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 […]
The greatest loves have some of the most unimagineable sacrifices the human soul can endure. When to give up and surrender when it appears all is lost. Or that a better fate awaits at the end of a long road. With Seaon 2’s final episode of The Handmaid’s Tale, it is a testimony to the […]
The Season 2 Finale of The Handmaid’s Tale will have you gasping at the developments that have happened in Gilead in such a short time. Now that Nick is grieving and feeling guilty about Eden, will he and June ever have what they want? With Holly/Nicole seemingly safe in the Waterford house, how long will […]
After this week’s episode, I doubt whether there was a dry eye (or breast) in the house. The show’s continued strength in portraying the incredibly strong bonds that exist between a mother and her child were played out in spectacular fashion. From an opening shot of the beautiful newborn bathed in sunlight to the union […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This week’s episode of The Handmaid’s Tale left me hopeful, The atmosphere of bleakness, hushed voices and quiet desperation made for an hour where there was so much hanging in the balance. I feel like this was a building block episode, filled with little gems that will either leave the viewer very satisfied or frustrated. […]
Is anyone out there crying? I know I was through a good portion of this episode. It packed a punch on so many levels that just as you thought you couldn’t feel anymore, another hit came out of nowhere. From what deemed to be the death of a dream to the restoration of baby Angela, […]
