Gilead gets more and more bizarre. I keep wondering, how did it sink this low in such a short time? How did the will of what had to be a fairly small minority get imposed on the larger majority so quickly and so thoroughly? Who designed all those dresses and uniforms? Whose house are the […]
People are not meant to handle this much trauma. Children ripped from parents’ arms, men and women tortured and killed for beliefs, or for resisting, or for…. nothing. And master manipulators can take that trauma, and turn it into crushing guilt, and turn that guilt into acceptance and even fanaticism. This episode of The Handmaid’s […]

It’s hard to believe we only have two episodes left for this first season of The Handmaid’s Tale! This show has truly touched nerves and created a lot of discussion. This week’s episode is sure to do more of the same. Official synopsis: Offred embarks on a dangerous mission for the resistance. Janine moves to a […]
This week’s episode, Jezebels, was an emotional low for many characters. And the holy Sons of Jacob showed their lowest side – while I know there are truly good religious people in the world, none of them seem to be represented in The Handmaid’s Tale. As opposed to the episode a few weeks ago that […]
