It's about WHY June went back. It's about WHY Mrs Waterford gave her the baby. It's about IF Emily got out with the baby. It's about WHAT happened to the Marthas. It's about WHAT COMES NEXT.

IT looks tedious AF. This show deals in constant and consistent misery. Set a date for it to end for narrative purposes to give it a drive it needs and lost in S2

Wow. Guess you didn't get preview screeners then! I would have expected more than a snarky statement from someone who hasn't seen the new series. BAD look for a reviewer, really - though l should ask: are you still at TVNZ?

I know some people found S2 heavy going. There were a lot of pretty confronting visuals matched with some really confronting ideas. It was not "easy" tv, especially with what has been going on in the world over the last few years.

S3 - from what l've seen of it - has taken that onboard. There's not the violent imagery that some past episodes have shown us. We *know* what goes on in Gilead, we knows the offensive ideas behind it. S3 is about bringing it down through the connections forged living thru that.

Interesting, you seem to be opposite to this. https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/113251659/some-grim-news-about-the-handmaids-tales-new-season-its-getting-boring … But like I say, different viewpoints are what make us, so it's not snark, merely that in these days of much to watch, I'm not sure, based on S2, I can wager 13 hours of a slog when there's other stuff to view.

Not so much of a review as a poorly done synopsis; and I'm thinking by someone who may not have being paying much attention, or is just blind to the nuance of the story. But then again - Atwood has always been more popular with women. And the series has kept a lot of her style.

You know Darren, l find it odd that after l state an opinion on something i've seen, you tell me why l'm wrong though you haven't seen it. Then after we talk, you double down with someone else's opinion. Why? Surely your opinion is enough? Otherwise why comment in the 1st place?

Not the way I'd done it - this is not an attack, Sarah; it's a discussion of views and how S3 doesn't entice me based on what I endured of 1 and 2. I was merely passing the other one on so you could see what others were saying having seen it. It's not an affront.
