I mean it as a compliment when I say that this series leaves me drained and exhausted and glad that new chapters only arrive once a month....

The Explosive “First Blood” Promises To Change Everything In ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ (We’re going to kickstart our weeklyThe Handmaid’s Talereview by answering one simple question: Who suffered the most?) This season ofThe Handmaid’s Talehas been an exercise in dangling hope in front of our eyes, only to wrench it away immediately. But in the explosive “First Blood,” that hope may finally stick around. The sixth episode of season 2 finally turns the tide on the dour mood (even more than usual) that has overtaken the series for the past few episodes....
