    Dark and satisfying

    Amazing episode. The new wife is great in every way, and the ending was wonderfully dark. Emotions all over the place!

    Not bad, but a little bit confusing

    Not a really bad episode but some details are strange, and the story is not clear !

    This is war !

    A great start to a promising season. Actoes performance is still excellent, and beautiful cinematography. Gilead think that their enemy is Canada, are preparing for the war outside the border, but the biggest enemy is within. Hopefully we'll get a great conclusion.

    Too Close!!

    Just when I thought they couldn't get any closer to June's face. This season's eye-opening!!! Smh.

    Not the same show

    This episode was a huge disappointment. I was expecting the new season for a long time, and when this episode appeared it felt nothing like the show I loved.

    Nothing really happened this entire episode. June turned from a calculated intelligent mastermind, to a brash, emotional ruin who encourages young kids to kill people.

    The story turned from a bunch of religious psychos capturing a country in their madness, to a bunch of evil men raping innocent women. The show got woke, and not in a good way.
