The soundtrack is bad use of contemporary music and completely heavy handed.

My issue with the soundtrack isn't the lyrics, I honestly don't pay attention. It is just after having a downer of an episode, these upbeat pop/rock songs really just seem to not fit the tone of the show. Honestly a nice instrumental piece or some classical music would suit most of these endings much better. For a very solid show, the use of music at the end of the episodes is the worst part.

They're also pretty inconsistent with how strictly Offred is held to the handmaid rules inside or outside the Waterford residence but that just might be sloppy mistakes or things done for plot convenience.

I don't think that's an inconsistency. There are people who lead perfectly fine and satisfactory lives in North Korea or other countries ruled by dictators. The rules for the general population aren't necessarily enforced on the higher ups and the Waterfords are pretty high up there (though it doesn't seem like they're the highest)./
