The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 Finale


If you haven't watched it on Hulu/SBS on Demand, don't read this, simple.

So from Season One, the book season, the show has upped the game and gone from ten episodes to thirteen. Tonight we watched episode thirteen and it was gripping AF for the entire hour.

This season has had HUGE moments, slow moments and lots of BUILD.

Eden was one of those huge moments, Serena's wake moments and the trip to Canada. The show has been brilliant in it's second season, the show itself is brilliant, critics love it and unlike a lot of dramas of late on Australian TV week to week, this is one of those water cooler shows.

Now, tonight, Aunt Lydia, WTF? June/Of Fred WTF? and that last scene! Serena is truly done by the end of the episode, she is broken and less one finger. I want so much for Serena to completely go full blown rebel.

Elisabeth Moss has seriously landed the role of a lifetime, it's honestly one of the biggest TV dramas right now and Hulu are just so lucky to have a massive hit on their hands. In Australia SBS has scored big time with the show. Along with Optus's fuck up of the World Cup, SBS will have a huge week with the final of Handmaids Tale and Croatia Vs France.

I can hardly wait for season three and I am so happy the show got an early renewal. Hulu would have been mad not to keep this tale of power and fear going.

Where will we land in season three, will Trump still be president or has equally bad, scary AF Pence taken over? Joking but America kind of is heading this way right? Well maybe Middle America. Like when Kanye was cool, Middle America packed in.....

OK, I loved this hour of TV it was up there with a Wentworth finale, this was good shit. Well done and thank you for the last twelve weeks/thirteen episodes.
