    The show became silly almost immediately after they ran out of book. June became a superwoman who could take bullets all day and not even lose the highlights in her hair after years in Gilead. Seasons…I forget now, maybe 2-3? We’re DBZ levels of trying to keep introducing the NEW strongest guy in the universe Gilead government. A significant amount of the show was invested in which boy June wanted to take to the prom. Now Elizabeth Moss is a producer on the show so it’s just full vanity project. It’s also leading into the sequel books TV adaptation which…I admit I didn’t read the book but I saw a lot of people saying they suspect Atwood had a ghost writer do it and it sounded pretty bad.

    I gave up on this show a season or two ago and frankly should have done so earlier. For a show with a social message it really does not take that social message seriously. I mean Christ they wrote one rape scene without even realizing it was one until articles talked about it after it aired.
