I liked the premise, and I thought Season 1 was done well in setting up the conflicts and the characters' motivations, building up the world, and drawing a picture of the history before what is now the dystopian society known as Gilead.
Season 2, as many other reviewers note, absolutely drags things out. Season 1 had its slow moments too, but overall there were enough pivotal moments and interesting parts. In Season 2, you see some flashbacks that add barely anything to the story. Why, as an audience member, should I care? There's too much panning and watching Elizabeth Moss walk around aimlessly. I find my mind wandering pretty quickly.
I'm only going to probably stick with this, because I have a friend who still enjoys it and because I am quite curious as to how it ends. I would love to see certain despicable characters face their demise :)
