The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
5/10
Another show that doesn't know when to end
16 April 2022
Season 1 was great; really ran with the concept and made the dystopian world of the book believable with much better detail than the 80s film did.

Season 2 was almost as good, necessary backstories shown and resistance began to foment.

Season 3 the show started going off the rails. Instead of having the tone of a show for pay-cable it started resembling the type of dumb sci-fi action shows on the SyFy channel.

I really hoped Season 4 would get back on track of the quality of the earlier seasons, but no, it's even dumber than S3. I'm done. And--good lord--it appears this has been renewed for a 5th season, too! Man, some people are starved for entertainment it seems.

I'm giving it a 5 overall rating just because of the quality of the earlier seasons.
