The Handmaid's Tale S4 at C4 pace (no spoilers from Hulu subscribers)

[Faircastle]

A thread for those watching Season 4 of the Handmaid's Tale on Channel 4 starting this evening. There's another thread for those who have already streamed it via Hulu, so it would be good if we could keep this one free of spoilers for episodes beyond those Channel 4 has broadcast.

Ooh sinister June!

@GoingGently, I just said exactly the same to DH. Hmm, what is going on?!

Creating an army of vengeful women!

Superb choice of music as always

This is weird. Why did that girl say she lives June?

Loves*

Omg june has turned into aunt Lydia!

I said the same!

Fab episode!

@UhtredRagnarson

This is weird. Why did that girl say she lives June?

Because she made her feel powerful?

I recognise the farm wife from the film Gifted. Was driving me bonkers!

It's really powerful, she's basically given Esther power, after her being so powerless for so long, being raped etc.

She was sally Draper in mad men too

Mrs Keys is probably only about what, 13? So she and June are mother and daughter bonding?

She said I love you banana, is the girl Hannah?!

Cracking start, and over far too quickly!

After all that stress I'm turning over for Pretty Woman 😂

So good!

I'm guess this is just on once a week like the old days?

@Chatterbox89

She said I love you banana, is the girl Hannah?!

Hannah banana. Her daughter.

@Chatterbox89

She said I love you banana, is the girl Hannah?!

No, she's just thinking of Hannah because Esther is still a child herself

I think June knows there's going to be a war and is in fight mode. The other hms are still in flight mode but Juse always knows better!

*June

Amazing episode, I can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the series.

Was it me or at the begining did Serena look happy about the idea of June getting in trouble for saving the children?

How is June not dead?

Checking in!
I'm guessing that Commander Keyes wanted Esther to get pregnant but as he couldn't, he got the other men to rape her. And now he's got dementia it seems?

@MirandaMarple

How is June not dead?

This is the only thing I find hard with HMT. June is too indestructible. June should have been hung by the eyes ages ago and now should be dead.
