The Handmaid’s Tale is an American dystopian television series created by Bruce Miller, based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The series was ordered by the streaming service Hulu as a straight-to-series order of 10 episodes, for which production began in late 2016. The plot features a dystopia following a Second American Civil War wherein a theonomic, totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called «Handmaids», to child-bearing slavery.[5][6]

The first three episodes of the series premiered on April 26, 2017; the subsequent seven episodes were released every Wednesday. In July 2019, the series was renewed for a fourth season,[7] which premiered on April 27, 2021.[8] In September 2019, it was announced that Hulu and MGM were developing a sequel series, to be based on Atwood’s 2019 novel The Testaments.[9] In December 2020, ahead of the fourth season premiere, the series was renewed for a fifth season,[10] which premiered on September 14, 2022.[11] In September 2022, ahead of the fifth season premiere, the series was renewed for a sixth and final season.[12]

The Handmaid’s Tale‘s first season won eight Primetime Emmy Awards from 13 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. It is the first show produced by Hulu to win a major award as well as the first series on a streaming service to win an Emmy for Outstanding Series.[13] It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama. Elisabeth Moss was also awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Drama Series.

Plot[edit]

In a world where fertility rates have collapsed as a result of sexually transmitted diseases and environmental pollution,[14] the totalitarian, theonomic government of Gilead establishes rule in the former United States in the aftermath of a civil war.[15][16][17][5] Society is organized by power-hungry leaders along with a new, militarized, hierarchical régime of religious fanaticism and newly created social classes, in which women are brutally subjugated. By law, women in Gilead are forced to work in very limited roles, including some as natal slaves, and they are not allowed to own property, have careers, handle money, or read.[17]

Worldwide infertility has led to the enslavement of fertile women in Gilead determined by the new régime to be fallen women, citing an extremist interpretation of the Biblical account of Bilhah. These women often include those who have entered marriages following divorce (termed «adulteresses», as divorce is not recognized under Gileadian law), single or unmarried mothers, lesbians (homosexuals being termed «gender traitors»), non-Christians, adherents of Christian denominations other than the «Sons of Jacob», political dissidents, and academics.[17]

These women, called Handmaids, are assigned to the homes of the ruling elite, where they must submit to ritualized rape (referred to as «the ceremony») by their male masters («Commanders») in the presence of their wives, to be impregnated and bear children for them.[17] Handmaids are given names created by the addition of the prefix Of- to the first name of the man who has them. When they are transferred, their names are changed.

Along with the Handmaids, much of society is now grouped into classes that dictate their freedoms and duties. Women are divided into a small range of social categories, each one signified by a plain dress in a specific color. Handmaids wear long red dresses, heavy brown boots and white coifs, with a headcovering surrounded by a larger white coif (known as «wings») to be worn outside, concealing them from public view and restricting their vision.

June Osborne, renamed Offred, is the Handmaid assigned to the home of the Gileadan Commander Fred Waterford and his wife Serena Joy. The Waterfords, key players in the formation and rise of Gilead, struggle with the realities of the society they helped create. During «the time before», June was married to Luke and had a daughter, Hannah.

At the beginning of the story, while attempting to flee Gilead with her husband and daughter, June was captured and forced to become a Handmaid because of the adultery she and her husband committed. June’s daughter was taken and given to an upper-class family to raise, and her husband escaped into Canada. Much of the plot revolves around June’s desire to be reunited with her husband and daughter and the internal evolution of her strength to its somewhat darker version.

Cast and characters[edit]

Main[edit]

  • Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne / Offred / Ofjoseph #2, a woman who was captured while attempting to escape to Canada with her husband, Luke, and daughter, Hannah. Because Luke is divorced, their union is considered adulterous in this new society. June is considered an adulteress and their daughter, Hannah, is deemed illegitimate. Due to June’s fertility, she is made a Handmaid to Commander Fred Waterford and his wife Serena Joy, and is called «Offred»; later she becomes handmaid to Commander Joseph Lawrence and is called «Ofjoseph».
  • Joseph Fiennes as Commander Fred Waterford (seasons 1–4), a high-ranking government official, and June’s first master. Both he and his wife were instrumental in Gilead’s founding.
  • Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford, Fred’s wife, and a former conservative cultural activist. She appears to have accepted her new role in a society that she helped create. She is poised and deeply religious, but capable of great cruelty and is often callous to June. She is desperate to become a mother.
  • Alexis Bledel as Dr. Emily Malek / Ofglen #1 / Ofsteven / Ofroy / Ofjoseph #1 (seasons 1–4), a former university professor in cellular biology and initially June’s shopping partner. Although June is initially wary of her, it is revealed she is not as pious as she seems, and the two become friends. Emily is involved with and first informs June of Mayday, an underground resistance movement. She has a wife and son living in Canada.
  • Madeline Brewer as Janine Lindo / Ofwarren / Ofdaniel / Ofhoward / Ofjoseph # 3, a Handmaid who entered the Red Center for training at the same time as June, and considers June a friend due to her kind treatment. Initially non-compliant, Janine has her right eye removed as a punishment. She becomes mentally unstable due to her treatment and often behaves in temperamental or childlike ways. Before Gilead, Janine was a waitress and had a son, Caleb, who unbeknownst to her was killed in a car crash after the takeover.
  • Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia Clements, a woman in charge of overseeing the Handmaids in their sexual re-education and duties. She is brutal and subjects insubordinate Handmaids to sadistic physical punishment, but she also cares for her charges and believes deeply in the Gileadean mission and doctrine. She appears to have a soft spot for Janine and even goes so far as to address her by her given name on occasion. Before Gilead, she was a family court judge, and afterwards, an elementary school teacher.
  • O-T Fagbenle as Luke Bankole, June’s husband from before Gilead. Initially, June believes he was killed, but it is later revealed that Luke managed to escape to Canada.
  • Max Minghella as Commander Nick Blaine, Commander Waterford’s driver and a former drifter from Michigan who has feelings for June. June and Nick develop an intimate relationship and she eventually discovers that he is an Eye, a spy for Gilead and that he played a significant role in the Gileadean takeover. In season 3, he is promoted to Commander.
  • Samira Wiley as Moira Strand, June’s best friend since college. She is already at the Red Center when June enters Handmaid training but escapes before being assigned to a home. She is recaptured and becomes «Ruby», a Jezebel. She seems to have given up hope of ever being free, but on meeting June again regains the conviction to escape to Canada.
  • Amanda Brugel as Rita Blue (season 2–present, recurring season 1), a housekeeper at the Waterford house, who becomes one of June’s closest allies. She had a son named Matthew, who died fighting in the civil war when he was 19 years old.[18]
  • Bradley Whitford as Commander Joseph Lawrence (season 3–present, guest season 2), the founder of the Colonies and architect of Gilead’s economy. He is on and off with Mayday.[19][20]

  • Tattiawna Jones as Lillie Fuller / Ofglen #2 (seasons 1–2), who replaces Emily in the position after Emily is captured by the Eyes. She warns June away from breaking the rules and does not wish to upset the status quo, but this is because she believes her life as a Handmaid is better than the difficult, impoverished life she led prior to Gilead, rather than out of religious piety.
  • Nina Kiri as Alma / Ofrobert (seasons 1–4, guest season 5), another Handmaid who trained at the Red Center with June, Moira, and Janine. She is frank and chatty and often trades gossip and news with June. She is also involved with Mayday and becomes one of June’s first contacts with the resistance group.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The Handmaid’s Tale was ranked as the 25th and 38th best TV series of the 21st century by The Guardian and BBC, respectively.[90][91] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the overall series has an approval rating of 83%.[92] While on Metacritic, another aggregator website, it has an average score of 81 out of 100.[93]

Season 1[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 259 reviews are positive for the first season, with an average rating of 8.65/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Haunting and vivid, The Handmaid’s Tale is an endlessly engrossing adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel that’s anchored by a terrific central performance from Elisabeth Moss.»[94] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 41 critics, indicating «universal acclaim».[95]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it «probably the spring’s best new show».[104] Jen Chaney of Vulture gave it a highly positive review, and wrote that it is «A faithful adaptation of the book that also brings new layers to Atwood’s totalitarian, sexist world of forced surrogate motherhood» and that «this series is meticulously paced, brutal, visually stunning, and so suspenseful from moment to moment that only at the end of each hour will you feel fully at liberty to exhale».[105]

There was much debate on whether parallels could be drawn between the series (and by extension, the book it is based on) and American society during the Presidency of Donald Trump.[106][107] Comparisons have also been made to the Salafi/Wahabbi extremism of ISIS, under which enslaved women of religious minorities are passed around and utilized as sex objects and vessels to bear new jihadis.[108][109][110]

Season 2[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 340 critics have given the season a positive review, and an average rating of 8.35/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Beautifully shot but dishearteningly relevant, The Handmaid’s Tale centers its sophomore season tightly around its compelling cast of characters, making room for broader social commentary through more intimate lenses.»[96] Metacritic assigned the season a weighted average score of 86 out of 100 based on 28 critics, indicating «universal acclaim».[97]

Some critics perceived the second season’s depictions of violence as excessive. The Atlantic‘s Sophie Gilbert wrote: «There came a point during the first episode where, for me, it became too much.»[111] Lisa Miller of The Cut wrote: «I have pressed mute and fast forward so often this season, I am forced to wonder: ‘Why am I watching this’? It all feels so gratuitous, like a beating that never ends.»[112] The Daily Telegraph‘s Rebecca Reid admitted she had an anxiety attack watching an episode of the show.[113]

Season 3[edit]

For the third season, Rotten Tomatoes reports that 82% of 301 reviews are positive, and the average rating is 6.9/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «The Handmaid’s Tale‘s third season reins in its horrors and inspires hope that revolution really is possible – if only the story would stop spinning its wheels and get to it already.»[98] Metacritic compiled 14 critic reviews and an average score of 68 out of 100, signifying «generally favorable reviews».[99]

