The Art of Adaptation
I’ve given you a week. If you’re watching The Handmaid’s Tale, I’m assuming you’ve seen the season finale The Word by now. If not, be warned there are more spoilers below than Eyes in Gilead. Every character made a choice at the end of the season that will have significant ramifications for Season 3. Serena Joy I […]
Read More Final Thoughts on The Handmaid’s Tale -The WordAs we gear up for the season closer of The Handmaid’s Tale, the two previous episodes have shown us some of the worst and best in Gilead and the show’s writing.

Read More The Handmaid’s Tale – SeedsThis article contains spoilers. Reflecting on last week’s The Handmaid’s Tale, I have little notes. Perhaps because I enjoyed it better than Baggage. June is back with the Waterford’s, which means glorious shots that look like Vermeer paintings and lies compounded on lies to keep face. Baggage’s biggest lie, outside of the lie of Gilead being Utopia, is […]
Read More The Handmaid’s Tale – Other WomenThe Handmaid’s Tale is back and as beautifully shot and disturbing to watch as ever. With June stepping into the Eye’s van to conclude last season and officially take the production off book, many of us assumed this was her ride to freedom. Wrong! June Spoilers. Under His eye, spoilers! Honestly, it was silly of […]
