This week's episode reads a fairly excruciating eight on the grim scale, taking into account the diseased inmates, hanging academics and crucified Marisa Tomei.

There are hints that the show wants to make more of Ann Dowd, as any show would. Her Aunt Lydia is a fascinating amalgam of contradictions.

B+

That added richness contributes heavily to the sense that this episode belongs to Emily, and not to June, and it's that sense that bodes most positively for this season, and for the future of The Handmaid's Tale as a whole.

5/5

'Unwomen' may have taken a step back to reveal those judgemental motivations, but its captivating sense of purpose means that it will always exceed expectations.

It may be difficult to watch but The Handmaid's Tale does something that is so rare for a show to do - it makes us feel right down to our very core.
