The Handmaid's Tale Ratings & Reviews
- madz26December 7, 2025Who could have predicted this story would be so relevant for today's society?
- Corey B.July 9, 2025With a premise like this, this show really had potential to be something incredible if they had kept it to three tight seasons as opposed to one or two stronger ones and four seasons of sloppy messy, unnecessary unfocused narrative. The final few episodes have a heavy lift of trying to mop up all the messes while still trying to deliver a satisfactory conclusion.
- stevencaceres245June 26, 2025This series started off so great and it was the only reason I joined Hulu. Those first couple of seasons during the pandemic were just absolutely brilliant, and I binge them with my wife. The very last season was such a letdown, especially the last couple of episodes. Watch it just for the first couple seasons and then write your own story. You’re better off that way.
- AjayMay 28, 2025An indelibly told story about a dystopia that our real world is plummeting toward, The Handmaid's Tale is more horrific and disturbing than any slasher or thriller you've seen. The struggles of women and the atrocities committed in the name of faith and religion show the lengths people are willing to go to either debase themselves to seek power in the smallest of crevices - but most importantly, the self-preservation attitude they always maintain, even when in pursuit of something that seems to affect the "greater good". With the finale, I'm left heartbroken, but renewed, knowing that change can't happen in a day - just like Rome wasn't built in one.
- Arron BrownApril 12, 2025Top show can’t believe it’s drawing to a close :(
- KylachamMay 17, 2025Such wonderful world building, only to be undone by how little I could care about Offred's off-putting character. I want back the 5-minutes PER EPISODE of her close-up, scowling face.
- DrinelsonMay 27, 2025This was an incredible show. I love dystopian books/movies/shows especially if they are spreading awareness of what could be if we continue down certain paths. I enjoyed it so much up until season 5. Season 5 was so boring to me and then I almost didn’t want to finish season 6 but did anyways because it was the last season. This show has a really good run and it truly was a good watch but the ending was very unrealistic in my opinion and not super satisfying.
- Joshua KMarch 8, 2025Completely unbelievable. The dystopian taken to the leftist wet dream. It is gross beyond measure. It's explicit and gross. The writers low view of the religious beliefs that built the free west.
