‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Takes Us on an Emotional Rollercoaster Ride with What Might Be Its Most Satisfying Episode Yet

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 13: “Mayday” I’ll be honest—I didn’t really know what to expect from the season three finale of The Handmaid’s Tale. As great as the show has been throughout its run, the last two season endings have been a little less than satisfying. Twice now we’ve watched June scheme and…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 9: “Heroic” With all of the injustice in the world today, it’s easy to get discouraged. And, if we’re not careful, that discouragement can turn into anger and bitterness, and we find ourselves acting in ways we never thought we would in the name of “setting things right.” Before…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 6: “Household” The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t exactly feel-good television. We don’t expect it to be. It’s one of the best shows on TV right now, to be sure, but it’s not always easy to watch. I’m kind of glad Hulu decided to dole these episodes out on a weekly…

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Continues With Contrasting Stories of Courage and Cowardice

Letting go of someone you love is never easy. But sometimes you just know that, in spite of how painful it’s going to be for you (and maybe for the other person as well), it’s what’s best for both of you. “If you love something, set it free” might seem like a tired platitude, but…

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Continues: For a True Gilead Believer, Betrayal Is a Hard Pill to Swallow

I usually don’t watch the “Inside the Episode” segments that Hulu produces for each installment of The Handmaid’s Tale, but I’ll admit that the final scene of “God Bless the Child” confused me a little (more on that later), and I wanted to see if the creative minds behind it could provide some insight. They…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 2: “Mary and Martha” Ask anyone in Gilead (at least the ones who are there of their own free will and who subscribe to its worldview) about the things God values most, and the word “family” will probably come up more often than not. They would tell you that…

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Is Back to Remind Us Where We Could Be Headed if Things Don’t Change

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 1: “Night” When The Handmaid’s Tale debuted in April 2017, it resonated with so many of us who were still in shock over the inexplicable choice our country had made just a few months earlier. The new administration was already steering us in a direction that clearly seemed immoral,…
