precision posted:yeah, that was really rough to watch, but also a very good episode. maaaan. Nick is such a frustrating character to watch. Like there's so much he could have done to placate his teen bride so at the very least she doesn't rat his rear end out in the near future without having to pretend he was all in on the sudden marriage thing. Hell, June had the right idea in being kind/reassuring to her since she's a brain washed child that doesn't know any better. I know this show is a dystopian hellscape, but I'm really hoping things start really hitting the fan for Gilead by the end of this season, the end of the book implies that Gilead no longer exists, so lets get to that part as opposed to 2 more seasons of crippling depression.

double nine posted:How is this show? Reviews are pretty good but it also sounds depressing and bleak as gently caress? Yes. It's really well made and the plot is well written, but it is also incredibly depressing. I am personally just trying to hang in there until we get to the fall of Gilead, so all these evil fucks start getting theirs.

Bamabalacha posted:I still don’t think the fall of Gilead will happen for a loooooong time, if st all, on the show. I think the show runner said they had ~10 seasons worth of ideas, including What the fall would look like and the aftermath. I just can't imagine another full season of what we've had for the first 2 seasons, that's a lot of suffering with no "pay off". I sincerely hope they don't do 10 seasons...I know they've got a 3rd coming, but they've also said they don't want to do too much not in the book (said they're telling the book content, just slower and more filled in).

PaybackJack posted:I don't really know how many legs the show has if June escapes to Canada or gets reassigned. I'm already feeling like it's going to be a giant cop-out to have June survive and continue on given the way in which they're sort of wrapping up her various arcs while building up Emily. I agree, I'm hoping we get 4 seasons total, though I think they could easily wrap things up in the next season. Anything longer than that and they're either going to lose their way by having too many new characters or we'll get to the point that the main cast has just gone through so much it all loses it's punch. There's only so many times I'm willing to watch June get tortured, try to escape, fail and be tortured some more. At some point the good guys have to start winning.

Finally finished this season up after being on vacation. The ending was so loving stupid. Where the gently caress does June think she's going to go? She can't go back to the Waterfords and it's not like you can just be homeless in Gilead. I'm guessing she gets somehow snuck into being a Martha or some poo poo in her daughters district next season. I'm also still trying to figure out when/how that general got that Tesla Model X if it's 2018 and the revolution happened like 5 years ago or whatever.
