Seeds Ratings & Reviews

Fiona Flynn
Praise be, our girl is back.
Guardian
Julia Raeside
The relentless horrors of life in the colonies bring this episode up to a hard-going 7/10.
Slashfilm
Hoai-Tran Bui
There comes a tipping point when the despair starts to feel hollow. "Seeds" is that tipping point.
Pajiba
Hannah Sole
I'm getting a bit bored and skeptical about Nick, as some of you were last week as well.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
It's nice to see The Handmaid's Tale back to form after some uneven episodes and doing what it does best, which is beautifully conveying defiance in the face of overwhelming odds.
New York Times
Judy Berman
Unlike the extended torture sequences of which the show has grown so fond, the scene in Offred's bedroom when Serena and Lydia discuss her health as if she's not there illuminates so much about her plight.
TV Line
Kimberly Roots
Let's take a second to celebrate one of this great-but-bleak show's tiny wins: June's fighting spirit has returned.

Cheryl Eddy
Quiet is an effective way of making The Handmaid's Tale feel more disturbing than ever.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
[It is] a sweet reminder that even the woman who created the hell of Gilead got herself swept up in something she cannot control.
Paste Magazine
Amy Glynn
A lot is going on in this episode, much of it an investigation of power hierarchies in Gilead and in the Waterford home in particular.
Entertainment Weekly
David Canfield
"Seeds" plunged the show into its bleakest depths. It's not unrealistic, given where the show's primary characters are right now, but it doesn't exactly make for the most satisfying viewing.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
That's the real brilliance of "Seeds." Serena and the Commander are so busy punishing the members of their household and stroking their own wounds that they're willfully blind to June's obvious and considerable distress.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Cheryl Eddy
Since the beginning of The Handmaid's Tale, our perspective on the show's onslaught of horrifying, outrageous events has been filtered through June's eyes.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
Boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, it's a tough watch. (The full extent of my feelings on this could only be conveyed by several hundred more Y's in "boy.")
Independent (UK)
Christopher Hooton
Seeds isn't the first episode of season 2 I would choose to re-watch, but it was another very competent episode in what is a frighteningly consistent show...
Refinery29
Elena Nicolaou
I wish Wasting Away With the Waterfords were a reality TV show, so the characters in the Handmaid's Tale could finally say what they were thinking, instead of communicating entirely in passive aggressive glares.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Hillary Kelly
Part of the kick of Handmaid's Tale is that we find ourselves judging women's decisions with the same derision we'd tut-tut if we saw it offscreen.
