Investors aren't exactly known for taking risks, and Hollywood is no different. Earlier this year, when Netflix announced a sharp drop in subscribers, the world of streaming--and the industry as a whole--took note. If it could happen to them, it could happen to the rest. There was widespread panic. The unrivaled growth that audiences had come to depend on seemed to be coming to an end. But not everyone cut back. Some preferred to calculate their investments, leaning on old classics, titles sure to attract a massive following. It's a smart move, one that streamers had long relied on. Disney has their Star Wars fetish. HBO has a massive list of planned Game of Thrones spin-offs, and studios everywhere are preparing to revitalize old franchises--classics we would kill to see onscreen again. It's hard not to get excited, and it's somewhat admirable to see Hollywood finding new ways to keep us anxious and waiting, ready to delve into the next big thing, even during times of austerity. They know what they're doing. Let's hope that talent carries over into the execution. They're trampling on sacred ground now. There are some things they simply cannot screw up.

This article does not go over plot points or anything that would traditionally be considered a spoiler. But it does provide a closer look at Gilead society, and most of the source material comes from The Testaments. Hannah Bankole is getting older, and it looks like she's reached puberty. We can't be sure of her age, but estimates put her somewhere around 12-13 years old, which would make sense because the average female is capable of getting pregnant around that time. It's well known that older, more traditional societies were quick to marry girls off. Many would start hunting down suitors at first blood, eager to reap the many advantages of pushing their daughters out of the nest. Gilead is no different. We've all seen the bright-eyed adolescent faces, one by one, revealed during weddings, many of them no older than 13 or 14. This is a society obsessed with pregnancy and female oppression. The Sons of Jacob justified the holocaust and slave trade by pointing at the birthrate, declaring that they were only doing what needed to be done to replenish the human race. It was a time of urgency and fanaticism, and it showed. The female experience changed drastically on every level of society in Gilead. Women were robbed of the freedom to read and write. Their activities were often confined to harsh labor or domestic arts. They were oppressed, largely due to Gilead's prejudice against them.In an effort to justify their treatment of women, Gilead borrowed from ancient Europe, blaming women for their inability to reproduce. They said it was God's punishment for pornography, sex work, contraception, abortions, and sex before marriage. A society that permitted those things was subject to Old Testament judgment, resulting in the plague of infertility. Hannah was born into a world where women could be whoever they wanted. But she grew up in a world where women were treated like animals, penned and enslaved, unable to defend themselves. Most were no better than commodities to be passed around and traded. Her experience would've been vastly different from what we are used to. The series hasn't explored that experience much. Daughters have long been considered prisoners, naive and misled, always off-limits. Children were coveted, so they were secreted away and largely sheltered from the rest of the world.Fortunately we have been given glimpses of what life would be like for them, and it's time we started learning more. There's only so much they can fit into 10 episodes. We won't really get to see their lives on film.

There's something about a good bad guy, someone who gets your spine tingling and makes you grab the arm of your chair. We obsess over them. Sure, we talk about how the good guys drive the story, but the truth is, the bad guy looms over the entire thing. They define the path our characters follow, the weapons they use to fight, and where the climax will ultimately take us. And we want them to be seemingly invincible. It's so interesting when things are hopeless. It keeps us guessing, wondering what will happen next. We don't even need them to be the actual antagonist of the story. They could be the main character, the sidekick, or a random part of the puzzle, and we'll still eat it up. So long as they're evil, powerful, and intriguing.Netflix has mastered the art of evil. Many of their original shows and films explore what it means to be ruthless and wicked. They redefine how low a person can go, and they know how to keep our eyes glued to the screen.They break down barriers, creating villains that we root for, or endings that we will know will never turn out the way they're supposed to. They erase all hope, all kindness, and human decency, then they delve right in. They don't just stick with bad people, either. They examine the evils of broken systems, beasts that embody universal principles, and acts so heinous they're too good not to put on film. We see this so often on the platform that it's almost as though Netflix has become a place to explore the darker side of the human psyche. It's fascinating. Let's go over it and see what they've done. There's a lot to unpack.
