One thing is certain about "Birth Day" the second episode of The Handmaid's Tale. It is better than the premiere episode in all aspects. The episode has a lot of humor, considering the show is for the most part, dark, morbid and tortorous. It also expands the characters storylines, making the viewer care for each of them more than they did by the end of the premiere.
We actually get an incredibly detailed episode, showing us the daily schedules of the different Handmaids. We see what they go through, and the torture that is inflicted upon them every single day. There are several phenonenal performances throughout the episode, which makes the episode even better.
Overall, each episode is getting better and better. The show has getting a better grip on it's characters, and the overall storyline. Count me in.
Episode 2: "Birth Day"= 93% -5 points taken off for being slow