Kelly Lawler of USA Today gave it a positive review, scoring it three out of four stars. She claimed it is an improvement over the second season, «that rights many – though definitely not all – of Season 2’s wrongs.» Overall, she wrote, «The new season is more propulsive and watchable, although it doesn’t quite reach the heights of that first moving season. But Handmaid’s regains its footing by setting off on a new path».[114]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote a generally positive review, praising Elisabeth Moss’s performance and the cinematography, but criticized the plot «that has become frustratingly repetitive». Overall, he wrote, «Still occasionally powerful, but rarely as provocative».[115]

Season 4[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fourth season earned positive reviews from 70% of 46 critics, with an average rating of 7/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Elisabeth Moss is better than ever, but scattershot plotting and an overbearing sense of doom may prove too grim for some viewers to really enjoy The Handmaid’s Tale‘s fourth season.»[100] According to Metacritic, which collected 18 reviews and calculated an average score of 62, the season received «generally positive reviews».[101]

Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly gave it a «C+» grade and wrote that the series «delivers on some long-delayed promises, but ultimately it’s too little, too late.»[116] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe wrote, «the dystopian drama has exceeded the natural lifespan of its story, as it plows forward with nothing new to say, tinkling cymbals and sounding brass.»[117] In a more positive review from Jen Chaney of Vulture, she wrote, «Thankfully, season four finally regains some momentum and forward motion. Based on the eight out of ten total episodes made available to critics, this is the best The Handmaid’s Tale has been since its first season.»[118]

Season 5[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fifth season earned positive reviews from 81% of 27 critics, with an average rating of 7.55/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «The Handmaid’s Tale has lost its urgency after spreading its once-arresting premise thin in a season focused on vengeance’s consequences, but the women of Gilead are still played with compelling exactitude.»[102] On Metacritic, it received an average score of 63 out of 100, based on 7 reviews, indicating «generally positive reviews».[103]

Critics were given the first eight episodes of the season to review. Writing for IGN, Tara Bennett gave it a «good» score of 7 out of 10 and wrote in her verdict: «The Handmaid’s Tale remains the canary in the coalmine of TV shows […]. Elisabeth Moss continues to give a livewire performance as former handmaid/now Canadian refugee June Osborne. […] But overall, the series continues to suffer with very measured storylines that can’t seem to recapture the kinetic energy of the first two seasons.»[119] Abby Cavenaugh of Collider graded it with a «B-» and said, «Season 5 is full of scarce highs and really low lows, lots of heavy-hitting drama, and emotional scenes. Some of the biggest events of this season lead to some pretty uncomfortable viewing, but viewers who stick with it will be rewarded with some huge moments that will have repercussions for the final season.»[120]

The Handmaid’s Tale is an American dystopian television series created by Bruce Miller, based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The series was ordered by the streaming service Hulu as a straight-to-series order of 10 episodes, for which production began in late 2016. The plot features a dystopia following a Second American Civil War wherein a theonomic, totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called «Handmaids», to child-bearing slavery.[5][6]

The first three episodes of the series premiered on April 26, 2017; the subsequent seven episodes were released every Wednesday. In July 2019, the series was renewed for a fourth season,[7] which premiered on April 27, 2021.[8] In September 2019, it was announced that Hulu and MGM were developing a sequel series, to be based on Atwood’s 2019 novel The Testaments.[9] In December 2020, ahead of the fourth season premiere, the series was renewed for a fifth season,[10] which premiered on September 14, 2022.[11] In September 2022, ahead of the fifth season premiere, the series was renewed for a sixth and final season.[12]

The Handmaid’s Tale‘s first season won eight Primetime Emmy Awards from 13 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. It is the first show produced by Hulu to win a major award as well as the first series on a streaming service to win an Emmy for Outstanding Series.[13] It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama. Elisabeth Moss was also awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Drama Series.

Plot[edit]

In a world where fertility rates have collapsed as a result of sexually transmitted diseases and environmental pollution,[14] the totalitarian, theonomic government of Gilead establishes rule in the former United States in the aftermath of a civil war.[15][16][17][5] Society is organized by power-hungry leaders along with a new, militarized, hierarchical régime of religious fanaticism and newly created social classes, in which women are brutally subjugated. By law, women in Gilead are forced to work in very limited roles, including some as natal slaves, and they are not allowed to own property, have careers, handle money, or read.[17]

Worldwide infertility has led to the enslavement of fertile women in Gilead determined by the new régime to be fallen women, citing an extremist interpretation of the Biblical account of Bilhah. These women often include those who have entered marriages following divorce (termed «adulteresses», as divorce is not recognized under Gileadian law), single or unmarried mothers, lesbians (homosexuals being termed «gender traitors»), non-Christians, adherents of Christian denominations other than the «Sons of Jacob», political dissidents, and academics.[17]

These women, called Handmaids, are assigned to the homes of the ruling elite, where they must submit to ritualized rape (referred to as «the ceremony») by their male masters («Commanders») in the presence of their wives, to be impregnated and bear children for them.[17] Handmaids are given names created by the addition of the prefix Of- to the first name of the man who has them. When they are transferred, their names are changed.

Along with the Handmaids, much of society is now grouped into classes that dictate their freedoms and duties. Women are divided into a small range of social categories, each one signified by a plain dress in a specific color. Handmaids wear long red dresses, heavy brown boots and white coifs, with a headcovering surrounded by a larger white coif (known as «wings») to be worn outside, concealing them from public view and restricting their vision.

