i was kinda worried when they first brought her back to the waterfordâs that it would just be season 2 all over again but i think thereâs lots of scope for this commander lawrence guy to help with her escape
Ha, unfortunately/fortunately the trailer had a giveaway about this so I wasnât feeling that frustration, because otherwiseâŚ
In the US and here in Australia, they released the first 3 in one go so all I can say is so far it definitely feels like they are trying to be different, although, you know, donât expect it to suddenly turn into Predator or something, natch.
aye episode two was good, think thereâs a lot of mileage in june becoming part of the resistance
4eps in, enjoying it a lot more than season 2. Less relentlessly bleak.
anyone else finding the endless slow mo and ultra close up shots of June either looking determined or smirking really tiresome? its like watching a car advert sometimes.
also think serena is handled mega clumsily by the writers.
Amen, said the pretty much exact same thing about the millionth lingering close up while watching the last episode
Worst use of slo mo since Braveheart
Less relentlessly bleak.
What a fool I was
Do you think the sequel Atwood is releasing is because of the decision for the TV series to divert/extend from the story, or itâs something she would have done eventually anyway?
Even ancient Canadian spriggans have bills to pay.
Iâd imagine that working on the TV has made her think again about the book but equally the modern politics made it seem more apt. I donât imagine what weâre seeing in the show will affect how her sequel is written, though.
(I donât think Season 1 really diverts from the original story particularly except in having Serena and Fred be Juneâs contemporaries, does it?)

I feel like a lot less is happening per episode this season. When the showrunner said he could make 10 seasons I didnât realise it was by slowing down the action.
Last season spent 3 episodes essentially resetting the story so Iâm thankful this season hasnât done that but it feels like in trying be less brutal on screen it hasnât filled all of those moments with âstuffâ. Mostly we seem to be treading water with each episode feeling more like a weird piece of worldbuilding or a side-quest instead of advancing a narrative for June.
this season has to be one of the most spectacular shit the bed events to occur in television ever.
so aunt lydia is like this because a bloke turned her down??!! what?!

Mate, did you just spoiler TONIGHTâs episode (no 8)? A bit of warning if so. Itâs not even shown in the UK until 3 weeks on Sunday, AFAIK.
(Itâs just as possible I sort of zoned that out of last weekâs which was dragging so much for me.)
I spoilered it because its a spoiler?!
Yeah but itâs a general thread so you should mark which episode youâre spoilering. That episode wonât be out for another 3 weeks in the UK where most of the readers here are. Itâs only airing today in Australia. I didnât even think it was technically out yet, hence I clicked it assuming you were catching up on last weekâs.
I dunno Iâd say itâs shit. Itâs more just beige, which is worse if anything.
I can see how they think they can get 10 seasons out of it if this is the pace theyâll go. Money eh?
