The Testaments Means The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 Has A Challenging Ending

It Is Hard To Make Satisfying

Thanks toThe Testaments , The Handmaid ’s Tale ’s endingis so much more challenging . The series has the seemingly unacceptable chore of craft a satisfying ending to June ' case arc while also leaving the story open for the future . June ’s main two goals have been to hold open Hannah and take down Gilead , neither of which can find beforeThe Testaments . June is in hiding in the continuation book , mean thatThe Handmaid ’s Talewill have to end with June failing at all of her goals and going into hiding . After six seasons of build up , this will be an anticlimactical way to endThe Handmaid ’s Tale .

Even ifThe Handmaid ’s Taledoes this , it is expected , which is the worst sin a series finale can intrust . direct intoThe Handmaid ’s Taleseason 6 finale , everyone who is familiar withThe Testamentswill jazz exactly what they are get . Unless something is earnestly changed , there will be no element of surprisal . It is unvoiced to have bet when the results are bias , as the spectator will know that all of June ’s actions are in vain .

The Testaments Is Still Exciting, Despite Causing Problems

It Will Continue The Franchise’s Legacy

The Testamentsis bruise its original show , but the sequel serial publication is still exciting . Aunt Lydia ’s arc is one of the most interesting parts of the book , and it will be exciting forLydia to complete herThe Testamentstransformationand become a protagonist . likewise , it will be nice to at last pass time with grown - up versions of Hannah and Nicole , who inThe Handmaid ’s Taleare both children with very little screentime .

The Handmaid ’s Tale season 6 has arrived , and it ’s not all familiar faces in the public of Gilead .

The Testamentsdoesn’t have a subsequence , mean that the ending of the continuation series is far less predictable . The show wo n’t have a status quo that it has to maintain in its finale , fixing the cock-a-hoop trouble withThe Handmaid ’s Tale ’s ending . While it is a shame that the original show will have to suffer , it is nice thatThe Testamentscan carry on the legacy ofThe Handmaid ’s Talefor a little longer .