June Osborne, renamed Offred, is the Handmaid assigned to the home of the Gileadan Commander Fred Waterford and his wife Serena Joy. The Waterfords, key players in the formation and rise of Gilead, struggle with the realities of the society they helped create. During «the time before», June was married to Luke and had a daughter, Hannah.

At the beginning of the story, while attempting to flee Gilead with her husband and daughter, June was captured and forced to become a Handmaid because of the adultery she and her husband committed. June’s daughter was taken and given to an upper-class family to raise, and her husband escaped into Canada. Much of the plot revolves around June’s desire to be reunited with her husband and daughter and the internal evolution of her strength to its somewhat darker version.

Cast and characters[edit]

Main[edit]

  • Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne / Offred / Ofjoseph #2, a woman who was captured while attempting to escape to Canada with her husband, Luke, and daughter, Hannah. Because Luke is divorced, their union is considered adulterous in this new society. June is considered an adulteress and their daughter, Hannah, is deemed illegitimate. Due to June’s fertility, she is made a Handmaid to Commander Fred Waterford and his wife Serena Joy, and is called «Offred»; later she becomes handmaid to Commander Joseph Lawrence and is called «Ofjoseph».
  • Joseph Fiennes as Commander Fred Waterford (seasons 1–4), a high-ranking government official, and June’s first master. Both he and his wife were instrumental in Gilead’s founding.
  • Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford, Fred’s wife, and a former conservative cultural activist. She appears to have accepted her new role in a society that she helped create. She is poised and deeply religious, but capable of great cruelty and is often callous to June. She is desperate to become a mother.
  • Alexis Bledel as Dr. Emily Malek / Ofglen #1 / Ofsteven / Ofroy / Ofjoseph #1 (seasons 1–4), a former university professor in cellular biology and initially June’s shopping partner. Although June is initially wary of her, it is revealed she is not as pious as she seems, and the two become friends. Emily is involved with and first informs June of Mayday, an underground resistance movement. She has a wife and son living in Canada.
  • Madeline Brewer as Janine Lindo / Ofwarren / Ofdaniel / Ofhoward / Ofjoseph # 3, a Handmaid who entered the Red Center for training at the same time as June, and considers June a friend due to her kind treatment. Initially non-compliant, Janine has her right eye removed as a punishment. She becomes mentally unstable due to her treatment and often behaves in temperamental or childlike ways. Before Gilead, Janine was a waitress and had a son, Caleb, who unbeknownst to her was killed in a car crash after the takeover.
  • Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia Clements, a woman in charge of overseeing the Handmaids in their sexual re-education and duties. She is brutal and subjects insubordinate Handmaids to sadistic physical punishment, but she also cares for her charges and believes deeply in the Gileadean mission and doctrine. She appears to have a soft spot for Janine and even goes so far as to address her by her given name on occasion. Before Gilead, she was a family court judge, and afterwards, an elementary school teacher.
  • O-T Fagbenle as Luke Bankole, June’s husband from before Gilead. Initially, June believes he was killed, but it is later revealed that Luke managed to escape to Canada.
  • Max Minghella as Commander Nick Blaine, Commander Waterford’s driver and a former drifter from Michigan who has feelings for June. June and Nick develop an intimate relationship and she eventually discovers that he is an Eye, a spy for Gilead and that he played a significant role in the Gileadean takeover. In season 3, he is promoted to Commander.
  • Samira Wiley as Moira Strand, June’s best friend since college. She is already at the Red Center when June enters Handmaid training but escapes before being assigned to a home. She is recaptured and becomes «Ruby», a Jezebel. She seems to have given up hope of ever being free, but on meeting June again regains the conviction to escape to Canada.
  • Amanda Brugel as Rita Blue (season 2–present, recurring season 1), a housekeeper at the Waterford house, who becomes one of June’s closest allies. She had a son named Matthew, who died fighting in the civil war when he was 19 years old.[18]

She warns June away from breaking the rules and does not wish to upset the status quo, but this is because she believes her life as a Handmaid is better than the difficult, impoverished life she led prior to Gilead, rather than out of religious piety.
  • Nina Kiri as Alma / Ofrobert (seasons 1–4, guest season 5), another Handmaid who trained at the Red Center with June, Moira, and Janine.

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The Handmaid’s Tale was ranked as the 25th and 38th best TV series of the 21st century by The Guardian and BBC, respectively.[90][91] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the overall series has an approval rating of 83%.[92] While on Metacritic, another aggregator website, it has an average score of 81 out of 100.[93]

Season 1[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 259 reviews are positive for the first season, with an average rating of 8.65/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Haunting and vivid, The Handmaid’s Tale is an endlessly engrossing adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel that’s anchored by a terrific central performance from Elisabeth Moss.»[94] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 41 critics, indicating «universal acclaim».[95]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it «probably the spring’s best new show».[104] Jen Chaney of Vulture gave it a highly positive review, and wrote that it is «A faithful adaptation of the book that also brings new layers to Atwood’s totalitarian, sexist world of forced surrogate motherhood» and that «this series is meticulously paced, brutal, visually stunning, and so suspenseful from moment to moment that only at the end of each hour will you feel fully at liberty to exhale».[105]

