’ June, all while reducing her from a recognizable human into a character history. The show made the point that June had been altered by trauma too well. Now, though, June feels liberated; in the wake of Season 4’s conclusion, in which our heroine led a mob killing of her tormentor , Moss’ performance feels opened up, and so does the series’ creative universe.
It’s not her punishment we root for, exactly: indeed, a question haunting this season is what it means, and whether it is possible, to forgive true harm. But the reversal allows every character to show a new side. In Strahovski’s case, that’s a penitence that’s still shaded with Serena Joy’s pride and near-total inability to truly concede wrong.
And yet the show feels unbounded, as we see our way towards both a possible end to Gilead and, crucially, a world outside it. June had reached Canada before this season, but it’s now that the choices that lie before her feel clearly outlined and revealing of a character, not just the problems a character faces.
