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.

I don't think I've ever been as infuriated on someone else's behalf during this train ride scene.
Seems like the editing has gone downhill...the transitions between scenes is choppy - but after the first 3 eps, can't wait to watch the rebellion unfold!
Just finished bingeing the first three episode and it shaping up to be a good season already. I didn't realise it's been a 3yr wait for this final season, or that there is going to be a sequel.
Highlights so far - Holly and June reuniting; Luke getting angry and wanting to get in on the revenge; June walking in and owning Mayday as a leader. She is so good in that role. Pushing Serena of the train. Commander Blaine and June - she loves him more deeply than Luke. Aunt Lydia being annoying as ever and Janine's new look.
