Bernard D @BernardBuckeye 2h Absolute garbage. This show and Handmaid's Tail would've been realistic if based in the Middle East. Otherwise, just crazy liberal drivel. See more resistancerising 5 @RT05794993 1d This isn’t Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments. It’s Bruce Miller’s version of it, and that distinction matters. When a showrunner openly states that the original version "couldn’t be made to work," what follows isn’t an adaptation, it’s a rewrite. Core elements are altered, characters are redefined, and the narrative is reshaped in ways that disconnect it from the source material. Daisy not being Nichole is just one example of a broader pattern: this series isn’t building on Atwood’s story, it’s replacing it. What remains is a product that trades on Atwood’s name while discarding her intent. At a time when the themes of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments are more relevant than ever, that choice feels less like creative freedom and more like a failure of responsibility. Calling this an adaptation is generous. It’s closer to a hollowing out of something that once had real weight. See more Peter F @Pfit1990 2d Just like the Handsmaid Tales it captures the horror and intrigue of a totalitarian society and being suspicious of everyone, anchored by believable performances and the scariest torture scenes since Game of Thrones.

See more Mark H. @Hermski 3d It’s very good and love how they’re using Elizabeth Moss in the series. It’s a great show so far and looking forward to the rest of the season. See more Rafaela M @RT95429702 4d Amazing! It’s both fascinating and chilling to see Gilead again from a new perspective. For all THT fans, this show is a must-watch! See more Read all reviews
