    Feels like the hosts are afraid to say anything at all that might be negative. I don’t know why, maybe they wanted the showrunner to like them or something. One example is when the episode for season 6 episode 10 started and all three of them said that they liked it a lot… I don’t think they are stupid or don’t know anything about TV, so I have to assume that they just try very hard to be positive instead of being honest about their opinion. With an episode that has a whopping 5,7 on imdb, I fin... more

  • AMAZING!👏🏼⭐️👍🏼

    If you have no one to talk to about The Handmaid’s Tale, definitely listen to this podcast! It made me feel so much less alone and truly has brought me so much hope for America’s future! I’m so grateful to know that there are others that care about the oppressed. I have also LEARNED so much!!
