Season 1 Review:
It’s a stunning performance by Moss. ... The more we get to know Ofglen, the harder Bledel’s performance hits, until a pair of scenes late in the third episode will leave you a puddle on the floor from what she does in them. The cast is excellent overall, particularly Dowd and Strahovski. ... Riveting new drama.

Season 5 Review:
“Handmaid’s” is in a new, fascinating era, one that’s at its best when it’s unbounded from current events. Attempts, for instance, to tie the world of Gilead to the new American tradition of child-parent separations at the border are understandable in their intent but fall short. ... The show, in its fifth season, excels when it treats its situations as symbolic and its characters as real.

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.

Can’t wait to see more. This is a must watch completely related to what is happening in America slowly. This is awakening and thrilling at the same time. Keeps you hooked for a easy binge watch!

Still should have ended as a limited series or with season 2. The latest outing was just far from its emmy status.
