Impeccable acting! Aunt Lydia is a survivor , her character arc is incredible. I'm obsessed with this show as I was with HMT

So excited for this! I’ve read the book after I binged the handmaids tale. Looking forward to getting into the world again!

I keep wondering is Agnes known as Junes daughter?! Obviously aunt Lydia knows but do her parents know?! Surely it would make her less likely to be married if it were a rumour in gilead.

And her stepmom made a comment about jer defective genes and that's where her rebellious streak comes from or something like that.

In the opening sequence the Pearl Girls were shown cleaning up after a killing. Who was it meant to be?

Absolutely shite, I don't think I'm going to watch any more. 6 episodes in and I'm not gripped at all. I think maybe someone who hasn't read the books could enjoy it but now I've read The Testaments book I just can't cope with what they're doing to it 😑

Spoiler - talk of the book

They've softened this story and tried to make it more paletable, it just feels like a Young Adult version to play on the Disney channel. In the book the stadium events are SO much more brutal. Lydia is kept there for weeks and weeks in filthy conditions. Beaten, broken down. She spends time, about a month I think, completely isolated in a "thank tank" and tortured and starved. The shooting thing is set up differently too, they're given a choice to execute or be executed after the extensive time being beaten and starved and pit against eachother. Join us or die.

I read something interesting (chat gtp theory) the chocolate scene is massively important. If Mackenzie has been bringing chocolates back from there for years since Agnes was little and Japan has sanctions against Gilead than what has he been doing, illegal trade? working for mayday? has this got links to how Daisy was smuggled out as a baby? I wouldn't have picked this up from watching

I am finding the show slow going, and it feels like the episodes are over in no time without moving the storyline forward

Agree. Just watched the most recent episode and nothing really happened, it's getting tedious

Just a thought thanks to tiktok. In the new episode when they are matching the girls to commanders and saying how the need to keep bloodlines separate, well a clip from the original show popped up and first we know Nick and June had Nicole, was this recorded or was she down as Fred's child? The doctors also got handmaids pregnant which would have been off record, so could they fully keep things "clean" in that sense, surely it was happening in other places not just Boston.

I am enjoying it so far but there's definitely been a few episodes that have been pure filler with nothing actually happening the whole episode... hoping the story picks up a bit as it will be forgetable quickly otherwise.
