"The Handmaid's Tale" is considered one of the best series of all time.
The fourth season is also convincing.
The fourth season of the dystopian drama series "The Handmaid's Tale" set an ugly record at the Emmy, the most important television award in the USA.
The critically acclaimed production was nominated in no less than 19 categories (including “Best Actress”) - but contrary to expectations, the tense story about the (former) maid June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss in the role of her life), who it takes on the Christian fundamentalist state of God Gilead, completely empty.
The series “The Handmaids Tale” has already won a number of awards in recent years.
“The Handmaid's Tale” will not win an Emmy in 2021 - but it will win you over with new locations
In fact, “The Handmaid's Tale” is one of the most important series of our time, the plot of which remains as unpredictable as it is depressing even after three consistently successful seasons.
The patriarchal dictatorship of Gilead, in which women were collectively disenfranchised, vividly shows how quickly the social climate can change and large sections of the population can become radicalized - the topicality of the work can therefore hardly be surpassed at the moment.
"The Handmaid's Tale" is convincing all along the line, both visually and in terms of staging.
The characters, without exception, with excellent cast, all go through a credible, sometimes emotionally disturbing development - completely without Emmy!
In this country, the new season has so far only been shown on the Magenta TV streaming service.
"The Handmaid's Tale" consistently shocked season four, because the threat from Gilead is still omnipresent.
But new main locations are also introduced, such as the front in Chicago, on which the Gileadian troops are fighting a bloody war with the remains of the US Army.
This gives the series a varied, dramatically appealing arc of suspense.
