'The Testaments' Season 1 Review: A Tee-Up Season for More to Come

There’s a lot to cover in The Testaments, a narrative continuation of The Handmaid’s Tale based on author Margaret Atwood’s 2019 book about the eventual fall of Gilead. The story we expected will probably be fulfilled eventually, but Season 1 is more like a tee-up for action to come than it is a fast-moving story weaving you through the eventual takedown of the totalitarian society. That’s both a good and bad thing. On the negative side, it means the season is a slow burn through which you get important context and perspective, but not much else. On the positive, however, this demonstrates clear intent for the series to run multiple seasons to take you on a compelling, harrowing journey. This isn’t a miniseries, so don’t expect the show to come in with a bang.
