Q re Handmaid's Tale & All4 app

MrCostington

I've been watching The Handmaid's Tale the past couple of months on the ALL4 app. On one of the house ads that play before the show starts, it said something like "watch all episodes of the Handmaid's Tale free before (or until?) 29 Nov.

I don't use ALL 4 that much, does that mean it will be gone for me on the 29th even though I'm halfway through it?

Assuming so, I'm on S2E11 I think, would I be missing out much if I just did S3 and stopped there. Since there is talk of a S5, I assume there was no epic ending or conclusion at the end?

Are ALL4 likely to show this again, perhaps when S5 is released?

Anyway, Praise be :)

I don't think it's really a series you could just miss a season of without losing a lot. The quality has deteriorated as each season goes though... Season 5 is still in production and isn't likely to be released until next Autumn so you should have a while to catch up on it... RTE show the series too so it may pop up on the RTE Player in advance of Season 5...

The Dvds of all four seasons can be borrowed from your local library.

I've not darkened that door in a long time, good reason to start again! How long would they let you take them out for?

Three weeks. Items can be renewed up to five times if no-one else has requested it. Your local library is likely to have to order the dvd from another library which may take two to three weeks to arrive.

Thank you!

I'll see how far I can get before the 29th and take stock when I finish S3 (just finished S2 last night) and if it looks like I cant do S4 I'll order it at the library.

Thanks for the link!
