The Handmaid’s Tale: Season 2, Episode 7 “After” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
A quiet revolution has begun with a bang and it seems Lillie’s bomb was just an exclamation point before a new chapter.
A quiet revolution has begun with a bang and it seems Lillie’s bomb was just an exclamation point before a new chapter.
As Serena Joy and June continue their complicated relationship, something possibly game-changing happens at the end of the episode.
Just as it seemed the world broke and killed June and she has assumed the role of Offred, she gets two serious wake-up calls.
How long can you fight and be defeated, be the cause of others misery and death, before you decide to give up? It seems June has found out the answer.
Guilt over not being the perfect mom, nor feminist, haunts June as she reminisces about her mother and how she has been as a mom.
The colonies are finally seen as well as an update on two favorites – Emily and Janine.
After her grand act of defiance inspiring a non-violent protest, it is time to see how Aunt Lydia plans to punish the girls and whether June’s pregnancy means anything in regards to that.
Solidarity is what causes and maintains revolutions. But for solidarity to sprout there needs to be one voice. One refusal to the oppressor. Which is what we get in The Handmaid’s Tale finale: “Night.” Trigger Warning(s): Cutting open of flesh
Would it be wrong, if not odd, to say I was a bit bored by “Jezebel?” Granted, we got another character’s background story and saw someone from June’s past, but I found it difficult to be excited or engaged. To help understand why, look below.
Rather than drag out what may have happened to Luke, as I want to believe they are doing with Moira, we get an episode dedicated to him.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
