Top 5 girl characters show want see turn into a giant again
Washington DC scene where other handmaid walks into the room. June tries to talk to her and she takes of her face mask and sees that her lips were sewed
The stoning for sure!
the stoning of Janine. shows how much evil can be found in religion
The Crossing when the hand maids get hit by the train as they’re escaping
The most intense for me is Emily escaping into Canada with Nicole. When she comes out of the water and Nicole cries and then the Canadian police show up and help her 😭 It gets me every time!
So intense. It got me too when she answered yes to the questions and received a response that she was now a refugee.
Season and episode please
@@rachaelcaldwell6253Season 3 episode 1
The juxtaposition of Emily walking through the hospital & June in front of the burned down house with the Adam Taylor music is 👩🍳's 💋!
I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I saw the RCMP logo on that guy’s jacket
Literally the transportation of all those kids was super intense. I was begging that they would get them out and they did! But, the whole time, I was on my toes in fear.
I cried SO HARD THAT WHOLE EPISODE
Not intense. Super Intense. Gotta say super. Such a follower
Let's be real, every scene in this show is intense. The show as a whole is terrifying and portrayed beautifully. I could name 50 moments on the top of my head that had me on the edge of my seat. I still feel like this is such an underrated show.
It’s underrated because how many zealous conservatives would love to enforce Gilead but would be ostracized (as they should!) if they actually expressed it.
Literally!
No, the show sucked
No conservative would approve of Gilead whatsoever. Stop with the fear mongering. In fact, conservatives would be the first to oppose it, because the oppose big government & government overreach.
And so far from the truth 😂😂😂😂😂 who are the most fertile group off women in the world............THE BLACK WOMEN!!!!!
For me, the most intense moment was right before Emily attacks Aunt Lydia. Emily is silent as Lydia talks down to her and then, getting no response, says, "It's like I cut out your tongue,". Emily's eyes flash with rage and she lets Lydia have it. Brilliant acting from both actresses!
Show is ltierally the Conservative's Endgame, who hasnt realized that by now i gotta as?
Also the moment when Emily gets locked in the room right after she stabbed Aunt Lydia. She's standing there bewildered but smiling and you can read her whole inner monologue on her face, up to the moment when she realizes she'll never see her son and her wife again and despair sets in. Incredible acting.
Serena, staring through the camera at Fred’s funeral with Hannah her facial expression was yikes 😳 I got so panicky
@nenmaster5218 Exactly this. I had no idea at the time when I got mixed up with that lot. I didn't read the book until the 00s and then saw the film shortly afterwards. Then it was the HBO series that really struck home. I haven't been to church since just before I read the book. I was on a temporary break and resolved never to go back.
Seeing how the commanders' daughters lived in the scene where Serena took June for a walk struck home. That would have been my daughters' reality had I stayed in religion but I got out before I had children. No TV, no reading, no cinema, no swimming and no secular music.
I left for the final time after being told not to listen to secular music again. But I hated worship music and hymns with a vengeance. I went away for the weekend in the countryside to do some path building and never went back. That summer I saw the Stereophonics live and later on the Manic Street Preachers. I never saw those people again to let them know that. I knew they were hypocrites probably letting their children listen to even heavier music than I did behind their backs.
@@lemsip207 Yeah, check out the GOP-videoss and Democracy-in-Peril-Essay by 'Some More News'', such people, people who want the handmaid's tail to be real, are real
100% agreed. Emily’s circumcision was the most sickening moment in the series, made worse by the fact that it is happening to women every day in places like the Middle East.
Africa as well but a lot of people are trying to end the practice hopefully they win!
But it’s ok for men right?
@@Chad-Giga.No one said that. And female circumcision often involves the complete removal of the clitoris to prevent a woman from feeling any pleasure.
