The Handmaid's Tale - S2 • E8 Ratings & Reviews
Set the Tape
Kelechi Ehenulo
Gilead might be a 'man's world', but it means nothing without a woman's heart.
entertainment.ie
Fiona Flynn
Feeling sympathy for Serena Waterford was something that was barely imaginable in season one, yet here we are, alongside June, hoping she is okay.
Guardian
Julia Raeside
Serena's punishment was awful and the apparent fate of baby Angela gave my heart a thorough going over before the surprise happy ending. So, I give this week a solid six.
Vice
Genevieve Valentine
Even though the show is careful about asking too much sympathy for Serena Joy, this is also the episode that exposes the awkwardness behind the show's diversity.
Tell-Tale TV
Jennifer Lind-Westbrook
The Handmaid's Tale remains completely unpredictable, because there are no one-dimensional characters.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
Serena not only took a very big risk to help others, she suffered very painful consequences for it.
Slashfilm
Hoai-Tran Bui
For the first time all season, Fred is ascribing to the "superiority" of his gender that Gilead has given him.
TV Line
Kimberly Roots
Warning: If you haven't felt any sympathy for Serena up to this point in the series, you may after watching this episode.
Independent (UK)
Jacob Stolworthy
When compared with every episode of the masterful second season so far, 'Women's Work' is a considered foot off the brake, its slow-burn tension not dissimilar to episodes from season one.
New York Times
Judy Berman
I'm still not sold on the show's rationale for bringing Emily and Janine back to Gilead, but Janine's story in "Women's Work" does offer a potent variation on the episode's themes of resistance and complicity.
Pajiba
Hannah Sole
It's beautiful and haunting as Janine carries on singing over the credits. Like her, her song is sweet and unaffected. But it's sad; being with her baby is literally all she wants.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 is aggressively attacking issues about women's rights all over the darn place, and I love it with every fiber of my being.
Paste Magazine
Amy Glynn
While not as richly layered with visual symbolism as some previous episodes, "Women's Work" advances the narrative a great deal and, in particular, shows each of the primary characters what is at stake for them.
Entertainment Weekly
David Canfield
"Women's Work" reveals, gruesomely if also skillfully, that no woman in Gilead is truly free.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
It's a long, lovely, rich moment, and the perfect place for The Handmaid's Tale to slow down and take its time. I just wish they'd do the same elsewhere.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
"Women's Work" is a weaker episode, to my mind, one that flirts at all times with being miserable for the sake of being miserable.
io9.com
Jill Pantozzi
June's uneasy dance to survive there just got a lot harder.
