The Handmaid's Tale - S2 • E9 Ratings & Reviews
entertainment.ie
Fiona Flynn
The best and most uplifting part of the entire episode, nay, series to date, was when Nick delivered the news to June that Luke loved her, that he would never give up, and oh yeah, that Moira escaped and is alive and well.
Guardian
Julia Raeside
The koshing of Janine was callous, but the spewing rage aimed at the Waterfords went some way to diluting the usual grimness. What would have been a 4 rises to a 6, thanks to Isaac's casual brutality.
Tell-Tale TV
Jennifer Lind-Westbrook
The Handmaid's Tale continues to entangle several key characters in unlikely alliances.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
The Handmaid's Tale achieved a milestone in that it finally got me to sympathize with Serena, "Smart Power" does something far more essential. It holds her accountable.
What the Flick?!

This show gives you the chance of revolution...No matter how dire the circumstances are, there are people who are going to fight it and maybe topple it.

[Fred] is so smug about the whole thing that I want to take the sign Luke is holding and stick it where the Good Shepherd's countenance will never shine upon it.
New York Magazine/Vulture

There really is no rational reason that Canada would invite the Waterfords at all. But Handmaid's Tale had to kick-start what I'm assuming will be further escalating tensions with our no-longer-friendly neighbors to the north.

We finally have some movement, and God knows, we needed it. As much as I love this show, it has been frustrating that nothing ever goes anywhere.
New York Times
Judy Berman
In this season of "The Handmaid's Tale," Serena's catastrophic lack of foresight about Gilead has made her the show's most fascinating character.
Entertainment Weekly
David Canfield
Handmaid's works best at its most humane and this meditative, quietly devastating episode is, accordingly, one of the season's very best.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
"Smart Power," a tense hour of The Handmaid's Tale, is a carefully wrought piece of television that mostly sets the stage for what's to come, and yet there's something about it that lingers.
Independent (UK)
Christopher Hooton
I can't praise the creators, cast and crew behind The Handmaid's Tale enough, the show is soaring in its post-source material era, perhaps even topping the novel-based first season.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
I hate love triangles, but this one fell into place in a way that couldn't be helped. I love them all, and with the honesty that's currently at play, it's impossible to choose a happy ending for June, but I sure hope she gets one.
Paste Magazine
Amy Glynn
Whoa.
Vox
Constance Grady
The Canadian plot line also created enough distance from Gilead that it really hit me, for the first time in a while, just how vile the Commander is.

Cheryl Eddy
While "Smart Power" does contain a few awful moments, taken as a whole it's the most triumphant hour season two has delivered so far.
