I noped out of the show after like the first season but I loved The Testaments and am WAITING for that Aunt Lydia. (Or I think they're also adapting the Testaments? IDK.)
It's interesting both this show and the movie adaptation (QUITE a while ago now) both killed off the Commander, altho June had help in the show. Atwood did the movie adaptation, and I think she was influenced by a lot of criticism that June was too passive in the book -- people REALLY wanted the guy to pay for his crimes and for her to be the one to do it. June in the show is such a different character by now!
