The Testaments (S01E01-03)

Blessed be today, as we dive into The Testaments, Hulu’s sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale. In this episode, we break down the first three chapters, “Precious Flowers,” “Perfect Teeth,” and “Daisy,” and dig into the show’s biggest early hooks: Gilead’s twisted school system, the new generation of girls being raised inside its rules, and Agnes’s relationship with the new Pearl recruit. We also discuss the return of familiar characters, the show’s departures from the book, and whether this feels like a worthy continuation of the original series. Which characters seem most likely to turncoat? Where are the Handmaids? And how many years have actually passed? Those are just a few of the questions we’re unpacking this week. Tune in, and welcome to Today’s Episode.