@@KyleFisher-HickmanAre you dense? Excision is the removal of the clitoris: it's like removing the GLANS of the penis. It's way, way more painful
@@KyleFisher-Hickman no
So many intense moments but when they go to Washington DC and the statue of Abraham Lincoln is destroyed and the handmaids actually have their lips sewn shut is stunning. It's so satisfying when the handmaid with no tongue blows up the building and takes out many commanders with shattering glass and fleeing handmaidens.
The most intense moment for me was when June went into labour on her own after seeing Hanna at the lake house.
I remember sitting in my living room yelling "Breath, breath, breath!! Push, push, push!" Along with the handmaids.
And when they cut from her lying there smiling with her babygirl in her arms right to the Waterfords' house with Serena tending to the baby, that was a gut punch
I don't think Adam Taylor gets enough credit for that awesome, haunting, and terrifying music score. I loved seeing Fred afraid. So afraid June could smell that fear. Yeahhhhhh.
It's a great show, but too intense for me. I always end up feeling sad and depressed after every episode
Yeah that happens to me too. This is by far one of the best shows of all times in terms of photography, acting and scriptwriting. Such a masterpiece. And the thing that makes it good is the fact we can connect to the characters
Me too. That's why I didn't want to watch S5. I didn't want to spoil the high from S4 ending coz I just knew that things would go south in S5... I watched S5E01 a yr after it came out and immediately regretted it 😢 that scene where Serena stands with Hannah at Fred's funeral service and she gives the camera a lil smile 😭😭😭🥵🤧
I watched the rest of the season in recaps coz I could not put myself thru that anxiety again 😰😣
All those horror movies out there and this is definitely the scariest.
as an ex muslim girl who lives in egypt (which is an islamic country ruled by islamic law), i relate to june and the handmaid's tale tears me up and sends chills down my spine
As a malaysian we're so indoctrinated on islamic values here, I'm still figuring what's acceptable in the modern world and what is not. Fuck this plague of a cult.
I hope you can get out of Egypt and spread the word about how bad life is under Islamic law. Come to Europe!
I don't know about intense but I cried my eyes out when June met Hannah at the villa and when the Angel Flight arrived and Rebecca was reunited with her dad! Literally crying right now...I'm a mom myself and this show just rips you apart sometimes. "Motherhood, we never took that into the equation."
Omg I was a wreck at those two bits!
I was a wreck form the get go, when Hannah and June get separated. I think every mom feels it..I would become exactly like June if someone took my boy away. A rage machine.
I thought the entire episode where June gets interrogated in Season 4 was the most intense episode of the series but one scene in particular, where she's led to a rooftop to give them info or watch two of her friends fall to their deaths, felt like a huge gutpunch.
emily and her lover’s story absolutely deserved #1, thank you.
Sometimes I think I'd love to see the whole story narrated from Emily's point of view. She is also full of rage just like June but there seem to be more layers to her emotions and you can read everything on her face. She's an incredible actress
the way the entire episode "Late" made me feel was so unreal to me the first time I watched it. when they pulled the Martha from the van and strung her up, I genuinely felt the air knocked out of my lungs. I wasn't sure I could keep watching.
I knew that had to be number one on this list.
Having a husband raping other woman right in front of your eyes, this is so sick in a bad way. And being a woman who is raped but not able to say a word because of the fear of punishment. Sickening.
Apart from this, there are many other scenes that are really disturbing
Thanks for the recap before S5!!!! Blessed be the Fruit!
May the Lord open! The first and second episodes of season 5 did not disappoint!
@@stacyragland3123 Under his Eye 👁
I think the most messed up scene, the most intense of them all, was when Serena smiled in season 5 at the end of episode 2. Remember: she is the one who created this society...It's a moment far more disgusting than when she interacted with Hannah in season 1 while June begged to see her.
I watch the whole series at least 20x every time a new season comes out plus dozens of times in between and every single time it's an emotional climatic experience....all 100x I've watched every episode!!
Seriously, Fred's exhilarating death is at #6? It should be number 1!
Yep totally agree 💯🙂
Fred, as disgusting and perverse and twisted as he was, was not the problem. He was an enabler, but he wasn't the one who CREATED this society. It was Serena...and the men of Gilead just used it to their advantage.
