[Yvonne] Strahovski, a commanding, cool actress, registers all these conflicts within the physical constraint of a primly severe green dress. She's like a blade of grass trembling at the sound of the lawn mower.

The most compelling scenes in the new season are the ones that explore how exactly Gilead took over America, and that draw on contemporary events and figures with eerie relevance.

The Handmaid's Tale is powerful and propulsive. After the first three episodes, when the horrors become more predictable, it's even pretty watchable.

The fourth [episode is]... the show's best depiction to date of how unearned guilt holds a vice on one's identity, fragmenting it into abstract concepts of good and evil that leave no space for the true essence of humanity.

Still excellent, still a desperately bleak downer.

The series is persuasive in both its ideas and drama, and... the stakes grow higher.

Even the moments you dare to hope for, well, hope in the bleak, blue-toned powder keg that is Gilead, it's impossible to shake the feeling one wrong move, one wrong breath, might incite catastrophic doom. It's both terrifying and riveting.

Rather than hitting notes of triumph that inevitably ring false, these latest chapters lean into the all-consuming anguish. It follows through on the logical implications of its premise-but also raises a critical question about its direction.

Handmaid's Tale had a tough act to follow, but its second coming soars on multiple levels

I was blown away by the first hours of the new season, which are so gripping that my blood pressure rose right along with my admiration for everyone behind this series.
