Another dystopian nightmare, we love those. The odd thing is -half of this show is happening outside of Gilead. A harrowing (and cautionary) tale that was supposed to keep us on the edge turned into politics and dull maneuvers.
June gained simultaneously too much and not enough power. She somehow stumbles in all the right places. Her ploys aren't even well thought out, she's extremely lucky for the most part. The story wants to argue that June Osborne is a strong influence and a leader but doesn't do enough to showcase her transitioning into one. It is comical how many escape attempts she went through. I really don't get why she's still alive.
Too much focus is on dictatorship minions for my liking. I want them out of the frame, not slow melancholic music over sad backstory footage. I will not care for any wife, commander or aunt and yet the show runners want me to have feels for several of them
The Handmaid's tale should've been cut in half culminating in long awaited (and well planned) revenge. We got the diluted version unfortunately. Somewhere between season 4 and 5 I genuinely didn't understand what was happening anymore.
