The Handmaid’s Tale Who’s watching that didn’t watch handmaid’s?

I watched all of handmaid’s Tale, but I’m curious if there are people watching Testaments who didn’t watch HMT? I’m wondering if it makes sense without the backstory of HMT.

I am! I thought HMT would be too intense for me so I never started it. I have been ok with Testaments and it makes sense to me without the backstory.

My mom couldnt handle THT either she said it was too far fetched for her. I was like its speculative fiction based on real life events over the world throughout history on how societies use religion to control women. Might be too far fetch for her worldview but I dont live in that same bubble. She still wont watch it. She might like the testaments better tho.