There was much debate on whether parallels could be drawn between the series (and by extension, the book it is based on) and American society during the Presidency of Donald Trump.[106][107] Comparisons have also been made to the Salafi/Wahabbi extremism of ISIS, under which enslaved women of religious minorities are passed around and utilized as sex objects and vessels to bear new jihadis.[108][109][110]

Season 2[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 340 critics have given the season a positive review, and an average rating of 8.35/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Beautifully shot but dishearteningly relevant, The Handmaid’s Tale centers its sophomore season tightly around its compelling cast of characters, making room for broader social commentary through more intimate lenses.»[96] Metacritic assigned the season a weighted average score of 86 out of 100 based on 28 critics, indicating «universal acclaim».[97]

Some critics perceived the second season’s depictions of violence as excessive. The Atlantic‘s Sophie Gilbert wrote: «There came a point during the first episode where, for me, it became too much.»[111] Lisa Miller of The Cut wrote: «I have pressed mute and fast forward so often this season, I am forced to wonder: ‘Why am I watching this’? It all feels so gratuitous, like a beating that never ends.»[112] The Daily Telegraph‘s Rebecca Reid admitted she had an anxiety attack watching an episode of the show.[113]

Season 3[edit]

For the third season, Rotten Tomatoes reports that 82% of 301 reviews are positive, and the average rating is 6.9/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «The Handmaid’s Tale‘s third season reins in its horrors and inspires hope that revolution really is possible – if only the story would stop spinning its wheels and get to it already.»[98] Metacritic compiled 14 critic reviews and an average score of 68 out of 100, signifying «generally favorable reviews».[99]

Kelly Lawler of USA Today gave it a positive review, scoring it three out of four stars. She claimed it is an improvement over the second season, «that rights many – though definitely not all – of Season 2’s wrongs.» Overall, she wrote, «The new season is more propulsive and watchable, although it doesn’t quite reach the heights of that first moving season. But Handmaid’s regains its footing by setting off on a new path».[114]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote a generally positive review, praising Elisabeth Moss’s performance and the cinematography, but criticized the plot «that has become frustratingly repetitive». Overall, he wrote, «Still occasionally powerful, but rarely as provocative».[115]

Season 4[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fourth season earned positive reviews from 70% of 46 critics, with an average rating of 7/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Elisabeth Moss is better than ever, but scattershot plotting and an overbearing sense of doom may prove too grim for some viewers to really enjoy The Handmaid’s Tale‘s fourth season.»[100] According to Metacritic, which collected 18 reviews and calculated an average score of 62, the season received «generally positive reviews».[101]

Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly gave it a «C+» grade and wrote that the series «delivers on some long-delayed promises, but ultimately it’s too little, too late.»[116] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe wrote, «the dystopian drama has exceeded the natural lifespan of its story, as it plows forward with nothing new to say, tinkling cymbals and sounding brass.»[117] In a more positive review from Jen Chaney of Vulture, she wrote, «Thankfully, season four finally regains some momentum and forward motion. Based on the eight out of ten total episodes made available to critics, this is the best The Handmaid’s Tale has been since its first season.»[118]

Season 5[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fifth season earned positive reviews from 81% of 27 critics, with an average rating of 7.55/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «The Handmaid’s Tale has lost its urgency after spreading its once-arresting premise thin in a season focused on vengeance’s consequences, but the women of Gilead are still played with compelling exactitude.»[102] On Metacritic, it received an average score of 63 out of 100, based on 7 reviews, indicating «generally positive reviews».[103]

Critics were given the first eight episodes of the season to review. Writing for IGN, Tara Bennett gave it a «good» score of 7 out of 10 and wrote in her verdict: «The Handmaid’s Tale remains the canary in the coalmine of TV shows […]. Elisabeth Moss continues to give a livewire performance as former handmaid/now Canadian refugee June Osborne. […] But overall, the series continues to suffer with very measured storylines that can’t seem to recapture the kinetic energy of the first two seasons.»[119] Abby Cavenaugh of Collider graded it with a «B-» and said, «Season 5 is full of scarce highs and really low lows, lots of heavy-hitting drama, and emotional scenes. Some of the biggest events of this season lead to some pretty uncomfortable viewing, but viewers who stick with it will be rewarded with some huge moments that will have repercussions for the final season.»[120]

In its third installment, however, the drama digs even deeper into the emotional toll Gilead has taken on everyone—both those left in what was once the United States and those who’ve made it out.

Когда-то давно потоковый сервис Hulu заказал 10-серийный сериал по мотивам романа-антиутопии канадской писательницы Этвуд. Речь идёт о детородном рабстве, к которому тоталитарное общество принуждает молодых женщин. И вот на днях выходит продолжение. Дата выхода 6 сезона Рассказ служанки запланирована на 11 октября 2023 года.

Точная дата выхода всех серий 6 сезона сериала Рассказ служанки и трейлер представлены внизу страницы, там вы найдёте полное расписание.

