The Handmaid's Tale: the 2nd best thing you’ll watch all year

[blackbull1970]

Season 6
Final Season
10 Episodes

I started watching the final season at home yesterday and finished this afternoon today at home on Disney+/Hulu.

It immediately started off after the final events in the season 5 finale.

Reality finally hit Aunt Lydia that Gilead isn’t what she thought it was.

Serena’s hard headed Ass had to learn the hard way that Gilead wasn’t gonna change.

The season started out showing Gilead to have fully taken control of the 48 states. The US, ARMY is on the brink of defeat and only controls Alaska/Hawaii after being pushed out of Canada.

Episode 9 is probably the best episode of the season with the rebellion against Gilead getting its mojo and rising up.

The finale wrapped up all the major surviving characters status. There were a lot of surprises on how they ended up.

Disney is planning a follow up series to the book authors sequel “The Testaments”. It’s unknown at this time how many characters will debut. Aunt Lydia has been confirmed to be in it.

Looking forward to it.
