Hi all

Here is the next thread for those who are watching The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 on Channel 4. Please don't put any spoilers on this - the other thread (for those in other countries who are watching ahead of the UK) is:

I thought Fred was just an arse who liked to control women in general but after his reaction to the other Commander’s interest in June, I’m starting to think he really is infatuated with her. Others have said he is before but I really didn’t see it that way.

He is a creepy, abusive bastard whichever way you look at it though.

OhHolyJesus · 22/07/2018 21:33

I think June could blame a doctor if she wanted to protect Nick - I'm not sure the Commander is all that bright to figure out that Serena had Nick made June pregnant anyway.

Frazzled2207 · 22/07/2018 21:35

Oh God I think she's going to make him rape June

MonkeySlutIsBlown · 22/07/2018 21:35

So she literally is going to get fucked for that Shock

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 22/07/2018 21:35

Please please don’t tell me they are going to rape her to induce labour?? Shock

Destinysdaughter · 22/07/2018 21:35

Oh no is he going to rape her? Shock

RedorBlack · 22/07/2018 21:35

Oh hell no, watch out June

SoniaShoe · 22/07/2018 21:35

He's going to rape her?

Roussette · 22/07/2018 21:35

Am I getting this wrong... is Fred suggesting killing June... or am I just being dramatic here

Efferlunt · 22/07/2018 21:38

Serena might think Nick should do it. I hope

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 22/07/2018 21:39
Sad

I don’t feel like I have a right to cry because this has happened to many women but there are tears.

Roussette · 22/07/2018 21:39

Oh hell

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 22/07/2018 21:39

This is fucking dreadful I can't bear it

Destinysdaughter · 22/07/2018 21:40

Hideous

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 22/07/2018 21:40

They are monsters

theredjellybean · 22/07/2018 21:40

I hope she has an abruption and the baby dies to serve Serena right

Efferlunt · 22/07/2018 21:40

Why am I watching this?

Bringonspring · 22/07/2018 21:40

Just dreadful

theredjellybean · 22/07/2018 21:41

Except it would be blamed on June

ohreallyohreallyoh · 22/07/2018 21:41

If their society is based on what god would want, how do they justify this?

TriggeredByHangingBaskets · 22/07/2018 21:42

I had to leave the room, that was truly awful.

Frazzled2207 · 22/07/2018 21:43

OhShock

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 22/07/2018 21:43

Efferlunt I'm starting to question why I'm watching as well. Too far. They could've and should've panned away and had the camera focus on something else. It was gratuitous and for the sake of it.

theredjellybean · 22/07/2018 21:45

Oh dear

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 22/07/2018 21:47

I wonder how that would be viewed if reported? If June told aunt Lydia what they did?
