I thought I'd start a thread for discussing series 3 episode one of The Handmaid's Tale to be shown on Channel 4 at 9pm on 9th June 2019.

Please NO SPOILERS for those who have already watched it.

I’m watching!!

Roussette · 09/06/2019 21:35

Subtitles on because they mumble! I hate subtitles normally but it's a necessity on this

MoobaaMoobaa · 09/06/2019 21:35

weeping here too.

Destinysdaughter · 09/06/2019 21:37

I think for me it’s about as a woman being believed and validated is so fucking rare, and it was the first thing he said to her!

hopeishere · 09/06/2019 21:37

Chills when he asked her that. Although the swaddling was remarkably dry Hmm

I love Commander Josh! Glad he's back.

I had to watch the virtues with subtitles too.
I thought I'd developed a hearing problem.

Maybe serena will try and fight from within?

ILoveMaxiBondi · 09/06/2019 21:41

Ooh I don’t like the look of this.

TheFirstOHN · 09/06/2019 21:41

Oooh, that was a look.

Bringonspring · 09/06/2019 21:42

Or baby not

ILoveMaxiBondi · 09/06/2019 21:45

Loving June’s “stay calm in an emergency” energy. Grin

Destinysdaughter · 09/06/2019 21:45

Wow that fire was like a dream/ nightmare!

TheFirstOHN · 09/06/2019 21:45

I think Serena has made it clear how she feels about her marriage (bed).

ILoveMaxiBondi · 09/06/2019 21:46

“Burn motherfucker, burn”

Grin

TUNE!!!

Destinysdaughter · 09/06/2019 21:46

Haha bloody BRILLIANT choice of music!!!!!!

Bringonspring · 09/06/2019 21:46

Oooo good point in that being her marriage bed

Bringonspring · 09/06/2019 21:47

Awesome soundtrack again!!

TheFirstOHN · 09/06/2019 21:47

Great song choice for that scene

Destinysdaughter · 09/06/2019 21:47

I’m laughing and crying at the same time right now!!

NigellasGuest · 09/06/2019 21:47

Well it's also the bed on which Fred used to rape June so is Serena making a statement about her and June

hopeishere · 09/06/2019 21:48

The soundtrack is always spot on!!

The look Serena have was like June's look at the end of the last series.

BettysLeftTentacle · 09/06/2019 21:49

Why is it so dark?!?!?! I’ve hsd to turn the lights off to see anything. And the mumbling, whhhyyyy?!?? Sad

MatchsticksForMyEyesReturns · 09/06/2019 21:51

Very powerful. Heart in my mouth when they were in the river. Agree about the determined June look Serena had. I like the new alliance.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 09/06/2019 21:51

Serena was very clearly putting an end to all of Fred’s fuck fun in that house.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/06/2019 21:52

I missed the first 20 minutes. Bastard cable company.
