Rating: 3/5 stars
Verdict: "The Testaments" is polished, well-acted and still uncomfortably relevant, given today’s political climate. But for all its timely themes, it struggles to break free from "The Handmaid’s Tale’s" shadow, often feeling like a rehash rather than a reinvention. Worth watching for the performances, especially Chase Infiniti, but not exactly essential viewing.
Release schedule: Episodes 1-3 streaming now, then once weekly every Wednesday at 12 a.m. ET.
Where to watch: Hulu
To be honest, I wasn’t exactly clamoring to go back to Gilead.
