There’s a lot of world-building across the season’s slow-moving ten episodes, which feels like a waste given how familiar even casual TV watchers are with the original series. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 2d
3/5
[Chase Infiniti] is compelling and when she’s on-screen The Testaments flourishes. The show goes to Infiniti and beyond. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 3d
A pickled fairy tale brined in the tears of teenage girls, The Testaments is different enough from The Handmaid’s Tale to be engaging, yet too exhaustingly connected to that series to stand as something truly distinctive and provocative. Go to Full Review Alise Chaffins Loud and Clear Reviews 2d
3.5/5
This return to Gilead...feels like it has learned some lessons from its predecessor, but balancing the tone of a dystopian story, especially one involving younger characters, still feels out of reach, making this a mixed bag. Go to Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) 2d
2.5/4
This initial offering feels like little more than a setup for the story to come. The faltering fiction offered here certainly doesn’t justify 10 episodes, the runtimes of which range from about 35 minutes to nearly an hour. Go to Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable 2d
"The Testaments" finds new power in its young adult perspective, centering on people who have never known anything but authoritarianism, but who are slowly gaining the resolve to do something about it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
