Much like America does with its crap, like the mutilation of minors because "Mah gender".

^ I Googled and it seems to be getting a 6th and final season.
We're a few episodes into Season 5 now. The later seasons are still pretty good so far, just different in dealing with the aftermath of the previous seasons. Not gonna lie...
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: I cried like a baby when, after getting to Canada, June tells Luke about their daughter Hannah
That was a heart crusher.
Oh, also: a few years ago I would have thought it insane for women in Canada (in this case) to be actively endorsing the ways of Gilead with sex slavery and subjugation, but Trump cult behavior makes all that entirely plausible. (Not to mention womens subjugation under Islam--there are no doubt percentages of women brainwashed enough to petition for it.)
I see how the later seasons are not necessarily as good as the first 2-3 seasons, but I don't know, there's still a fascinating story arc. Serena definitely has a great arc mirroring June. It's great writing. So I'm still pretty impressed. It's probably going to be a difficult series to end, so season 6 will be interesting to see.
I'm wondering why we haven't seen anything about Emily. All we were told is that she went back to Gilead. I'm wondering if they get back to her in Season 6.
But anyway, the season cliffhanger wasn't super amazing since we've already seen post-Gilead Serena and June interact a bit, so it's really teasing more of the same. More or less. But will still look forward to it.
Part of me still hopes to see June beating Serena to death with her bare hands and then taking the baby and raising it. Serena deserves nothing good in life.
Started the 6th season with my wife. 3 episodes in now.
It's showing some promise and there's been some interesting scenes. Like Nick having to do some nasty things to save June's husband and friend. And Serena calling out Lawrence for not being a true believer so he did a try-too-hard get down and pray, haha... and he was like "If there is a god..." and Serena was like, "If?!"
And I hate to be that guy, Elizabeth Moss is a great actress, but she's aged poorly over the seasons, I guess mainly putting on weight. It doesn't suit her.
I guess I also soured on the show a little bit when I found out she is a Scientologist. I think a Scientology-run country would probably be at least as bad as a fundy Christian one. It's hard to choose.. a bit like choosing vomit or shit as a dinner appetizer.
Ok, I think I'm 4 episodes in now. I'm kind of getting bored with the set up, but sounds like it could get interesting if they're planning to assassinate Commanders and set off explosives n such.
Eh, episode 5 was better, finally got going a little bit, but it still seems like repeat of previous events.
This (final) season is really going to need to pick up big time if it wants to be satisfying. And I don't know how they are going to satisfyingly wrap up this series with just 3 more episodes.
