For all its awards and acclaims, The Handmaid’s Tale has been a little light on extras.

Although I do like many of the fan-made t-shirts… But I started hearing people talk about a graphic […]
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 […]
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 […]

Get ready for an exciting episode! The Handmaid’s Tale airs its penultimate episode before the Season Finale! So many questions left unanswered. What will become of Emily? Having her Commander die while trying to impregnate her carries a great deal of notoriety. And what of June, her baby taken away from her? How will she […]
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 […]
