This season, the quiet part is said out loud on The Handmaid’s Tale. Season 4 started with a three-episode drop this week, and loyal viewers had their share of heart-dropping, stomach-churning moments, a ride that shows no sign of slowing down. This review is obviously late. I’ve had screeners of the first several episodes for […]
It was a little surprising to wake up yesterday morning to find people in our Handmaid’s Tale group saying that they didn’t like this week’s episode – nothing happened, it was slow… when I saw this very differently. Believe me, I’m not a fan of slow moving plots – I’m reading a book by one […]
I made the mistake of watching this episode of Handmaid’s Tale right before I went to bed, a couple of weeks ago (yes, reviewers get them early. It’s not always a good thing.). For me, this has been the most intense, and the most disturbing, episode of the entire series. And while the Handmaid’s Tale […]
If Season 1 of The Handmaid’s Tale could be summed up as “shock,” and Season 2 as “survival,” Season 3 is certainly starting out as “resist.” Sure, we’ve seen bits and pieces of a resistance in 1 and 2, but now, it seems to be organizing, coalescing, aided however oddly by one of Gilead’s early […]
If you thought Seasons 1 and 2 of the dystopian-but-much-too-close Handmaid’s Tale were disturbing, be ready for even more mental confusion. I can’t wait until the new season starts! Margaret Atwood’s novel is soon to have a sequel (The Testaments, out in September), but for right now, we’ll have to do with this new trailer […]
It would seem that putting an end to Dr. Kronish and his “cure” forever didn’t end well, even with season one of “Future Man” culminating with explosions, deaths and Josh Futterman in prison, accused of terrorism. Turns out, the funny and creative resistance work of “Joosh,” Tiger and Wolf didn’t help a damn thing. The […]
This week’s episode left me in absolute awe at the power of women and the incredible strength, resilience and will we have. The courage both onscreen and off portrayed by Elisabeth Moss was stunning. She is one of the best actresses out there right now and her talent shone in every scene. With a minimum […]
Hulu is gearing up to take San Diego Comic Con by storm next month and Stephen King’s Castle Rock wants to leave a lasting impression upon attendees. Personally, I am very excited for Castle Rock to finally arrive and I have been since I saw the very first trailer for it. Though I might be a bit […]
What a harrowing episode this was! Everywhere you looked, the state of Gilead and the residents we have come to know and love go through unspeakable trials and traumas. And all the while, I keep thinking of Frankenstein, that early gothic horror novel by Mary Shelley. It is commonly assessed that she wrote the book […]
