Agreed, it's gone the way of V (for those of us of a certain age!): stunning opener, great visuals but now it's more of a soap opera about OfJoseph / OfFred / Offtothepub & the Waterfords. If I wanted misery with not much happening I'll just watch Nairo Quintana in Le Tour..
Agreed!I was in the UK last week and saw a sign outside Waterstone's that the author's bringing out another linked book. Attwood only wrote the original, which became the 1st series, but remained as advisor or somesuch on the next series. This time aournd it's really going slowly ... I mean, June hasn't been seen to have been boffed by the new Commander whose house she's now in, which is the whole point of her being there, to make babies?

Watched last night. Handmaids being directly involved in hangings is a new one?
June's daughter will take some finding now the Commander and his fmaily have been secretly moved.
Nicole can't be sent back from Canada, eh?
Is Fred going to become the boyf of that Washington commander? He seemed a bit "close"...
They'll get stoned for that!
Just watched episode 5, and we've decided that we're oot. Nothing's happening, and June's character is just getting annoyingly reckless. Season one and (to a slightly lesser extent) season two were compelling viewing, but this is boring. They should have ended season 2 properly and left it at that.
Just 'discovered ' this; I was aware of it but started watching season one on prime. Really good so far although we are only four episodes in. I'm not really into dystopian fiction but as we appear to be living in an alternate dystopian vision, perhaps I will change my mind. I'm sure it will get progressively worse as these things do (although we are still invested in "Blacklist' 7 seasons in and loved all of House, Sopranos and Better Call Saul, so we have staying power!), but will stick with it for now.

Wait till you see the "hanging " scene... Very powerful stuff.
Don’t spoil it So many dystopian things you simply wouldn’t believe - it’s just so different and so good
