I have to admit I have never seen anything to envy in the show or the book, but I think that the basic idea is part of the appeal of fundamentalist/strict religions: you have many fewer decisions when someone's telling you how to dress, what to eat, who to be friends with, etc. I say this as someone who was in one and often misses it despite the downside.

But fandom-wise I wonder why we don't see more people who are really into the lifestyle in The Handmaid's Tale. We see a few but mostly we're left to guess as to how many people actually like what's going on and aren't secretly subversive or into it for the power. I suppose that's less interesting, and if you focus on the Handmaids it's got to be pretty hard to find happy ones.