"RUN" ICONIC ❤😂
Also the scene where June sees the girl with the sewn up mouth....
yEs! and the scene where offered is forced to stay in the hospital until Natalie gives birth or dies and she slowly goes more insane
@@rhiannn3416Heaven is a place on earth.
@@rhiannn3416 I didn't like the June she had become in that episode.
What about when Emily gets her revenge on Lydia, Janine attempts suicide and when Lydia beats Janine in front of the Commanders and their wives and June literally yells at her to stop and shields a fallen Janine with her own body? They at least deserve honourable mentions!
This show is an example of HOW you keep going after you exhaust the book’s storyline. Lookin at you GOT!
This woman’s work really made that scene, cry every time I hear it
I definitely rank Fred's death and Esther's taking vengeance among the best (and cathartic) revenge kills right up there with the many best revenge kills on Game of Thrones.
Yes, me and my mom were celebrating about Fred's death which we were not expecting when she whistle all the girls come together and beat Fred to death. I'm hoping a surprise happening next season, I just can't wait for what going to happen next season.
Nice hear that
Loved reading the books and watching all the episodes up till now, can't wait for the new season!
The mass nooses at Fenway was beyond my capacity to process - the idea of mass executions at a stadium, a place of fun and joy, was terrifying
Same with drowning eden in a school swimming pool
I just started rewatching from season 1. It's even more gut wrenching than the first time because this time I always remember Margaret Atwood's words that none of this is fiction, she just collected snippets of history and horrors going on right now in other countries, so now I'm watching through that lense. I can see what happened to women in Iran and Afghanistan etc. In the first episode when Emily and June walk by the wall where the priest, the doctor and the gay man are hanging, the gay man has the pink triangle the Nazis used to identify them in the concentration camps. The first time I watched this series I saw it as a dystopian nightmare, but it's not.
Show is ltierally the Conservative's Endgame, who hasnt realized that by now i gotta as? I mean, duhhh: Not all conservatives are the same but in the end, the thing literally in the name, the thing that gets 'conserved' in 'Con-ser-va-tism' is literally past-beliefs, more primitive worldviews! The GOP-Videos of Cody Johnston literraaalllyy pr
What do you consider to be a "past belief" or "primitive worldview?"@@nenmaster5218
I'm surprised Fred's death wasn't #1, but everything that happened to Emily was horrific.
I also just hope Serena gets what she deserves by the end of this.
I have NEVER wanted a character to die in such a brutal and satisfying way as I do with Serena. Her and Aunt Lydia need to GO.
@@janeymae84 Aunt Lydia is the main protagonist in the follow-up The Testaments which is also going to be made into a series. You're going to be surprised.
@@janeymae84 death is not enough. She must loose everything, someone should take the baby away and making her a handmaid would be ideal
This list is missing the flashback scene were the Guardians take Hannah. 😭
For me the most unforgettable scene was the end of episode 3... That was some superb freakin acting ❤
Every scene in this show is intense
This is probably the only show I've seen were rocks are brought to a gunfight and they actually win. Now that's good television!✊🏾😉
Honestly: that openingsscene where everyone almost get hanged (9 in this list) makes me cry every time. Just like the scene where they bury all of their handmaid friends (when they are all dressed in black), every damn time
The Handmaids Tale is such an intense tv show. I feel so much hate and anger against Gilead , Serena and Fred Waterford, Aunt Lydia and the rest of the bunch .
There are many intese moments in the show.
This list could easily have a Part 2 (and 3 , and 4, and...)
I am in awe of all the actors amazing realism and connectivity to the audience. This series would be an absolute flop without stunning actors.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thanks! I'm not in the greatest place rn, so your wishes made me feel better a little bit
This show is absolutely terrifying and very difficult to watch. There are so many shocking moments where I wanted to stop watching. It is by far, one of the best shows I have ever seen. It's outrageous.
