The Handmaid's Tale - S1 • E8 Ratings & Reviews
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
The Handmaid's Tale seems to flounder when it takes its eyes off its female leads.
Vice
Genevieve Valentine
The show wants its Commander young and disgusting, and Joseph Fiennes delivers. Every smile is shark teeth, every line brushed with cod liver oil. This Commander knows exactly what he's doing.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
Nick lies back, and we get our first glimpse into his backstory! Finally! I've been wondering about this from the very beginning. Nick seemed almost too normal -- how the hell did he end up with the Waterfords?
Entertainment Weekly
Jessica Derschowitz
There's no rabbit hole for Offred to escape through (if only!), but she's brought into a new facet of this strange new world. Curiouser and curiouser, indeed.
Vox
Caroline Framke
The show is also shading out the Commander in a way I'm not sure I can quite track, though I'm interested enough to give it the benefit of the doubt, for now. (This is, not for nothing, in part thanks to Joseph Fiennes's impressive performance.)
New York Times
Angelica Jade Bastién
The episode's potential is squandered as the writers choose to focus on Nick's back story and thorny relationship with Offred rather than put Moira in the spotlight.
Guardian
Julia Raeside
This is not the adaptation I know and love, and this has been my least favourite episode of the series. I hope it regains its original tone next week.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Laura Hudson
This is why structural inequality and the systems of our cultures are so important: By and large, they determine how monstrous we become.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
Episode eight did little to advance the plot or deepen our understanding of Offred or her tormentor. And yet it sand-blasted our senses as Waterford brought his chattel to a quasi-official house of ill repute.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
It's unsurprising that Elisabeth Moss and Samira Wiley are great here, and frustrating that their scenes feel so brief.
