I think it lost a lot of it's impact after season two. It felt more like treading water than actually continuing a compelling story. June's plot armor made the stakes feel really low. Ending episodes and seasons with it looking like June was done for were never cliffhangers to me because everybody knew she was coming back. Putting Moira or Luke or Hannah or Nick in danger would have actually made me worry. Most of the 3rd and 4th season are a blur because they seemed to have a singular theme that they tried to tie to the larger plot and it felt sloppy. Like all the handmaids gathering in Canada to take out waterford? That's was weird. I can most of the episodes from seasons one and two because they were distinct from each other, often had their own plots to contributed to the larger themes and story. I felt that sort of storytelling got lost in the later seasons.

But now that we are into the final seasons, I am feeling the episodes are able to hold their own and are working us forward in the overall story.

I was watching my dude play Fallout 4 when we first started dating because we have such different play styles. I stealth and vats. He literally just punched everything. So I am very squishy and he is huge and buff. He walked into a super mutant compound and I see a mini nuke coming at him and it explodes on him and he is still alive and goes in running to punch every super mutant in the butt until he clears the compound. I was staring at the screen going "did you just tank a mini nuke?!" And he just shrugged like NBD. It was a formative moment in our relationship. We have been together for ten years now.
