half of season 2 or 3 bc it was just too much. And I love how you pointed out how every single episode ended with June staring into the camera with crazy rage.
I fell in love with this series but once I watched the season 3 finale and June didnt leave AGAIN, I was like, "Fuck this." Thank God for Man of Recaps to go through the whole thing.
@@pistachiopanda Did you even watch season 3? She had to make a distraction for the children and marthas to get away and she got shot and couldn't join them.
Just a small potential correction, i believe the colonies werent a nuked location, but instead an area where a nuclear reactor went critical and spread nuclear waste to the surrounding area - which is why the women are forced to clean up the waste (where they unfortunately pass due to the horrific conditions)
Thank you! I have the worst memory and work's crazy right now so I have no time to watch every season again before the new one. This is why I love your channel. :D
Ooof, partway through season 2 I got so tired of all the false starts on escapes and very little changing in terms of status quo. Thanks for this, I super needed the catharsis of seeing aunt Lydia get stabbed and Fred get beaten.
It was so hard to watch this show, it really lets you see how desensitised to this stuff we are when we hear about it happening in non-western countries, because it felt so much more real and relatable seeing the stuff that happens in places like the middle east and some african countries happening in a place where you are from.
Thank you so much, tis is the show I've heard so much about but never had the will to watch it. Now I can finally understand what people on internet are talking about.
Don’t. Elizabeth Moss is an active member of the church of Scientology which, long story short wants basically the exact kind of world Gilead is in this show. She’s a gigantic hypocrite and you should refuse to watch anything she is ij
Great job! I've been watching this show since day one and you hit all on all the major points! What's really incredible is that a real-life version of this show has started in Texas. Margaret Atwood called it, wrote about it and now it's here for real. The war on women just got a whole lot worse. We need more Junes.
I'm glad I just watched & absorbed this video lol. When the 1st season came out I quit by episode 5. It was just a lil too much of a slow burn for me. My ADD got the best of me. But now I can watch the new season & not be completely lost. This is probably the only show I'll ever just watch a recap of the 1st 4 seasons then start at 5 😄 oh well. This recap was excellently done!
Thanks for this! I watched season one and really enjoyed the worldbuilding, intrigue, and acting. But I couldn't stomach the amount of time and focus given to the violent scenes. So it's nice to know how things went from where I l left off.
@@littleman787 Yeah its a very slow show, and extremely depressing. It took me like 2 years to go back finishing the second season because it just messed me up too much to keep binging it. But totally worth it. Cant wait to see what happens in season 5. Hopefully some more dead theocrats.
June is the most aggravating pov person ever. She gets so many killed or tortured by being obnoxious and her plot armor means she gets away with everything
Thank you. I tried to watch this several times and I could only get so far. No one would watch it with me and I was too horrified to continue. I read the book when it came out in the 80s and I remember Margaret Atwood saying that everything in the book has happened/is happening somewhere in the world.
THANK YOU!!! I have watched every episode of THT. But the heavily spaced out seasons, binging so many other shows & cV1️⃣9️⃣ I had forgotten some things. ThxU your recaps are 🔥🎆🧨💥❤️🔥💯🤩✌️🥂
Best recap! I’ve watched a bit of the first season but it was too much drama for me and I couldn’t watch it around my kids but I really wanted to know what happened! Thanks for the recap!
Fortunately, I remembered pretty much everything, but this recap was a nice refresher. It's weird how I remember all seasons that I watched many years ago, but I couldn't remember a single thing for some other series.. like Yellowjackets for example.
This show used to be so good. But how June somehow inexplicably survived all these impossible situations where anyone else would die horribly is ridiculous. Bad story-telling is bad.
The very best part of your recap, and the reason that I stopped watching the show during season three: "90% of the show is close-ups of June's face." 😄 Elizabeth Moss probably demanded that in her contract, but, jeez, it nakes the series unwatchable! So, thank you for catching me up on the show!
No way you managed to talk like that in normal speed, without speeding your own voice up. Really good work anyway! My head is dizzy from all the information, delivered Matrix like. "I know Kung-Fu"
Best part of the entire first season is when June gives birth because no marrer how much her obsession and control and cruelty are, she doesn't get her "birth ritual" she doesn't get to see the baby born, she doesn't get to cut the cord, doesn't get to hear that first cry. It was DELICIOUS knowing she was denied that part of it.
@photonenplayer They didn't execute her in the book either. The ending was left up to interpretation when she got in that van. In the movie that came out in the 90's, she had somewhat of a happy ending because people on the outskirts of society, not controlled by Gilead, helped her and she lived there, pregnant, in a trailer with them. This series takes it further because they have the ability to do much more with more seasons, and instead of just giving her an ending they kept going with the story. The end of season 1 when her and the other handmaids are punished for disobeying, but not killed, is realistic in my opinion; they all disobeyed and it would be stupid for Gilead to kill them off when their whole purpose is control. It's not just "plot armor". Sure, there are instances where June was a lot luckier than most in terms of surviving, but she definitely paid the price for it in other ways and was tortured etc etc. The Waterfords didn't kill her because they needed her alive. Serena wanted the baby more than anything, and killing her would endanger her and Fred's place in society.
I don't think June will have a happy ending but I'm still wishing the end of last season implies Nick ans June get more time together. I ship them so bad
THANK YOU!! This show became a massive, traumatic waste of my time after season 1, it was ridiculous...But I still wanted to see what would happen. I gave up watching after season 2. Your recap is perfect and hilarious 😂 Can't believe they mangled Margaret Atwood's story so badly. Insane.
Great recap - thanks @Man Of Recaps. The show got really silly after series 1, then with June going back to the US - it's like they couldn't let the lame trope of the crazy deranged woman-on-a-mission-woman go.
I quit watching after the end of season 2, it just got too ridiculous, but I'm glad I could quickly see how the story went after. Thanks for the recap!

@@casie6609 Just her going through with this massive escape plan a bunch of people risked their lives to create for her only to bail at the last minute.
@@ryan_here_we_go How was it ridiculous?
@@ryan_here_we_go I felt the same way!!! I stopped around the same time as well.
@@ryan_here_we_go everything that gets off book is not going to be great unfortunately. Nothing meets the original owner's true feelings of the characters
I watched it, all, I liked it 😊