Сюжет

В гибнущем от половых болезней и плохой экологии мире показатели рождаемости упали настолько, что это вынудило правительство вымышленного государства Галаада прибегнуть к детородному порабощению женщин, способных производить потомство. Властолюбивые лидеры, возглавляющие милитаризированный режим, отвели женщинам печальную роль рабынь, которым запрещено чем-либо владеть, делать карьеру, читать.

Когда выйдет Рассказ служанки 6 сезон

Плодородные женщины, именуемые служанками, передаются в элитные семьи, где их подвергают ритуальному изнасилованию в присутствии жён. Прошедшие «церемонию» служанки рожают детей для своих хозяев. В этом печальном обществе существует своя «цветовая дифференциация штанов». Служанкам положено носить длинное красное платье. В дополнение к этому наряду идут белый чепец и тяжёлые сапоги.

Чтобы общество, в котором только одна женщина из ста может родить ребёнка, полностью не вымерло, детородные особи рассматриваются как ресурс. Женщин сгоняют в спецлагеря, где готовят к исполнению функции – рождению потомства для семей, не способных к воспроизведению.

Главные герои Рассказ служанки 6 сезон

О сериале

В Республике Гилеад — полуфашистский режим. На каждом шагу — военные патрули. Люди в офицерской форме — самые желанные гости в респектабельных домах и самые желанные клиенты во всех государственных и прочих заведениях. Жены людей в офицерской форме — самые чопорные дамы в обществе. У них у всех сплошные достоинства и только одна досадная помеха: они не рожают детей.

А потому для вынашивания потомства насильно сгоняются со всей Республики женщины подходящего возраста, способные к деторождению, и под постоянным надзором живут в специальном охраняемом помещении, пока проходят курс подготовки. После чего их выбирают жены людей в офицерской форме в качестве подстилки для своих мужей…

17 июня вышел финальный 10 эпизод 4 сезона сериала «Рассказ служанки». Он стал поворотным моментом в истории смелой Джун Осборн, которую великолепно сыграла Элизабет Мосс. Что для Джун и Галаада означают произошедшие события, какими могут быть их последствия и к чему готовиться в 5 сезоне «Рассказа служанки» – разбираем в нашем обзоре.

Со спойлерами!

Каким получился финал 4 сезона «Рассказа служанки»

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Со стартом 4 сезона «Рассказ служанки» кардинально изменился (разбирали начало 4 сезона здесь). Сцены со страданиями Джун в доме командора и ее попытками организовать побег остались в прошлом. Джун сбежала в Канаду, и уже оттуда стала обдумывать, как ей спасти Ханну и отомстить обидчикам. Героиня дала показания против Уотерфордов, но затем поняла, что они могут избежать справедливого наказания.

Героиня начала действовать, и очень решительно – можно сказать, объявила войну Галааду и на время распрощалась с семьей. Наполненный экшеном побег из Галаада, напряженные встречи с Уотерфордами, трогательное воссоединение с семьей и друзьями и первый шаг на свободную канадскую землю сделали 4 сезон «Рассказа служанки» невероятно эмоциональным и захватывающим.

Объяснение концовки 4 сезона «Рассказа служанки»

Почему Джун убила Фреда

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Фред и Серена Джой Уотерфорды (Джозеф Файнс и Ивонн Страховски) разобрались, как им освободиться. Фред согласился раскрыть американскому правительству политическую структуру Галаада. За его показания Уотерфордам пообещали свободу и возможность спокойно воспитывать сына.

Однако такой расклад не устроил Джун и ее подруг. Фред – насильник и садист, но ему пообещали не просто смягчить наказание, а отпустить. Джун добилась, чтобы Фреда отдали на суд Галаада. Произошел обмен пленными, после чего Ник Блэйн (Макс Мингелла) увез Уотерфорда на нейтральную территорию где-то между Канадой и Галаадом.

Там Фреда ждали Джун и другие женщины, которые побывали в плену Галаада. Они забили его до смерти, в духе одного из галаадских обрядов, при этом заставив Фреда побегать от них – чтобы понял, какого было им скрываться от хранителей. Сцена стала актом мести за издевательства Фреда и всего Галаада, ведь он был одним из «архитекторов» республики.

Джун признавалась, что не сможет отпустить Фреда просто так из-за воспоминаний о том, как он унижал женщин. Однако зачем она взялась сама вершить правосудие – можно было просто сдать Фреда в Галаад, где с ним разобрались бы свои? Джозеф Лоуренс (Брэдли Уитфорд) сказал, что Джун мало того, что Галаад сделает с Фредом – там его, скорее всего, просто посадили бы в тюрьму за измену. Джун хотела, чтобы он страдал и умер – только так она почувствовала бы себя освободившейся.

В книге «Рассказ служанки» Маргарет Этвуд говорится, что Фред получил возмездие. Однако в романе только предполагают, что героя не только судили, но и убили.

Что значит надпись «Nolite te bastardes carborundorum» на стене

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Фреда повесили на стену как галаадского преступника. На стене было написано «Nolite te bastardes carborundorum» – эти слова были выцарапаны в шкафу дома Уотерфордов предшественницей Джун. Фраза придавала героине уверенности и стала для нее символом борьбы за справедливость. Выражение помог ей перевести с латинского как раз Фред еще в 1 сезоне. Оно отлично иллюстрирует месть Фреду и Галааду: «Не дай ублюдкам тебя доконать».

