Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 1d
Dowd, of course, is next level. Compressing and occasionally revealing all that she has been through in “The Handmaid’s Tale” and before, what she manages to make Aunt Lydia is both Dorian Gray and his portrait. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine 1d
While many of the problems that afflicted The Handmaid’s Tale as it dragged on persist, and the need for consistency between the series introduces more, I was surprised at how well it all worked. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety 1d
An exemplary follow-up to the original series. It is also a magnificent coming-of-age story that draws terrifying parallels to the modern-day experiences of women living in a misogynistic society emboldened by religious psychosis. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 1d
While we have some issues with how The Testaments is structured, given how depressing the world of Gilead continues to be, we are looking forward to seeing Agnes and Daisy starting to agitate for change as the show goes forwar Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire 1d
7/10
A nice return to form for The Testaments should help it far exceed the last season of The Handmaid's Tale after its collapse in the final few episodes. Chase Infiniti and Lucy Halliday give the show a bright future. Go to Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India 2d

Mark H. @Hermski 2h It’s very good and love how they’re using Elizabeth Moss in the series. It’s a great show so far and looking forward to the rest of the season. See more Rafaela M @RT95429702 12h Amazing! It’s both fascinating and chilling to see Gilead again from a new perspective. For all THT fans, this show is a must-watch! See more Ana Isabel C @RT63263676 1d So far, I’m genuinely amazed by this series. It feels like a powerful and thoughtful continuation of The Handmaid’s Tale, while still finding its own voice. The story pulls you in right away, and the new generation of characters adds a fresh perspective to the world of Gilead. It’s intense, emotional, and very well done. I’m really impressed with how it builds on the original story without losing depth. Definitely worth watching!! See more Jennifer S. @Raysgirl23 1d I loved the Handmaid’s Tale, and I already love The Testaments! Unfortunately it’s very much mirroring reality right now. See more Sarah G. @Littlebit1993 1d This show is already answering questions i had at the end of the Handmaids Tale. Loving it so far. See more Raphael C @RT16226360 1d Estava ansioso para a estreia dessa série após a leitura, as expectativas foram atendidas, grandioso começo. See more Read all reviews
