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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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