I completely forgot about this week's episode, so I need to watch that tonight. I've been too interested in finishing season 2 of Queer Eye. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830210 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 10:18:29 +0000 Mrsbells 2830210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @DesertDreams88: @erinbaderin: yes it is a disturbing show to watch but really sucks you in. In some ways it reminds me of game of thrones in the way they humanize the villains. Yes I can actually see this happening in real life. People are surprisingly willing to use the bible as justification for awful things. As a very active Christian myself it never fails to surprise me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830185 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 08:54:19 +0000 DesertDreams88 2830185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*spoilers*</p> <p>I look forward to every Wednesday bc of this. Although, that's kind of sick, bc it is do hard to watch. I had to fast forward through the hand-burning, "domestic discipline," and rape scenes. </p> <p>I find it amazing how every other episode humanizes Serena, and then every other episode reveals more awfulness from her.</p> <p>Also, I LOVE the backstory episodes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830177 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 08:14:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2830177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>***spoiler***</p> <p>Absolutely disgusting how Serena and the Commander used rape as revenge on the most recent episode. </p> <p>I know we are all watching a TV show, but my goodness it’s creepy how the start of Gilead feels like what’s going on right now. A FB friend posted something to the effect it’s amazing people are separating kids from their parents all because someone told them to. My husband is a Federal employee and now that Trump finally has a permanent Secretary for his department, my husband’s work environment has drastically changed. For instance, due to the new guidelines he hasn’t been home since the first weekend in May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830155 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 04:54:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2830155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m still watching - I seriously considered giving it up after the first episode of this season but I couldn’t, it’s so good even though it’s so grim! I haven’t seen the most recent one (my husband and I watch together and he’s been away) but I really liked last week’s, although that could be because I’m from Toronto so I loved seeing it as actually Toronto as opposed to various outdoor Gilead locations, and I liked seeing the Canadians standing up to the Americans. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830153 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 00:29:37 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2830153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: yes! I’m so engrossed in it. I really enjoyed last week’s episode with a little peak into more about Serena...<br /> I SOBBED when I watched yesterday’s. I don’t want to give anything away for those who haven’t seen it, but it’s very emotional. </p> <p>I get so excited for each new episode! </p> <p>Praise be. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-watching-handmaids-tale#post-2830131 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 20:37:15 +0000 Mrsbells 2830131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its getting so good. But so dark! I'm getting sucked into it especially aunt lydia and all their terms "blessed be the fruit" Funny enough how I could actually see some of this happening in real life. People seem so ready to accept terrible things and excuse it. </p>
