1. Just a pet peeve of mine, but this series is about one person, June. It is The Handmaid's Tale. It is June's story and not all the ancillary characters on the show. June's story is being played out in Gilead and not in Canada. The fans who want some kind of wider story with lots of "fill-in-the-blanks" about history, what's happening everywhere outside the Boston area of Gilead, what led to the founding of Gilead or more of what's happening in Canada because of the super acting job of a minor character, are missing the point of what the story is. It is one person's story, June's.
2. I think we all have too fond of thoughts about Eleanor Lawrence. Certainly she was remorseful for what her part was in creating the living Hell that is Gilead. But, she is culpable just like Serena and the other wives who played along. Committing suicide was her sacrifice to at least try to help a few kids escape Gilead. I don't blame June for "letting her go."
3. I think the show is excellent and complaints about it being poorly written are not on target.
