"They could have ended the season with that scene of him being beaten to death and I would've felt totally satisfied," one viewer wrote on Reddit. "I don't think I've ever watched a show that made me say 'thank you writers' so f–ing much!"
"I loved the poetic comparison of the way handmaid's were expected to deal out punishment in Gilead and how they killed Fred," another fan shared. "Beautiful mirroring."
"I got goosebumps so fast when June said 'run' to Fred," tweeted one person. "Finally got some justice."
"He literally formed his own executioners. He helped make the laws. He is partly responsible for having handmaids carry out salvagings, allowing them to get that comfortable with violence," wrote another. "It was a sight to see."
"I laughed like a crazy person during the entire thing and my mother was like dude wtf and I was like mom, you don't even wanna get me started on what this scum of a human deserves," a redditor said, with another writing, "I was doing the 'girl clap'. The one where you do the short sharp claps just below your chin and giggle. You know you're at peak levels of unapologetic TV induced bloodlust when you do the girl clap. That's just facts."
"The ending was perfect," praised another viewer. "June's deep breath, the song choice, Emily's smirk before joining in, the look of fear on his face, the bite, ALL OF IT!"
