Andrew J @RT46071695 Sep 5, 2026 Wasn’t sure if this would be a slow spinoff from The Handmaids Tale, I expected the story line to be far weaker, I mean… what could have topped The Handmaids Tale. Well, I was absolutely blown out of the water, absolutely engaging, if you pay attention to the small details throughout you can grasp the direction of which things are going. It absolutely is an exceptional continuation of another chapter, I will be absolutely glued to season 2. Honestly it’s an absolutely phenomenal series! Just… wow!

Was impressed by Lucy Halliday who plays Daisy, did a quick check, a born and bred Paisley girl which came as a very pleasant surprise.

See more Hio22 T @RT03636226 Aug 25, 2026 Overall, an enjoyable and engaging watch. My main criticisms are some clunky scene transitions, shallow dialogue/narration, and, most importantly, the completely flat father-daughter relationship between Agnes and Commander Mackenzie. Mackenzie is barely given any screen time, which feels like a huge missed opportunity. A more developed relationship could have explored the tension between Gilead's commanders as war criminals and their roles as fathers. Instead, Mackenzie feels more like a box to tick than a fully developed character, with a rather flat performance that makes him come across as pathetic rather than deliberately complex.

See more Nadine S @Nadine164 Aug 19, 2026 I went in expecting it to feel like a weaker version of The Handmaid's Tale, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's darker in some places but actually much easier to watch, and I really liked the pacing. It still has some connections to the original show, but it feels like its own story.
