This isn't a show about a woman running away anymore. This is a show about women fighting back.
A furious and emboldened June embodies an entire resistance movement. She and her fearless fellow handmaids validate the rage of women who not only feel disenfranchised but targeted, and the characters fight back.

The season is messy but the end is amazing. It is all so real. I am looking forward for the season 4 and believe it should be the last one.
Report
SEASON 3
Season 3 hits a series of familiar notes. ... When season 3 does venture into unfamiliar areas, it retreats quickly.
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.
The six new episodes are littered with elements to admire and respect when you aren't bogged down in feeling like a show that once appeared to have a lot to say is no longer participating in the conversation on the same level.
What’s strange about “Handmaid’s Tale” three seasons deep is that it keeps hammering home its greatest hits to the detriment of the possible new avenues it could explore. ... Bledel remains a standout as she portrays Emily’s hesitation and longing. ... Her story is the kind of intimate horror that “The Handmaid’s Tale” once excelled at homing in on, but in its determination to make June a #resistance figure, it keeps leaving its most potentially effective moments by the wayside.
Maybe the second half of the season will turn things around. Unfortunately, six hours is a long time to slog through a story that just seems to get more and more depressing. June glaring into the camera with apparent promises of revolt, backed by a revolutionary-themed rock song (which happens more than once), doesn’t count as actual plot progression.
A major disappointment. It tries way too hard to be either a Sci-fi or a thriller. Seasons 1 and 2 were, great, but this one is a letdown. How did they fit so many plot holes? It's a mess. I hope Season 4 will fix these issues in 2021.

SEASON 3
I was waiting for season 7 so much, and I am so disappointed. It looks like the makers ran out of ideas and everything just stalls. June's behavior becomes erratic with no point or direction, Serena keeps moving like a pendulum from being good to being evil, Emily suddenly goes into an emotional stupor, etc.
