    Great recap! I'm not a fan of the Serena redemption story arc. So she didn't understand how bad being a handmaid was until it happened to her? She's directly responsible for the deaths of thousands, she was ruthless to June and now after giving birth to a baby we're supposed to feel sorry for her? She's just going through what every handmaid went through. Sorry if I don't feel any sympathy for her.

      I also don't understand why she was sad that Fred died...he had her finger cut off for reading the Bible, and brutally whipped her with a belt...not to mention all the times he cheated on her. He could have given her an STD after all his escapades at Jezebel's.

      You just only have to look at what's happening in the US and the massive support from women against women's right because of religion or a false sense of piety. Smart people do stupid things all the time and people are easily manipulated, sadly.

      ​@@coinopanimatoryes it is pretty sick that many women have been convinced that they are in control of their own bodies, when in fact they are giving up control to drug corps. And the government. Just because those in power tell you it's ok, doesn't make it ok. This show clearly shows what can happen.

    Great recap, thank you, I learned a few things that I had missed. One thing from episode 10 that puzzles me- June is a smart woman who has survived many attempts to kill her. So why in the world did she remain on the street, running in a straight line as the truck was barreling towards her? Why not get off the street, hide behind a tree, run in a zig zag pattern, etc???

    • @noellefritz5678
      @noellefritz5678 Год назад +1

      I’ve never watched this show but it depends on the distance between the car and June and how fast the car was going, if it was going just fast enough, and June even slightly didn’t run completely straight, the speed/distance would be too little and it’d catch up with her and she’d be hit

    The writing in this show just makes absolutely no sense. Luke getting arrested for "assaulting a guy... a guy who they see run June over with a car and runs up to her with a shot gun. Yeah that's not assault. Do these writers not understand basic laws?

    • @thefanatic2992

      The important bit is that Luke is a refugee. A refugee that is a large part of Canada including I'm guessing politicians don't want and hate. When you view it through the lens of how minorities in those situations are treated its a lot more realistic.

      Because she is too stupid to realize the people she was supporting were not there to help her; you almost feel sorry for her being this delusional. Sort of like real life; where people follow cult like leaders; not realizing that their leaders don’t have their best interests at heart.

    • @legally_ellecee
      @legally_ellecee Год назад +45

      I don’t think anyone supports her, I think it’s more that they feel some empathy for her now. I admit, it’s hard to have empathy for her. But with her becoming a real mother her character arc has made viewers believe that she regrets her decisions. I think she is beginning to see the horror of her helping create Gilead, the reality of it means that she isn’t safe without a husband. The fact that Gilead knows she can carry a child to full term makes her a double target for Gilead.

    • @Anymous578
      @Anymous578 Год назад +9

      I feel like Sirena has true remorse for what she did through out the season she begins to show a actual change I believe her living with the Wheelers actually forced her to feel how the Handmaids felt under the oppress system of Gilead I feel Serena storyline shows that once you experience true freedom your mind will never be the same again I feel like the death of Fred was a symbol of the death of her old self I feel that moment when June helped her in the barn force Serena, to see the good in June I think the writing in this show is completely genius I don’t think the show is written for us to forget what Serena did but it’s to teach the us forgiveness of others when they do us wrong I also feel as if the show wants us to give Serena pitty and sorrow for her rather than pitty for the person she truly is I personally feel thats what the show was going for we will see in season 6 if it’s a façade, or if Serena truly changed … this season really really points towards forgiveness and change of others. I think it’s cool because we see characters development we see people change like Aunt Lydia, we’ve seen Naomi have a humble heart and we are even starting to see Commander Lawrence began to turn more into a villain rather than a vigilantly I feel like, the more the seasons progress, the more of the characters attitudes would change based on the environment around them

      Exactly! The actress who plays Esther had a surgery on her spine to correct her scoliosis and she will be fine. Still, they did a terrible job of handling it in that these writers, they aren’t the people who tied up breaking bad or dark, but they *knew* about it far enough in advance to write SOME-thing. Pathetic to merely let her disappear without any of the characters talking about her. Grrrrrr.
