Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Nick Hilton Independent (UK) May 7
4/5
Even though the show can be hard to enjoy (in the purest sense of that word), it has also increased in urgency as it has progressed. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) May 7
2/5
But as the depressive drama returns after a two-and-a-half-year gap for its sixth and final series, the wall-to-wall misery is wearing thin. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Apr 17
The continued existence of “The Handmaid’s Tale” can be explained if not entirely justified by its performances. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Oct 8
It remains baffling that The Handmaid’s Tale turned its back on Gilead’s unique wickedness to deliver a more ordinary flavour of dystopia. Still, it continues to be exciting enough to make me want to be there for the final push. Go to Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Aug 30
By a continuous shifting of the rhetorical focus, Gilead is at the same time too strong to defeat yet too weak to prevail against the silliest, most poorly thought through plans. Go to Full Review Amyana Bartley QBP Reviews Jul 23
I was sorely disappointed with this season. The costuming, lighting and cinematography were absolutely stunning, but it couldn’t save the show’s dillydallying and overstuffing of needless side stories of extraneous characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tazzy L @Tazzylemons Feb 27 Season 6 of The Handmaid’s Tale was hands down the worst season of the entire series. Seasons 1–3 were superb, some of the best television ever made. Intelligent, layered, emotionally devastating in all the right ways. A solid 10/10 era. Season 4 was slightly above average.. not peak. Season 5? Meh. You could feel the cracks forming. But Season 6? A complete disaster. People giving it 5 stars have honestly lost the plot. It’s actually put me off watching The Testaments, which is wild considering how invested I used to be!

My opinion See more Rita A @Riri_96 Jan 15 You guys couldn’t pick a worse actress for main character. By the third season i was done with her horrible acting. Same face expression over and over again. I was done with her face being shot for the longest time every 5 min! I loved the show even though at some point in 3 season gets boring. Dont pick this actress for any important movies or tv show. See more A O. @dandelion Jan 6 It’s the best show i have ever watched. A true piece of art 👏🏻 See more Bill B @BillyDB56 Dec 7 Absolutely terrific series including season 6! Looking forward to the Testiments! See more Cath S @RT00765817 Oct 25 Absolutely terrifying and fantastic at the same time. Every single episode has an edge of the seat moment. For me, in all 6 seasons, every character was either loved or loathed in equal measure. Fabulous. See more Read all reviews
