What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 expanded beyond Atwood's novel and settled into a sustained bleakness, treating each new injury as something the narrative must earn. The 13-episode expansion gave the show room to explore Gilead's geography and the Colonies, and the world-building takes center stage. Response to the extended deferral of relief split, with some finding the pacing exhausting rather than purposeful.
