    Here, an annoying point has already been reached because of the lack of depth and how incredibly dumb June's character has become. Here the drama reaches a lethargic point and only to a certain extent can a character be striking when she is only drowning in her suffering, especially when she has already had the opportunity to escape. This season lost a lot of strength.

    Season 3 has been slow (similar to season two). It’s as if I have watched the same storyline and no progress has been made. They need to add more depth and a change of pace before people get over the same dark depressing scenes...

    Boring. Every episode is near the same, June stares into the camera with a 'Oh just wait until next week, **** is going to go down' the **** never goes down. S3 is a snooze fest.

    Felt incomplete overall and silly half the time. I would have scrapped the storyline and made it about getting Hannah. Had to push myself to keep watching. Wbig step down from season 1 and 2

    Despite some horrible storyline through the season, the finale gives me some high hopes for the upcoming season.

    A major disappointment. It tries way too hard to be either a Sci-fi or a thriller. Seasons 1 and 2 were, great, but this one is a letdown. How did they fit so many plot holes? It's a mess. I hope Season 4 will fix these issues in 2021.

    With a different commander we have a new dynamic. We also got the Boomtown Rats singing I Don't Like Mondays, which was left-field. Much needed are these spots of light amid the darkness.

    This isn't a show about a woman running away anymore. This is a show about women fighting back.

    What’s strange about “Handmaid’s Tale” three seasons deep is that it keeps hammering home its greatest hits to the detriment of the possible new avenues it could explore. ... Bledel remains a standout as she portrays Emily’s hesitation and longing. ... Her story is the kind of intimate horror that “The Handmaid’s Tale” once excelled at homing in on, but in its determination to make June a #resistance figure, it keeps leaving its most potentially effective moments by the wayside.