I forgot about so much of this. I think the trauma shuts my brain down, for mere self preservation reasons.
Bravo to the writers.
Janine's stoning is the most uncomfortable paradox I have ever witnessed in a television series.
When I saw her face and her upbeat persona I could have been sick.
The shock and distress on the Handmaid's faces was distressing.
Aunt Lydia: "Come forward please. Don't be picky just take one." [Stone]
Emily's hospital walk with Nicole
The scene with Emily and her (nameless) Martha at the court, then in the bus (heartbreaking, cause we all knew what was coming), the horrible hanging and then Emily's "punishment" just messed me up.......UGH.
When she finally sees her daughter for the first time and the daughter is mad at her!
The railroad scene 😭😭
I don't know if I can pick one. That's why I find this series so riveting. It's intense but not gratuitous. It's really well written and acted. I cry a lot. Umm...nope; I can't pick one.
Which intense moment that Henry thinking about watching the show is liar
I tried watching this show, but it is just way too depressing
The most graphic scene in the entire show has to be the Waterfords' unforgivable act. I mean, June is actively screaming bloody murder for them to stop! She's begging them and pleading them to stop! And hearing Fred and Serena completely ignore and outright force June to stop vocalizing is horrifiying! Overall, it's an extremely disturbing scene that is, by far, the most graphic scene in the entire series.
The train scene got me together
not even one scene with Hanna? ...
I think either Fred's death or the execution at the swimming pool should have been number one. It's hard to choose between them because they are both dystopian, intense, brutal. But you also excluded the clip where the handmaid's mouth is sewn shut with a wire grill. That one entered my nightmares.
How about when the Waterfords are first arrested? I love that scene. Or when June kills the Commander at Jezebels
2:55 It got worse for Omar and his family though. They turned his wife into handmaiden I think and took his son away. I can’t remember if he was murdered as well. It was sad the family was torn apart trying to help June.
I remember that and it was so sad that happened to the poor family 😞
For me, the most intense "Handmaid's Tale" moment was when I discovered that Elizabeth Moss and her parents were hardcore, long-time, Scientologists.
Check out the GOP-videoss and Democracy-in-Peril-Essay by 'Some More News'', such people, people who want the handmaid's tail to be real, are real

The Handmaids' close call should've been top 3. That scene was HORRIFYING
This show is so frickin good….that some of today’s stuff that is happening is starting to look a little like the show, and that is freaking me out.
I never thought about ending it but a scene that still plays in my head is when they were all about to be hung and one of the girls peed herself in fear you're the realism of that Is remarkable.
Don't let them disarm you
How you dare not include Ofglen 2 bomb? I even thought would be #1.
The only time I can think of the show being better than the book.
Oh, my! Disagree! So much in the series was not in the book and vice versa but the book was every bit as powerful if not more so! The book doesn’t let you miss anything. You’re reading the emotions in the words, you don’t need the visuals; you feel them just like in every great novel. In 1984, you don’t need to see the rats on screen to feel Winston’s terror.
Two DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? moments (s1 and s4)
Ik hou van deze serie💚
The Handmaid's Tale isn't the same without Alexis Bledel.
The thing I hate about this show is that they added things that don’t make sense to Offreds character in the book to me. They made her seem more badass but really in the book, she’s kind of complacent to me. It’s not a bad show I just wish it were more like the book.
Books have the medium for action minimal characters, because the storys goal is to make you think. That doesn't quite carry over to a visual medium.
My top two were
The opening of season 2 (hanging scene)
The ending of season 3 (Angel's Flight)
Super Crazy 😜
#1 for me would have to be the handmaid’s mock execution in season 2. That scene made me sick, but it was so powerful
This show has make cry ,laugh
So did project 2025 not learn from this show and book
Letting Fred Waterford die... probably the dumbest move made in the entire show... Okay, second dumbest after trying to liberate a brothel all by yourself, leading to your capture and all but one other Handmaid dead.
