I just started rewatching from season 1. It's even more gut wrenching than the first time because this time I always remember Margaret Atwood's words that none of this is fiction, she just collected snippets of history and horrors going on right now in other countries, so now I'm watching through that lense. I can see what happened to women in Iran and Afghanistan etc. In the first episode when Emily and June walk by the wall where the priest, the doctor and the gay man are hanging, the gay man has the pink triangle the Nazis used to identify them in the concentration camps. The first time I watched this series I saw it as a dystopian nightmare, but it's not.

I hope someone blows June's head off. Hate her. (Shes a cheater too. Barring the shit with the commanders, she fell for Nick, knowing she had a husband in Canada that she should have been trying to get to. Horrible characters. Also Emily. Someone should pew pew that cheating wench who didn't give a crap about her wife and son and continually dove into every muff she saw. Hate her.
What happened to her, she had it coming. I don't pity her and actually applauded it. Maybe then she might remember SHES STILL MARRIED and has a child that she should be trying to escape to.
But naw man. There's so much poon around. Gotta get that.
She can't now XD

This is a ridiculous series. Killing a man in cold blood for a crime is ok, but stoning a woman for the same crime against a child somehow is not. Hypocrisy.
Why is not there a series on Netflix about how babies are killed by a nefarious industry that pretends to advocate women's rights, when in fact they follow a satanic agenda.
In the end, the good rebels are imprisoned, because they stood for pro-life ideals. Oh wait I forgot. We don't need such a series because it is already a reality.

Maybe it's me idk. But am I the only one wondering why June has not been killed? I'm just confused as hell as to why she's still alive? After all the she's done. They've killed handmaid's for far less. One woman just wrecking all through Gilead. I just don't get it. I get it she's the main character. But gotDAMN c'mon man. She talks any kind of way to the cmdrs. She tried stabbing Serena with the scaple. She killed a cmdr.

So many intense moments but when they go to Washington DC and the statue of Abraham Lincoln is destroyed and the handmaids actually have their lips sewn shut is stunning. It's so satisfying when the handmaid with no tongue blows up the building and takes out many commanders with shattering glass and fleeing handmaidens.

I don't know about intense but I cried my eyes out when June met Hannah at the villa and when the Angel Flight arrived and Rebecca was reunited with her dad! Literally crying right now. I'm a mom myself and this show just rips you apart sometimes. Motherhood, we never took that into the equation.

the way the entire episode Late made me feel was so unreal to me the first time I watched it. when they pulled the Martha from the van and strung her up, I genuinely felt the air knocked out of my lungs. I wasn't sure I could keep watching.
I knew that had to be number one on this list.

I think the most messed up scene, the most intense of them all, was when Serena smiled in season 5 at the end of episode 2. Remember: she is the one who created this society. It's a moment far more disgusting than when she interacted with Hannah in season 1 while June begged to see her.

For me, the most intense moment was right before Emily attacks Aunt Lydia. Emily is silent as Lydia talks down to her and then, getting no response, says, It's like I cut out your tongue. Emily's eyes flash with rage and she lets Lydia have it. Brilliant acting from both actresses!

Having a husband raping other woman right in front of your eyes, this is so sick in a bad way. And being a woman who is raped but not able to say a word because of the fear of punishment. Sickening.
Apart from this, there are many other scenes that are really disturbing

What about when Emily gets her revenge on Lydia, Janine attempts suicide and when Lydia beats Janine in front of the Commanders and their wives and June literally yells at her to stop and shields a fallen Janine with her own body? They at least deserve honourable mentions!

The thing I hate about this show is that they added things that dont make sense to Offreds character in the book to me. They made her seem more badass but really in the book, shes kind of complacent to me. Its not a bad show I just wish it were more like the book.

I thought the entire episode where June gets interrogated in Season 4 was the most intense episode of the series but one scene in particular, where she's led to a rooftop to give them info or watch two of her friends fall to their deaths, felt like a huge gutpunch.

Let's be real, every scene in this show is intense. The show as a whole is terrifying and portrayed beautifully. I could name 50 moments on the top of my head that had me on the edge of my seat. I still feel like this is such an underrated show.

i watched the whole thing.
its like a over the top satire of a dystopia that is so absurd that its impossible to suspend disbelieve and then the most heinous deeds come across as comical.
i laughed a lot.
maybe the book is better

The Handmaid's Tale is a glimpse of what America might become under rule by the religious right. Red states already are legislating against women, minorities, immigrants, and the LGBTQ. It's a preview of what is to come if they are not stopped.

I haven't watched the entire series but it's very well-done. Easy to come away with an extreme dislike for the male of the species. Mixing misandry with a slavish devotion to religion, Atwood created a dystopian world worthy of criticism.

Honestly: that openingsscene where everyone almost get hanged (9 in this list) makes me cry every time. Just like the scene where they bury all of their handmaid friends (when they are all dressed in black, every damn time

Letting Fred Waterford die. probably the dumbest move made in the entire show. Okay, second dumbest after trying to liberate a brothel all by yourself, leading to your capture and all but one other Handmaid dead.

The train scene was just devastating to me and I can't hear that song ever again without thinking of it. I didn't realize at first that anyone was killed. I thought it just cut them off, not ran them over.

This list could easily have a Part 2 (and 3, and 4, and)
I am in awe of all the actors amazing realism and connectivity to the audience. This series would be an absolute flop without stunning actors.

The scene with Emily and her (nameless) Martha at the court, then in the bus (heartbreaking, cause we all knew what was coming, the horrible hanging and then Emily's punishment just messed me up. UGH.

The reality is reversed. From a forced birth society to minimizing or eliminating all births. Most western countries populations are aging and withing a few generation will disappear.

I don't think Adam Taylor gets enough credit for that awesome, haunting, and terrifying music score. I loved seeing Fred afraid. So afraid June could smell that fear. Yeahhhhhh.
