The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.

The ending was very disappointing to me. I already knew
Considering the show went off book like GoT, it was vastly superior. Looking forward to watching The Testaments.

Well, I guess June is over Nick...really thought she was going to do a last minute shout out.
Nah! Bigger picture and he betrayed her first. I think the agony of doing so was done well. She knew she was sending her daughter's father to his death. That's tough, betrayal or not.
