Sonia Thind

For me it was unremarkable. Enjoyable yes. Predictable, yes. I felt the exploration into who Aunt Lydia was, was an important one. Yes she was a judge but we know judges in America span from liberal to textualist conservative. Where was she, what shaped her. That would have gone some way to unpick her survival in Gilead and what ensued eventually. (trying not to drop spoilers) I hate to say this but I found the plot flaky and inevitable, which is sad. These stellar characters should have been forces but it’s as if they were cutting corners to get to the end, which made them flat and somewhat lifeless. I just expected it to be better. I expected grit and it seemed something of a fairy tail ending.
