5. The Handmaid’s Tale

From the dystopian novel of Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale series depicts an autocratic regime where women are taken away from their rights and put in servitude. Offred, a handmaid fighting to be free, explores the plot as the show features poignant discussion on gender and oppression coupled with graphic material, making it banned in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the state being sensitive to political dissent and female independence themes.
