The Handmaids Tale - Series 2

[JustBeenNosey]

So I started watching the Handmaids Tale on Sky, on demand, last week.

I downloaded all series 1 and got through that within 5/6 days 🙄

Tried downloading series 2 but I can only get from episode 9 onwards..

Can anyone help me out and tell me how I can start series 2 from the beginning please?!😬

There is only one legal way to watch s2 in the UK - Amazon Prime for about £5 an episode.

@Arrivederci really?! I have series 2 on my Sky on demand but they start at episode 9 and say they expire soon.

Is it it because it has recently been on TV maybe?🤔🤔

Have you tried 4od?

@delilahswishes no I haven't! I didn't even know what channel it was originally on.
I just searched for it on Sky.

I'll have a look now 👍🏼

I think they should be on 4 od. I can't see them not

Or even on catch up.

@delilahswishes it's the same on Channel 4 Catch up as well..

It starts from episode 10 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@gamerchick I've searched on Sky and Channel 4 Catch up and can only get series 1 (all of them) and then series 2 starts from episode 10

Actually on Amazon it's £2.49 an episode on HD, or £1.89 if you're happy with SD. Or you can buy the whole series for £24.99 or £21.99. That's to keep the digital copy, there's no option to just rent. Or the DVD is going to be £22.99, but that's not released yet.

But do you have the facility to play the Amazon episodes on your TV?

@Pemba okay thank you!
I don't have an Amazon account to watch anything 😩
I'm probably just gonna have to wait till it's abit cheaper and get it on dvd or something.

I'm not too good with Amazon stuff 😂🙈

I've watched the whole first series within about 5 days and was really looking forward to watching the second series as well 😩😩

Oh noo! Well hopefully you won't have to wait long for the DVD.

@Pemba fingers crossed!
have you watched series 2?

Yes and it was brilliant! More exciting that the first one really, if you've already read the book, because you just don't know what's coming next. (The first one covers the book, the second one is new plot lines, with help from the author Margaret Atwood).

It will be worth the wait!

@Pemba I've not read the book.

I just want to know whether she ends up getting pregnant.. what happens with her and Nick.. what happens with the Commander.

It's so annoying because I just want to watch the second series 😩😩😩

I might have to cave in and buy the episodes

Well if you do, you could watch them quick, whilst the last few episodes are still on demand you wouldn't have to pay for those. Save you a bit of money anyway. I think the ones on Sky/ 4od expire week by week.

@gamerchick I've searched on Sky and Channel 4 Catch up and can only get series 1 (all of them) and then series 2 starts from episode 10

Ah right, I had a look on virgin and they're there. Do you know anyone with virgin who would maybe indulge a binge watch?

@Pemba it's daft really isn't it🤔

@gamerchick my boyfriend has virgin at his but his mum and dad just sit in front of the TV and watch utter shite all day every day

Ah so near and yet so far

@gamerchick I know😩 hopefully it will be back on Sky after it's finished.

That means I'll have to rewatch series 1 to remember what bloody happened.

Or I can try bribe get his mum and dad out of the house somehow🤔
A bottle of vodka and some cans of Stella should do it..

@gamerchick just had a text saying his mum and dad are away this weekend which means lots of sex without worrying whether we're going to get caught catching up on Series 2! 😬😬🤢

Ah geddin, have fun
