5 Best The Handmaid's Tale Episodes, Ranked By IMDb Users
This is your starting point for a rewatch.
Many fans have been disappointed by the lack of news regarding Season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale. Since the last season premiered almost a year ago, one would expect at least a possible release date, but both the network and the production team are staying mum.
The good thing is that you can always find a few episodes to rewatch to satisfy your urge to return to the dystopian world of Gilead.
Here are the top five best episodes of The Handmaid's Tale that you might want to watch a second time, according to IMDb users.
5. Smart Power (S2E9) – 8.9
This was the episode that made even the hardcore fans of the original Margaret Atwood’s book believe in the power of the series’ writers. The way they extended the universe and made sure it perfectly translates in visuals is astonishing, and many viewers feel like this episode has truly shown all the horrors behind Gilead.
4. The Last Ceremony (S2E10) – 9.0
The episode that closely follows the previous one not only matches it in quality, but also overpowers it. The Last Ceremony is truly hard to watch, but Elisabeth Moss’ performance makes your eyes glued to the screen the entire time. Gut-wrenching, but also oddly satisfying, the episode as whole deserves its rating.
3. Night (S1E10) – 9.0
To establish itself as a series that’s worth watching, The Handmaid's Tale's team had to make sure the season finale is as dramatic and high-tier as it can be. And that’s exactly what they delivered, making a perfect first impression and giving the audience a glimpse of what’s to come in future.
2. Liars (S3E11) – 9.2
It’s always satisfying to see the villains get what they deserve, and that’s especially true for the Waterfords. This episode counts a few unexpected twists and puts a show at a pace it’s never been in before. To this day the viewers enjoy getting into all the metaphors behind the art, and all the theories about the consequences of the Liars events.
1. Mayday (S3E13) – 9.3
This episode is not only the best season finale The Handmaid’s Tale delivered to this day, but also one of the most emotional, touching and heartbreaking television episodes ever. To see every victim of this dystopian system unite and make their break to help the kids get out to Canada was the most empowering storyline of them all.
