Handmaid’s Tale season 4 has gone off the rails from a story telling perspective. I am all for suspending disbelief when I am watching sci-fi but not when I am watching something that should still apply the laws of common sense.
Or at least common Gilead sense. There is so much going on that simply would not occur in Gilead or in any society that behaves the way Gilead does. June’s own actions also defy belief considering what she has been through over the last few years.
It’s always been the case that June should have been on the wall in season 1 and that is true but the fact that she is not on the wall early in season 4 along with Lawrence is beyond belief.
The way ep 5 ended appears to have been emotional for some viewers but I found it laughable. Especially considering the distance from Chicago to the closest point in Canada. The idea that Gilead would let that happen is again beyond belief.
What I fear most though is that the story appears to be heading for regression. Maybe I’m wrong and things will continue to move forward but the producers seem to have found their torture porn lane and are going to ride it all the way. #handmaidstale
