Fans Reveal Their Shocking Reactions to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Finale You Won’t Believe!

BBG News

Following an eight-year run and six seasons, Hulu’s hit series “The Handmaid’s Tale” reached its dramatic end today after airing a total of 66 episodes. Although not every loose end was neatly wrapped up, it offered a fitting finale that leaves fans eager for the upcoming sequel series, “The Testaments“. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, lauding the show’s dedication to quality, although, as the old saying goes, satisfaction isn’t always universal.

User @WendyClapp1 expressed that the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is some of the best television they’ve ever witnessed. In contrast, user @lifeinpolaroid had a note for those with negative opinions, stating:

It leaves me wondering whether those who are upset with the finale of The Handmaid’s Tale series, yet proclaim themselves devoted readers of the original novel and its sequel, have actually read them thoroughly.

Absolutely, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has its critics, such as @CeCeCannes, who found the final season confusing and referred to it as a “mess.” Conversely, there are fans like @cicily_277, who were pleased with the finale, stating that it was the perfect conclusion for the series and a setup for “The Testaments.” Notably, the narrative will carry on in the sequel series, which shares the same title and is also derived from Margaret Atwood’s novel. This upcoming show focuses on Aunt Lydia, Hannah, and Daisy, with production currently underway for a potential 2026 release.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Broke New Ground for Streaming Shows

Debuting as far back as 2017, The Handmaid’s Tale made history by being the first streaming series to clinch the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. Throughout its run, the show demonstrated consistent excellence in storytelling with only a few minor hiccups. Although some viewers weren’t entirely satisfied with the final season, many were content with its conclusion, such as @VampiiBunnz, who remarked that it was “time to cry” following the finale. @truemoncai found it reasonably engaging, but there was one aspect they yearned for more of:

While I enjoyed most aspects of this season of The Handmaid’s Tale, what disappointed me was the lack of focus on the revolution. Having to wait six entire seasons for just a few episodes about their path to freedom felt like a significant anticlimax.

Without giving anything away for those yet to watch it, we share the same sentiment as @truemoncai, who remarked, “That was the only fitting ending for ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.”’ We’ll conclude by echoing @megs_1194’s thoughts: “It couldn’t have ended any other way.

From beginning to end, The Handmaid’s Tale was an exceptionally powerful TV series. In today’s context, a show like this carries immense significance. As June Osborne said, ‘It was our lack of resistance that led us to Gilead in the first place.’

If you haven’t watched it already, the complete six seasons of “The Handmaid’s Tale” can be streamed on Hulu right now. Stay tuned for updates on “The Testaments” as more information comes in.
