It's getting very Season 1 Episode 3 in the US right now.

Screenshot from The Handmaid's Tale TV series. June, a blonde woman walks with other women as they exit their office building after being fired. Beyond them are cars and modern multi-story buildings. Other dismissed female employees can be seen in the background. The subtitle shows a woman asking "Why'd they send the army?" This scene occurs immediately after June and all the women at her office are fired due to a new law prohibiting women from holding jobs, as they notice the unusual military presence on the streets.
Screenshot from The Handmaid's Tale TV series. Armed soldiers in dark tactical uniforms stand in formation next to the office building, holding assault rifles positioned near a black SUV. Lenore responds in the subtitle "I don't think that's the army" as the newly unemployed women observe these troops that are enforcing the regime's new laws.
Screenshot from The Handmaid's Tale TV series. Close-up of June's concerned face as she processes both losing her job and seeing these armed forces, her blonde hair framing her worried expression. She's leaving the office building. Her subtitle reads "I think it's another kind of army" as she realizes these aren't regular military but the enforcement arm of the emerging Gilead regime.
Screenshot from The Handmaid's Tale TV series. Riot troops in black tactical gear with clear shields violently disperse civilian protesters holding signs on a city street during a later protest that June and others attended. People are being brutally pushed back and scattered as they try to resist the regime's oppressive laws, showing the violent suppression of dissent. One has stepped forward with an automatic weapon aimed at the protesters.