While I love the show overall, June due to reckless have resulted in others as collateral damage and she has no qualms or sorrow about them
@@tamarajohnson5771
Not even towards the women who helped her kill Waterford. They want their revenge now, and Junko isn’t willing to pony up.
It's not far-fetched that Waterford dies. He dies in the book too, just in a different scenario altogether.
Agreeeed
good video
Serena sold Fred out to save herself and try to get custody of Nicole back from Luke and Moira, she purposely made a deal with Mark Tuelo to hand over her husband in a trade off so that she would get Nicole back, what Serena didn't bank on was Fred telling Mark T about her own disgusting and despicable behaviour amongst other things, and Fred did that because when he found out what Serena had done and why she sold him out, he was obviously very angry and felt betrayed so in return he also told about her and thats why Fred was arrested at the crossing over, he and his fellow commanders had in deed been tricked and betrayed by Serena in the pretences that they were having safe passage to have negotiations about bringing Nicole home, and Serena set it up with Mark and what was left of the USA government and Canadian government, which Serena might of scarily got away with until Fred decided that he wasn't going to let her get away with the stuff she had done either, i only say this in the comments because the video says that they were unawares but Serena knew and set it up so that Fred was the trade off, she betrayed him and they both betrayed God, humanity and each other and everyone basically, no one was free the catastrophic cruel unbearable horrible disgusting world that they both helped create in the name of Gilead, they are doing exactly what the Bible said not to do do not take the Lords name in vain and they used that to enslave, slaughter and ruin people's lives
There’s nothing that isn’t intense in this series. It’s just too much like the current goals of the GQP.
The train scene was just devastating to me and I can't hear that song ever again without thinking of it. I didn't realize at first that anyone was killed. I thought it just cut them off, not ran them over.

@@nenmaster5218 Yup. We don't have the infertility problem (yet) but they'd definitely like to put women back where they "belong" And it's NOT all conservatives, just like all Mormons aren't fundamentalists or Muslims Taliban, but that extremist fringe is right there for sure.
I can't watch where I live rn :(
Try getting a VPN! Then switch the server to a country that has it available(:
@@DesireeWelcome I have looked into it but I have to pay for it unfortunately :(
The most intense for me was when the two girls were arrested and the one was killed in front of her
This series killed me in the beginning wow so hard
When she meets moira and dont realise it.
When they attack aunt lydia in the truck when the train is about to pass.
Jayzuz is 3 days I am trying to stop and watch something else and I just can't.
I'm obcessed! And also I'm 9 months pregnant
Canadians would never protest usa being immigrants in Canada. Gilead maybe but not people fleeing a Holocaust. Its insulting having people in the show people protesting that.
Gilead has awesome punishments.
The most intense scenes for me was when June was heavily pregnant and raped, when we thought June and the handmaids were going to get hanged , when June gave birth to Nicole . I’ve had children I felt every bit of it 😂
I've never watched this show. I went to a Baptist church/school when I was a kid, where they had permission from our parents to hit us, yeah I don't need to re-live that.
I couldn’t watch this series in it’s entirety. It’s too real to what’s actually happening. It makes me hate people and this world. It’s not the series fault. It’s the real world.
How is this real to what's happening?
I cannot get into this show. I tried but just can’t.
You are cool 😎
I love the show love the book better however I hate that most of every episode at least half of it is nothing but her face in silence or music that’s it just staring staring just staring.
Yes! It’s a nice artistic touch once in awhile but after every episode you start to think it could be a drinking game. Take a shot every time they play a song over a scene or June stares or something happens in slow motion.
Maybe it's me idk. But am I the only one wondering why June has not been killed? I'm just confused as hell as to why she's still alive? After all the 💩 she's done. They've killed handmaid's for far less. One woman just wrecking 💩 all through Gilead. I just don't get it. I get it she's the main character. But gotDAMN c'mon man. She talks any kind of way to the cmdrs. She tried stabbing Serena with the scaple. She killed a cmdr.
