I thought the first few seasons were well done, but quickly got disinterested when the plot seemed to stop moving forward. I think it was around when she decided not to go to Canada?

I had almost forgotten about this. I feel the last season was so long ago now.

It got a bit better again when she

got radicalized and started doing underground railroad stuff to free other women

And I was also glad when they finally killed off the one main character.

I enjoyed exploring the wasteland the naughty women get sent to, seeing how the country turned into Gilead, and I think Aunt Lydia and Commander Lawrence were very well developed characters.

I did not like how one baddie is looking like they will get a redemption arc at the end of last season.

It's gone on a bit too long, but it's been somewhat interesting watching it along with events in the real world over the past few years. The show really captures the wishy washy officials talking about reform and justice without really doing anything, how people become radicalized, and how it can happen to credible intelligent people.

This is the last season, so I'm curious where they'll leave the story, if they try to give a conclusive ending, or basically a time skip like the original novel does.
