Reactions
60 of 239 · most liked firstWatching The Testaments on my flight with Joe Biden (what a sentence) & it’s good; but its still frustrating how this show, like Handmaids Tale before it, is dead set on only superficially showing the racial underpinnings that would come with a patriarchal Christofascist US regime like Gilead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching people react to The Testaments (a sequel to the show The Handmaid's Tale) is interesting because it seems like people haven't internalized the idea that people who do evil things are also capable of acting sweet and loving.
neutral · AI labelView post →Vibing with The Testaments, which is maybe a little too beholden to its parent series but which shifts the aesthetics and underlying story architecture of said parent series just enough to feel like it's doing something truly new. "What if Glee took place in a dystopia?" is a good pitch for a show!
positive · AI labelView post →As one of the approximately 12 people on BlueSky who watches The Testaments, let me just say that Chase Infiniti's Emmy nomination here is incredibly well-deserved. She was fantastic in that show.
positive · AI labelView post →The doll 🥰 Chase Infiniti for an Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series, for her work in 'The Testaments' at the Gotham Television Awards. 🏆
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg if you watched The Handmaids Tale There is a Follow Up series on HULU called The Testaments ‼️ Watching it now!
neutral · AI labelView post →Did anyone attempt a Handmaids Tale re-watch to prepare for The Testaments? I feel like that might be the worst thing I could possibly do to myself, but at the same time my memory for tv shows is horrible these days and I would love to pick up on the Easter eggs I hear are used in the new series.

neutral · AI labelView post →In The Handmaid's Tale spin-off sequel series, "The Testaments" one character tells another "curiosity got Eve kicked out of the garden" and damn why are they letting Gilead have bangers like that

neutral · AI labelView post →The Testaments has forced me to catch up on The Handmaid's Tale + I can't overstate how bad this show got. Just watched an episode whose dialogue included "We are the ones we've been waiting for" + "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees." Kicker: "Suffragette City" in a brothel scene
negative · AI labelView post →Well bonjour les ORCs! Day 3 home alone. I took half a sleeping tablet & slept from 10! Watched the 1st 3 episodes of "The Testaments" last night! Really good! Then carried on rewatching "A Place to Call Home" - brilliant series. Ladies Lunch today going to "Chez Arsène" - get us! Bon journée!!!

neutral · AI labelView post →I finally finished the last season of The Handmaid’s Tale so I could catch up watching The Testaments and now I’m nearly caught up. Might need to punch something when I’m finished with this show 🤯😡 oh my godd
positive · AI labelView post →This is truly my superpower. I can spot a sighthound, whether real or rendered in art form, in the fleeting background scene in a show or movie, no matter how fast the camera is panning. This is in The Testaments. I can spot a real life sighthound from LITERALLY a mile away, also. #sighthounds
neutral · AI labelView post →Started watching The Testaments, the new Handmaid's show on Hulu. Too close for comfort. Well done. Going to be smart and not push it today. Bland is getting boring. Cheers.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't think I posted my review of Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" sequel, "The Testaments" yesterday:
neutral · AI labelView post →Chase Infiniti has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for ‘The Testaments’ at the 2026 Emmys.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am really enjoying your analysis of this important novel. I’m curious to know if you have also watched the television show on Hulu or read the sequel THE TESTAMENTS.
neutral · AI labelView post →Leaving aside that police procedurals about institutional misogyny are a major British industry, calling it the first thriller for a "post-Epstein world" is ridiculous — "The Testaments," whatever you think about it, is 100% a thriller for the post-Epstein world — but... "Furious" is a good show.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's been a busy week. - Shrinking had their season 4 finale and it really felt like a series finale. Supposedly it was originally planned as such but they decided to do one more season. - Invincible came in hot this week after a huge episode last week. Quality is just so good. - The Boys is back for its final season and it kicked off a strong two episode premiere. - Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord premiered and is off to a good start. Lots of potential and things to set up, but I like where we're…

neutral · AI labelView post →Book 50 of 2026 It’s been a little while since I last read this series, oh the slow burn between Hazel and Noah… Book 51 The Testaments wrapped up Handmaids nicely for me with a connection between characters that was obvious right from the start. #reading #goals #BookSky 📚
neutral · AI labelView post →I find it interesting that The Handmaids Tale and The Testaments make no mention of Jesus in the books or the series on Hulu. In light of the current claims from southern Christian evangelicals' recent claims of oppression and persecution and the rise of antisemitism seams a little strange.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching the sequel show "The Testaments". One of the themes of the show is that, in Gilead, girls are groomed & once they start menstruating they become "eligible" for "marriage selection". Their main/only purpose is to be breeding machines for old creepy men. That's where Dr. Oz is heading.
neutral · AI labelView post →You guys, The Testaments....... As a woman in a deeply patriarchal nation who was a teenager just like the teenagers on the show when Saddam ruled Iraq with an iron fist, JUST WOW!
positive · AI labelView post →Earlier in the week I (very indirectly) got a letter from Margaret Atwood. It's for the book sharing scheme I run and was part of a book giveaway for The Testaments, the Handmaid's Tale sequel which is also a TV series on Disney+/Hulu. I didn't expect a letter with it, let alone the charming drawing

neutral · AI labelView post →i'm finally in a decent headspace, so it's time to pound down the first 3 episodes of The Handmaid's Tale. i'm glad it's over after this season, tho i heard they're already planning on creating a series for The Testaments, as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →From The Handmaid's Tale Fans: 1. Watching The Testaments and I need to say something unpopular: this show isn't a warning anymore — it's a mirror, and a lot of us are still pretending it's fiction. That muzzle isn't a costume. It's a metaphor we've normalized in real life — just dressed up
neutral · AI labelView post →@badgerbleu2.bsky.social I don't know if you're watching "The Testaments"; it's really good. It's based on Margaret Atwood's book, "The Handmaid's Tale," which was another good series on Hulu.
positive · AI labelView post →👀 I'm enjoying watching The Testaments series. 👌
positive · AI labelView post →Can I watch The Testaments without watching The Handmaid’s Tale? Elizabeth Moss being a raging Scientologist on a show about religious abuse really fucks with my brain and something I can’t see past I have read both booos

Sad that will be the last but there are rumours Margaret Attwood’s next book ‘The Testaments’ might be filmed🤞 (Think it’s available on Prime & Now) m.imdb.com/title/tt5834...

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, they were fuzzy about this in the TV series. However, the three books in the Handmaid's Tale series by Margaret Atwood go into a bit more detail: The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments and The Penelopiad. Reading all three books really enriched my viewing experience.
neutral · AI labelView post →I finally figured out this painting ! It's of two characters from The Testaments, the spinoff to The Handmaid's Tale series by Margaret Atwood. Daisy and Hannah, really love this show, and Margaret Atwood is an absolute legend!
positive · AI labelView post →One thing I love about Handmaids Tale and The Testaments (both books and series) is that you can’t ever pin anyone down or predict their motives, but not in that cheap “we’re doing it just to fuck with you” way
positive · AI labelView post →I finally finished a show or two, but ended up picking up two or three in exchange I'm not complaining - getting my streaming money's worth My current top three: Maul: Shadow Lord (Disney+) Spider-Noir (Prime) The Testaments (Hulu) #SerializdSaturday #TVsky 📺 #NowWatching
positive · AI labelView post →When you've been writing a novel on and off for a few years and then you start reading The Testaments after watching the show because you heard the books are quite different and realise you've just been writing the Testaments but without the religious fascism parts.
