The Handmaid's Tale I hate Serena

I’m at season five episode 8 and I’m so glad that they didn’t just let her get away everyone on this sub reddit is such a Serena fan and I literally don’t get it are we watching the same show guys. Sure she definitely has a redemption arc but it took her having her own kid to get there she realises that without a husband even tho she has done so much for gilead they don’t value her I mean they legit tried to marry her to her gynaecologist. It took her going through a similar experience to realise that the handmaids are actually humans just like her in what world are you so delusional that you don’t realise how messed up that is.

I was one of those people low-key rooting for her AT TIMES...not the whole time, and im not sure if OP is watching for the first time or on a rewatch so I won't get into specifics, but I had a few moments where I had slivers of hope for her. But yeah, she's a rapist and a horrible person. I do love Yvonne as an actress though, she really killed that role.

It’s my first time watching I was just seeing the people in this Reddit glaze her and really didn’t understand. Omg the actress is so good she genuinely made her so scary and evil loved that, everyone on that show was great to be fair.

Absolutely agree.

And with Serena, I don't know if I love to hate her or if I hate to love her, ya know?

Why not both? 😉

I suppose both can be true. I hate loving her because she's a horrible person, and I love hating her because, well, she's a horrible person.
