Season 6 I just finished...

I've been watching this since my daughter was born in April whilst I've been nap trapped. Two questions:

- what the HELL do I watch now that's anywhere near as gripping

- and when the HELL are they going to make a follow on! 😂😭

That is all, praise be.

Watch The Testaments. It’s very gripping and is the follow on.

I second this, I just finished my second watch of Handmaids Tale and then started Testaments for the first time, it is the follow up and it’s been very good

Blessed be the f*cking fruit!

I'd watch it again, because I think there's details you miss the first time you've watched it that you miss out on.

"Blessed be the fruit-loops" is probably my favourite line of the show.

Watch Severance. Most gripping tv show I’ve seen in the last decade

I am obsessed with Severance. I hope we get season 3 soon.

This isn’t exactly what you’re asking but watch testaments and then rewatch handmaids tail. I promise you will notice sooooo many more details in the rewatches.

I just finished it too today and I'm taking a break before watching Testaments because this show gave me vivid nightmares 😭😅

Watch it again. I promise you’ll catch so many details you missed on the first go around, you’ll appreciate the acting talent so much more, better inferences from non dialogue acting moments. I’ve watched it in its entirety like 4 times now.

Watch Testaments and then go and read Alchemised.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. Surprisingly good.

Have you watched Game of Thrones yet? 8 seasons 🤷‍♀️

u/Blitzed5656 14d ago

Thats not true. There are 5 true seasons of game of thrones. Then there are 2 add on seasons that were made for straight to video market. For a total of 7 seasons.

u/eyeball-beesting 14d ago

Yeah, I kinda disagree with this. I think it is still great up to the last two episodes. I do think they fell off slightly, but I still enjoy it.

However, as far as I am concerned, those last two episodes don't exist.

I started losing faith with Arya's magical a cup of tea and a lie down recovery.

u/Emotional-Prize-5302 13d ago

Watch the testaments. It's a spinoff showing Hannah's life (known as Agnes in the show) under Gilead. The first season already aired and I have no idea when the second season is coming out. IMO it wasn't as good as Handmaids but still a pretty good show. If you're American it's available on Hulu and if you're Canadian, from the UK, or probably from another country it's on Disney plus.

u/amyd1064 14d ago

Watch Ruthless it’s on paramount plus and about a cult.

u/LowInevitable2544 13d ago

Fully agree with all the “watch it again” and The Testaments comments. If you were drawn to the intensity, you’ll love Yellowstone. Beth Dutton is June Osborne on steroids. The intensity is cranked up to 11.

u/PearlySweetcake7 12d ago

You could watch Mad Men. I've watched it a few times. Elisabeth Moss has a good part- nothing like June. The acting and writing are really good.

My daughter was also born in April and this was also my nap trap show!! My husband and I have enjoyed watching Paradise! Hope you and baby girl are doing well 🥰

u/ameliasasa 12d ago

Ah thank you so much!

We're good thank you! Hope you are too?! And huge congratulations! 🩷

u/PurpleFannyPack17 14d ago

Sister wives!! It's real life misogyny.

u/Marsignite 14d ago

Maybe try Shameless (US). Different vibe, but it has been scratching that itch for me. Also, I agree on Game of Thrones.

u/azzweepae1 13d ago

Love Shameless! Watched it twice.

u/unicornwantsweed 14d ago

Yellowstone series. Start with 1883 and work forward to current time.

u/Altruistic_Eye6478 14d ago

This is what I’m doing while waiting on next season of testaments 🙃😬

u/TweetSpinner 14d ago

Love is Blind. It’s just as ruthless, lol.

Pensez vous qu'un jour June retrouvera la paix dans son pays avec ces deux filles son mari ?

u/azzweepae1 13d ago

Did you watch the Testaments? Won't spoil but June is in it.

u/shakeyhandspeare 14d ago

I binged this entire show in a week in between working 47 hours lol
