It\u2019s not a pleasant thing. It\u2019s not something that gets us excited, when there are these parallels and when your character is used as an example of something that\u2019s happening in real life. It\u2019s not anything we take any pleasure in at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does make us happy and proud that we are doing a show that we feel is relevant, that we\u2019re doing a show that we feel says things that need to be said,\u201d she added. \u201cI wish it would stop being so damn relevant, though. I\u2019ll tell you that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does feel gratifying to be making something that you feel like is saying something that perhaps people should be listening to right now, but I also think that our relevancy is all due to Margaret Atwood,\u201d Moss continued. \u00a0\u201cThe book that she wrote in 1985, which was a while ago now, remains relevant and remains important. We owe a lot of that to her. She has talked about how history is cyclical and she has talked about how these things repeat themselves. And that\u2019s very, very true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMad Men\u201d star\u2019s comments follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/handmaids-tale-author-it-can-happen-here-paul-bois\">similar ones<\/a> from her co-star, actress Ann Dowd, who plays Aunt Lydia. However, she said it\u2019s not the \u201cwriters\u2019 intent to mirror what is going on, sadly, in the world and this country,\u201d reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/handmaids-tales-aunt-lydia-shames-sarah-huckabee-sanders-your-actions-have-real-consequences?ref=scroll\">The Daily Beast.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it is to wake people up, keep the dialogue going, talk,\u201d Dowd shared. \u201cDon\u2019t let the small things go by. You know, the line that I find so haunting from the first season is when Offred says, \u2018When we finally put our phones down it was too late.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Elisabeth Moss bemoaned the Supreme Court leaked early draft of a majority opinion indicating the Roe v.
