The " final run of utter despair and soul-destroying misery" is to prepare the USA for what will be it's life for generations.
Unlike Hollywood, the Big Bad doesn't get defeated at the end of the series, it just goes on and on while people keep their heads down and live in despotism until the regime itself collapses.

The Guardian · ‘It normalises the abhorrent’: is The Handmaid’s Tale the most frustrating show on TV?By Rebecca Nicholson

Uno dei miei film preferiti di uno dei miei registi preferiti in assoluto.
Eppure ieri notte ho dovuto lasciarlo a metà (non che non lo abbia visto innumerevoli volte, sia chiaro) perché il mondo attorno a noi sta diventando pericolosamente vicino a quanto portato in scena, nonché scritto tra le pagine del romanzo da cui è tratto.
Tra questo e #TheHandmaidsTale qualcuno ha trovato il manuale di istruzioni perfetto, purtroppo

...5th Circuit decisions, from a ruling hamstringing the SEC and similar agencies to one legalizing bump stocks—the device that enabled a lone shooter in Las Vegas to kill 60 people and injure more than 500 in just 10 minutes—are now the law of the land..."

👉I'd say, #TheHandmaidsTale's #RepublicOfGilead appears to me less fictional by the day.👈

My wife and I have been marathoning The Handmaid’s Tale most nights lately. It has sparked lots of interesting and very deep conversations between the both of us and for me I’ve been finding it a very life changing.

I want to say, particularly to heterosexual married males who live in the United States, if you have not sat down and watched this series with your wife then you absolutely should. Even if you think “I am not one of those husbands” you might still identify problematic behavior that you can absolutely fix. You also see parallels to the world around you that you will find infuriatingly scary. And be prepared for both of you to pause it a lot and have discussions.

"Now I'm awake to the world. I was asleep before. That's how we let it happen. When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the Constitution, we didn't wake up then either. They said it would be temporary. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."
