Ferrets are Cool

Question about Handmaids Tale [View all]

Is it completely depressing? Will I want to commit Seppuku after every episode? Or is there hope involved in this series?
My psyche cannot handle another absolute downer of a show.
Thanks
PS There are two reasons why I haven't watched Game of Thrones. One, I heard that you had not get attached to a character unless you want your heart snatched out and two, the ending sucked.
