I watched the TV series but it lost my interest where it departed from Atwood's worldbuilding and turned into a more conventional one-woman-against-the-system adventure story. And while I appreciated the producers' desire to include people of colour in the cast, it served to de-emphasise the extent to which Gilead is a white supremacist nation, with racism and misogyny mutually reinforcing one another. FWIW, I think the infertility dystopias of the later 20th century and today's racist narrative of overpopulation are very much two sides of the same coin, and the TV series missed a trick in not exploring that.
