The Handmaid's Tale

Season 2

The book ends at season 1 and, apparently, so did any hope of a real plot. All that remains is torture porn.

The most intriguing part of season 1 was Gilead. What would the US look like if the religious righr were to take over? That was compelling and terrifying.

In season 2, we lose quit a bit of that. We just don't learn as much about Gildead and instead the show becomes more of a standard drama - will the lovers be together? Can the protagonist win her adversairies over to her side? what will happen with the baby? None of that was near as compelling.

Not a bad season, not just as compelling as the beginning. I'm likely out for season 3.
