The adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale, is set to air on Bravo and stream on CraveTV. Early in The Handmaid’s Tale, author Margaret Atwood appears from the shadows and slaps Offred (Elisabeth Moss) in the face. The Handmaid’s Tale is even more disturbing than most postapocalyptic fiction since Atwood uses history as the guide. In The Handmaid’s Tale, homosexuals are called “gender traitors,” a crime punishable by death. In February, The Handmaid’s Tale overtook 1984 on the bestseller lists.
