The Handmaid's Tale season 1

It doesn't stop with good new series this year. After Mindhunter and The Sinner, all of which I saw after the summer, this is another series that I can't wait for the next season. This is mainly due to the wonderful cinematography of this series. Everything is beautifully portrayed, especially the color contrasts stand out. In addition, Moss's acting is unprecedented in this series.

The story is reminiscent of many other Young Adult stories of recent years, such as The Hunger Games and Maze Runner. However, this story feels much more mature and realistic. I read somewhere that everything we see or read in this series in the book has happened somewhere in the world or is even still going on. That makes the series extra creepy.

Interesting that the first season ends at the end of the book and there are more to come. At least they've explored the world in the series well enough to continue with it. For example, I would like to know more about the origin of this dystopia and the backgrounds of some less great characters.

The Handmaid's Tale season 1

A series that was still on my 'to watch list', there has been such a large range in terms of series lately. My first impression is very positive, again a wonderfully dark drama, with an Elisabeth Moss who plays very strong, also a nice dystopian atmosphere, certainly not a light-hearted series, but simply of a high quality level.

The Handmaid's Tale season 4

Unfortunately, in episode ten it got just as interesting at 41 minutes, lasting no more than eight minutes. All in all, season four could have fit into a 90-minute movie as well. Waste of my time, two stars remains.

The Handmaid's Tale season 6

I thought my TV was broken because half the episode I saw Elizabeth Moss's head in close-up in slow motion. All the extremely bad people like Serena and Lydia are forgiven and even thanked for their services in passing. A flashback of how much fun June had with Nazi Nick and the climax we've been looking forward to for years, Hannah's liberation, never comes. What an incredibly unsatisfying shitty ending to what used to be the best series I've ever seen.
