    Although The Handmaid's Tale season 6 gets off to a rough start, it does start to get better in its latter half. I found the series to be a lot more engaging when June began to take a more active role in the story.

    In other words, “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 6 delivers on the promises it’s been making since the beginning, for better and for worse.

    Hulu only provided eight of the final 10 episodes for review. But so far, it’s barely deviating from the repetitious story arcs it’s cycled through over the last three seasons, intent on sticking to whatever path it’s set up for itself long, long ago.

    If the gore is gone, there isn’t much to take its place. There are moments during these new episodes when a keener satirical edge might have made all the difference. But while it refuses the easy bait of drawing parallels between Gilead and Donald Trump’s White House, the alternative is to slog through the motions.
