Season 2 Opinions and Questions (Have only watched S1 & S2 so far)
So I just finished season 2 and I have some doubts/comments about it, and honestly, I'd like to hear from you so I know if I should continue watching it or maybe wait a little.
Season 1 was really good for me, I really liked how everything was portrayed and what I liked the most is that, I felt no one was safe, the tension was there and I was stressed at all times because of the life the handmaids had.
Season 2, on the other hand, started feeling more like June was the main character (Yeah I know she is, but in Season 1 she was one handmaid more, living under the same rules all other handmaids) in a bad way, >!she escaped while pregnant and!< wasn't even punished, I know >!she was pregnant!< and everything but we had another >!pregnant woman chained!< in a basement before.
And the Cherry on top of the cake, was the fact >!she had the chance to escape and still decided to stay!<. Yeah I got it, >!her daughter was still there!< but let's be honest, what are her chances of saving her being stuck in there, either she gets killed for >!stealing a baby!< (Yeah it was >!her baby!< but not for everyone inside Gilead) or some really dark punishment I'm gonna regret to watch.
Somehow I feel like this went to the Handmaid's Tale to The Hero Handmaid and I don't like it, 'cause the plot is just helping her again and again.
Does this continue in further seasons? Do we go back to the 1st season feeling of danger and dark realism at some point? Will June continue to be protected by the plot so we can make it to Season 6?
