Season 1 Review: "As a show, The Handmaid's Tale is as crisply and elegantly made as anything I've seen on TV this year. It manages to bring a dystopian story to life in a way that works as episodic TV, sapping none of the book's power. This is a show that could work anytime and one that will likely be watched and discussed for years to come." ... Read full review

Season 1 Review: "At least in the first three episodes, which were screened for critics, everything comes together for A Handmaid's Tale--Miller's script, direction by Reed Morano (who's best known as a cinematographer) and the performances. Moss' performance is arresting. " ... Read full review

Season 2 Review: "Handmaid’s Tale had a tough act to follow, but its second coming soars on multiple levels. It’s intense, heartbreaking, full of resolve and perfectly paced." ... Read full review

Season 2 Review: "It’s become a confident, emotionally rich series--but one that, by nature and obligation, is wrenching to watch. ... Often, though, The Handmaid’s Tale feels so determined not to be misread, to treat its subject with gravity, that its storytelling is heavy-handed and its peripheral characters stiff. Fortunately, the central performance is anything but. ... Without someone as expressive as Ms. Moss, The Handmaid’s Tale might not pull off its balancing acts. " ... Read full review

Season 3 Review: "Moss’ stalwart turn is more than enough to keep viewers’ rooted in June’s struggle. The set design, costumes, lighting, and more formal elements also burst with life, guiding the eye wherever it needs to be and providing a more active experience than the scripts would by themselves. Even with all these valuable attributes, “The Handmaid’s Tale” bites off more than it wants to chew." ... Read full review

Season 4 Review: "Season 4 teases something bigger, a pivot to the future, and then takes two steps back once again. By the end of the eight episodes made available for preview, there are hints of something different and promising. But to get there, viewers are subjected to the worst of the series' impulses, as if the first seven episodes were a thumb-twiddling waste of time. And in many ways, they are. " ... Read full review

Riveting and nail-bitingly addictive! Hopefully this doesn’t happen in real life in the future.

While the show itself seems well produced and clearly has a decent cast - the material on which it is based is just not to my taste... I guessWhile the show itself seems well produced and clearly has a decent cast - the material on which it is based is just not to my taste... I guess for me a 'post apolcaypctic' world has to follow a certain logic for me to buy into it. The world building logic leaps here are plentiful and noticeably **** in their execution. If you aren't fussed about the logic of the world and just want to immerse yourself in a fantasy (albeit nightmarish!) this may well be perfect for you. Expand

Season 1 amazing. Season 2 crashed and burned hard, far too little plot progression. Didn't bother with Season 3.

This show must have ended with season 1. The character June has become monotonous and it has reached the point where viewers want her die.This show must have ended with season 1. The character June has become monotonous and it has reached the point where viewers want her die. Too much feminism in the show. June's repeated facial expressions and her attitude are irritating. She is self centered.. Worst ever show I have watched in my life. She gets on nerves. She is thankless selfish feminist racist women who uses others sacrifice for her benifit. Expand