В чем смысл «подарка» для Серены

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

После убийства Фреда Джун передала Серене пугающий подарок – отрезанный палец Фреда с кольцом. Это можно рассматривать как своеобразное «мафиозное» предупреждение – если будешь себя плохо вести, станешь следующей.

Еще это отсылка к тому, что Серене отрубили палец, когда она пыталась добиться разрешения обучать галаадских девочек чтению. Таким образом Джун напомнила Серене, что Галаад и Фред жестоко поступили с ней, но она все равно отказывалась с ними бороться – ей дороже была комфортная жизнь.

Почему Ник и Джозеф помогли Джун

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Ник готов на все ради Джун и Николь. Непонятно, как он отнесся к решению Джун убить Фреда. Наверняка он об этом знал, а значит, понимал, что под угрозой окажется и Джун, и он сам. Однако Ник тоже ненавидит Фреда и понимает чувства Джун, так что готов рисковать.

Мотивы Джозефа до конца не ясны, он вообще один из самых загадочных персонажей. Но ясно, что Фред ему и Галааду не нужен – он мог навредить стране и статусу Лоуренса. К тому же Джозеф наверняка частично винит Фреда в самоубийстве жены. Несмотря на все свои грешки, Джозеф сумел сохранить человечность – поэтому они с Джун и дружат. А смерть важного командора поможет ему уничтожить Галаад, если он задумал именно это.

Почему Джун так спешила к дочери после убийства Фреда?

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

В финале 4 сезона «Рассказа служанки» Джун размышляла о планах на Фреда, поэтому и выглядела такой отрешенной. Незадолго до расправы она мило пообщалась с ним, чтобы усыпить его бдительность и доказать себе, что этот мерзкий тип на самом деле не признает вину за свои преступления. Фред был ею одержим, что позволило Джун манипулировать командором – как в былые времена, о чем нам напомнил флэшбек с танцем в Иезавеле.

В финальной сцене Джун поспешила взять на руки Николь и попросила прощения у мужа, Люка Бэнкоула (О. Т. Фагбенли). Он был напуган тем, что натворила Джун. Объяснить ее спешку просто: она понимала, что убийство Фреда и написанная на стене фраза про «bastardes» приведут правительства Канады, США и Галаада к ней. Теперь Джун готовится к возможному аресту. У Люка она просила прощения, скорее всего, за то, что не послушала его и все же отомстила Фреду, тем самым поставив свое будущее под угрозу.

Что будет в 5 сезоне «Рассказа служанки»

Последствия для Джун – она сбежит?

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Джун осознает, что у убийства Фреда будут серьезные последствия. Она понимает, что за это ей нужно ответить самой, а не сваливать вину на подруг. Хотя Эмили (Алексис Бледел), которая тоже участвовала в расправе, точно не бросит ее одну.

Джун может предстать перед канадским судом. Галаад может потребовать выдать ее как государственную преступницу. Или Джун сбежит – ведь ситуация патовая. В бегах она сможет разобраться в себе и своем гневе. Шоураннер Брюс Миллер отметил в интервью Variety, что пока о смерти Фреда знает только ограниченный круг лиц, поэтому сразу Джун не арестуют.

На личном фронте у Джун тоже все сложно. Из-за убийства Фреда Джун, возможно, снова разлучится с семьей. Чувства к Люку и так охладели, а расправа еще более ухудшит отношения между ними. При этом к Нику Джун тянет все сильнее. Развязка любовного треугольника наверняка будет драматичной. Если Джун будет занята судебными разбирательствами или кинется в бега, то Люку придется контактировать с Ником, чтобы тот помог оправдать Джун и увезти в Канаду Ханну.

Что предпримут Серена и Марк после смерти Фреда. Марк любит Серену?

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Серена после разговора с Наоми Патнэм (Эвер Кэррадайн) осознала, что Галаад может отобрать у нее ребенка, а ее саму сослать в колонию или сделать служанкой. Фанаты сериала уже активно обсуждают теорию, что Серена станет служанкой. Получится этакий драматический цикл – она станет той, над кем издевалась.

Серена была холодна к Фреду – это объясняется ее лживой натурой. Героиня терпела мужа, относилась к нему как к бизнес-партнеру, поскольку «имидж» счастливой семьи работал на ее репутацию и расширял круг людей, готовых ей помочь. Она понимала, что если он пойдет ко дну, то потянет ее за собой, поэтому в ее интересах было помогать ему в юридических вопросах. Однако смерть мужа заставит Серену кардинально изменить свои планы.

Представитель правительства США Марк Туэлло (Сэм Джагер) постарается помочь Серене сохранить ребенка и остаться в Канаде. Нам неоднократно намекали на то, что он испытывает симпатию к Серене. Марк сильно беспокоился из-за того, что она не собиралась бросать Фреда даже после суда. В последней совместной сцене Марка и Фреда командор заявил «сопернику», что знает, чего он желает. Это явно отсылка к одной из Десяти заповедей: «Не желай жены ближнего твоего».

