Haven't even seen it but I'm gonna say no just because well-crafted dramas are coming out every year.

I've only watched a few episodes, but it seems really good, so far.

I'd probably go with The Americans, though.

but overall, I think that The Americans is better than Breaking Bad, though I love both.

The Leftovers and Mr. Robot are at least on par with Breaking Bad.

tbh, I watched the show as it aired, so I'm judging it by my overall impression, even though I acknowledge that there were times that it was a bit slow for me.

she has a huge shnoz

and every single time hulu advertises the show on its main page, it has to be with an extreme close up on her face and her huge shnoz

well 20 percent of the show is an up close shot of her face

what's it about?


A Christian terrorist group called the Sons of Jacob kill the president and overthrow the US government putting their own commanders in charge and make the Old Testament law. The country has been renamed The Republic of Gilead. Fertile women are enslaved as Handmaids, one per household. Their job is to serve their commander and take part in "The Ritual" where they are raped and impregnated. They will then carry the child who upon birth will become the child of the commander and his wife. Rinse and repeat.

Anyone that deviates from the law is either punished through mutilation, sent to a nuclear wasteland called The Colonies to do hard labour, or you're executed. Few have escaped to Canada and Mexico. The streets are lined with armed military personnel. Many men are put into camps. Children are taken from their families and reassigned.

and on top of all of this, the lead actress irl is a Scientologist (and she sees no connection to her character, and her "religion").....

Worst plot ever. As if a bunch of bible thumpers could take over the US when no other country can.

Note most of the plot of the book and movie is seen within the first season of the series. It's been original content through S2 so far.

How high up in Scientology is she? The further up the ladder you go, the more reasons you can't leave or badmouth the group. It's what's called a cult.

And from what it sounds like, there's zero chance the producers didn't know what they were doing when they cast her.

Good show but second season is pretty slow and boring. They seem to throw in flash backs just because, it feels lazy.
