    June’s anxiety, grief, and guilt are all credible motivations for her violent actions, and Moss performs them convincingly. The problem with The Handmaid’s Tale is that there are a bunch of other stories swirling around Hannah’s, and they are increasingly straining the viewer’s ability to suspend disbelief. ... It’s also bonkers. But unfortunately, the show can’t commit entirely to camp mode.

    Moss remains an aughts-era TV star, deserving all the acclaim and allegiance once given to stars of the silver screen (before movie stars were replaced by superheroes and intellectual property). But no matter your impression of the actor tasked with fueling a hit show for a few more seasons, “The Handmaid’s Tale” is spinning its wheels in Season 5.

    Despite Moss’ best efforts, the show is breaking at the seams when it comes to its larger narrative. ... Unless you’re already a dedicated Handmaid’s Tale fan, you can skip the drudgery of this season and check back in with June when the series comes to a close with Season 6.

    Voltou com tudo, mostrando que nunca perde a qualidade tanto visual quanto dramática, uma das melhores séries atuais.

    Handmaid's Tale is a perfect example in when you get too much of a good thing except this isn't a good thing. Handmaid's tale is a starkHandmaid's Tale is a perfect example in when you get too much of a good thing except this isn't a good thing. Handmaid's tale is a stark suffocating world of misery where Junes long winded shots of emotional duress or Gileads brutality is extended. It's still poetic,well written and made but it's no longer rewarding. It's hard to feel hope when these characters have been unable to change their circumstances for almost 3 seasons or attain justice for atleast 4. It's gratuitous and isolating irrespective of your investment as now a thought out and somewhat happy ending is the only thing that could remedy this brutal fatigue. Season five continues unraveling as it nears the final stretch as a cat and mouse game between Gilead and June sees each becoming more extreme in an effort to preserve.… Full Review »