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Серена будет хвататься за любую возможность, чтобы не попасть в Галаад и, что самое для нее страшное, в руки Джун. Серена умна и хитра, так что ждем от нее сюрпризов. Она может воспользоваться поддержкой фанатов и поделиться с правительством США новыми сведениями о Галааде. В интервью Entertainment Weekly Брюс Миллер сказал, что Серена не любит проигрывать, так что она найдет способ, как использовать в своих интересах смерть Фреда. И да, шоураннер отметил, что Галааду плевать на смерть Фреда.

Марку придется объясняться перед представителями Галаада, потому что пленных он забрал, а Фред так и не добрался до места назначения. Из-за убийства Фреда конфликт между Галаадом, Канадой и США может вылиться в войну, которую давно жаждут некоторые командоры Галаада. Марку не стоит ждать поддержки Джун – он воспользовался ее показаниями и страхом Фреда перед судом в интересах США, задвинув на задний план справедливость и честность. Этим он доказал, что не заслуживает доверия.

Что будет с Джанин и теткой Лидей. Где Мэйдэй?

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Джанин (Мадлен Брюэр) вернулась в Красный центр – там она встретилась с женой Эстер Киз (Маккенна Грейс). Девушку «понизили» до служанки из-за государственной измены – героиня помогала сопротивленцам и держала в своем доме беглянок.

4 сезон «Рассказа служанки» будто завершает разные циклы. Сцена, в которой Серена встала на колени перед Джун, ярко иллюстрирует эту цикличность. Джанин тоже сделала круг. Когда-то она была бунтаркой, которой помогала Джун. А теперь сама Джанин взяла на себя роль наставницы Эстер, которая может влипнуть в большие неприятности из-за своего буйного нрава.

Джанин после всего пережитого в Галааде все еще хватает сил цепляться за светлые моменты в жизни, помогать людям и решаться на рискованные поступки. Героиня явно сломлена – это доказывает сцена, в которой Джанин оказала сексуальные услуги лидеру лагеря сопротивления, чтобы остаться в убежище. Джун не пришлось удовлетворять его самой.

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Эстер своим решительным настроем расквитаться с Галаадом пробудит в Джанин дух бойца. Девушки вполне могут, например, выйти на сопротивленцев из Мэйдэя. Сопротивление скрывается, но оно наверняка даст о себе знать. Возможно, Джанин и Эстер станут шпионками Мэйдэя. Сопротивление понесло большие потери – люди могли погибнуть или сбежать, так что Мэйдэю нужны новые проверенные агенты.

Лидия Клементс (Энн Дауд), которая с трудом вернула свою должность главной тетки, очень любит Джанин. Она постарается найти для нее новое размещение. Однако есть теория, что Лидия сделает Джанин теткой, раз ей так легко удалось успокоить Эстер.

Тетке Лидии нужно разобраться со своими вспышками гнева, пока ее вновь не сместили. И ей необходимо быть внимательной: удар может прийти не только от таких явных врагов, как Джун и Эстер, но и от ее любимицы Джанин. Сотрудничество Лидии с Джозефом, вероятно, ни к чему хорошему не приведет – один из них предаст другого.

Вернет ли Джун Ханну

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Кадр из сериала «Рассказ служанки»/ Hulu

Ханна стала совсем взрослой девочкой и забыла своих настоящих маму и папу. Джун и Люк бросят все силы на то, чтобы спасти дочь от Галаада, потому что ее скоро могут сделать женой или служанкой. Новые родители, скорее всего, постараются найти для Ханны командора, но и при таком раскладе много свободы у нее не будет.

Джун должна самостоятельно или через Люка связаться с Ником и Мэйдэем. И если все пройдет удачно, получится не только спасти Ханну, но и свергнуть власть Галаада. Шансы есть – ведь теперь Джун и Люк знают, где их дочь.

Как заканчивается книга «Рассказ служанки» – ждать ли такой же финал

Финал книги «Рассказ служанки» Маргарет Этвуд частично соответствует концовке 1 сезона. Вскоре после побега Джун ее история в романе обрывается. Дневник Джун попал к историкам из 2195 года, которые изучают павшую Республику Галаад.

Маргарет Этвуд выступает продюсером-консультантом сериала, так что она может повлиять на то, чтобы финал «Рассказа служанки» тоже заглянул в будущее. Шоураннеры вполне могут показать в конце выживших центральных героев сериала, как они живут спустя какое-то время. Если скачок во времени и планируется, то вряд ли нас перебросят в слишком далекое будущее, как это было в книге.

Сколько еще будет сезонов «Рассказа служанки»

Создатели уже анонсировали 5 сезон «Рассказа служанки». Пока не сообщается, станет ли он финальным. Джун нужно спасти Ханну и разрушить Галаад – на это может уйти как один, так и два сезона. Брюс Миллер сказал The Hollywood Reporter, что сезонов будет столько, сколько захочет сниматься Элизабет Мосс. Премьеру 5 сезона стоит ждать не раньше весны 2022 года.

В 2019 году Маргарет Этвуд выпустила книгу «Заветы» о том, что происходило спустя 17 лет после событий оригинала. Hulu собирается снять по «Заветам» спин-офф «Рассказа служанки».
