I've just finished binge watching both series and I'm hooked. One thing I love about the show is the subtleties that you miss first time round and then notice when you watch it again, then something suddenly clicks and you have an "ah ha!" moment about other scenes.
For example the first time June goes to Nick willingly. The first thing she does is take her cap off and let hair down (hair previously being bound and covered as it's considered too sexual). Then he stands passively while she undresses him first. He knows she needs to feel in control after their earlier 'forced' encounter. She undresses him while he watches her, then she grabs him by his privates and pushes him back towards the bed (something I missed the first time round but you can clearly see her grab him with 'that' look on her face, and he gasps). Then she undresses for him and he's desperate to touch her - after she removes her shorts/knickers he instinctively reaches out his hand towards her but then pulls it back and bites his lip like it's killing him not to touch her (another thing I missed first time round). And he doesn't touch her until the very last item of Offred's clothing is removed and she is truly just herself. I thought that was beautifully done.
Afterwards when her voiceover recaps what happened. She says something along the lines of "Once....no twice for him. And twice, almost three times for me. Almost. So close". I thought the wording was a bit strange that she couldn't remember how many times he'd come and he must have left her unsatisfied at the end (he doesn't seem the type!). But rewatching it I realised she corrected herself and said twice for Nick because she remembered he'd come during the first time too, when Serena was there. And so I think her 'almost' time was also during this encounter. Watching back the earlier scene, I'd seen her involuntarily reach up and touch his arm, then pull it away when she realised what she was doing. But you also see her bite her lip and look as though she's enjoying it, and afterwards she's breathing heavily and looks confused. She also had her legs around him throughout, in contrast to the rape scenes with Fred where she just passively lies legs apart. I also think Nick knew she was getting into it because of the way he looks at her during the scene. He starts off looking ashamed of himself but then something in his face changes like he's asking her some silent question and feels her answering with the way she's responding to him. There's also a moment when Serena looks at then and does a double take, like she can see it's not just strictly business. I think she was envious of that fact too.
I also love that he never calls June 'Offred' again after she tells him her real name (either when speaking to her or anyone else) except once when he's talking to Serena about her mental health. He says Offred once, then catches himself and next time just says the handmaid. Even at times when he could have been heard, like her walking past him on her way to the gate. Always June.
There's just so much subtle body language and so many subtle comments that I'm always noticing something different. Until I watched the nursery scene with subtitles I completely missed Nick saying "hey sweetie" to baby Holly when he holds her. So sweet!
I'm so interested to hear what other people have noticed!
