Am I the only one amazed that no one has made a face at how awful Janine and June smell? Not even them commenting on it themselves? It’s rotten milk! I can barely stand good milk smell.#TheHandmaidsTale pic.twitter.com/R8WDYecnhj

Somebody else added, "I could not figure out why they kept those robes on (and the hats!) for so long."

"A show is nearing its end when they start trying to save money on special effects."
