    In this chapter, a dystopian future is introduced where most women cannot have children due to unknown reasons. Wealthy families use women called "Handmaids" as surrogates to have babies since fertility is the sole value for women. The main character, Offred, is one of the last fertile women and the chapter shows her present as a Handmaid alongside flashbacks to the past world before the dystopian changes occurred. While the premise is interesting and different from other dystopian stories, the first episode is slower than expected though the reviewer wants to learn more about Offred and what led to this oppressive new world.

    THE HANDMAID'S TALE - REVIEW CHAPTER 1

    In this chapter is introduced a dystopian future where for any reason the most of womens can not have
    children. In this society the women that can get pregnant are treated as handmaid and used by wealthy
    families for having babies. In this oppressor system the fertility seems to be the unique value of the woman.

    The main character is Offred, one of the last fertil womens. Throughout of chapter it show us two timelines: the
    present ,where Defred is handmaid and it is presented the actual state of the world, and the past where it
    show the old world where i guess it will show us what happened.

    I like the serie argument, it is different from other dystopian series or movies that i have seen, but this first
    episode maybe is little slow compared to other series (like twelve monkeys, for instance). However i want to
    see more episodes for knowing what happened in the past with the world and with Offred
