The Handmaid's Tale - S3 • E9 Ratings & Reviews
AwardsWatch
Catherine Springer
June now has a new mission. But how successful will she be? How mentally stable is she? Does she have any friends or allies left? Many questions-let's hope we get some answers soon.
Guardian
Abigail Chandler
What a dark, disconcerting hour of TV.
Slashfilm
Caroline Cao
The bottle episode weeds out black comedy in the bleakness, but the biggest dark laughs comes from June scoping out her potential stabbing victims to the beats of "Eenie, meenie, miney" - then, when Serena Joy walks in - "mo."
entertainment.ie
Brian Lloyd
That we're now a total of nine episodes in and we're nowhere near any kind of movement, just tells you that 'The Handmaid's Tale' needs to get cracking.
Father Son Holy Gore
C.H. Newell
Overall, it's a great bit of writing, plus there are more women penning scripts this time around + more women behind the camera.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
"Heroic" becomes an acting master class in conveying interiority, with Moss selling June's increasing instability like the professional she no longer has to prove herself as.
Den of Geek
Louisa Mellor
Heroic was an accomplished TV episode, even if its character moments didn't all convince.
Cosmopolitan
Emily Tannenbaum
This week's episode is unbearable to watch. That's on purpose.
Independent (UK)
Ed Power
That's Gilead - and, in this softly softly episode, the full horror is peeled back with a quiet ferocity.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
Heroic is intimate, dark, and scary in a way that we have seen before, but with more urgency this time.
Tell-Tale TV
Jennifer Lind-Westbrook
With each passing season of The Handmaid's Tale, June's purpose becomes less coherent.
Pajiba
Hannah Sole
A boldly claustrophobic episode that will probably divide viewers.
TV Fanatic
Tonya Myers
All actions have consequences and June had to learn the hard way...that she was not the exception to that rule.
TV Line
Kimberly Roots
While We'll make Heaven a place on Earth my mental torture Oooooooooh is nothing compared to what June goes through during the hour...
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
Unfortunately, this evocative, expertly made bottle episode can't recover from the major missteps that came before.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Hillary Kelly
June's slow plotting, and that grimacing reach into the sharps disposal box, are so off course for The Handmaid's Tale that they feel fresh and invigorating.
Refinery29
Elena Nicolaou
This was 49 minutes of pure torture camp. It was hard to watch. I get it - that's the point of The Handmaid's Tale. But maybe I'm tired of watching it.
Inverse
Mae Abdulbaki
With a plan in the works and Handmaids on her side, June is setting things in motion and Gilead won't know what hit them.
Forbes
Erik Kain
'Heroic' was a good episode, better than the last few, but utterly miserable.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
It's a solid episode in theory and something less than that as a way to wrap up this arc.
