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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The handmaid's tale é o retrado do cenário atual em que vivemos de forma subtil, a serie aborta temas importantes e delicados,tudo isso com uma fotografia impecável e atuações excelentes.

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