Season 5, Episode 4
7/10
Better than the first 3 episodes of season 5...

Warning: Spoilers
This episode shows a "free" June trying to reach Serena and a "free" Serena trying to reach June (great acting from Yvonne Strahovski by the way). There was a little bit of action and we could also see the tension escalating for the next episodes (I hope so). I wish I could se some more flashbacks to be honest, this is getting to unreal and not as frightening as the first seasons. Episode 4 shows a weak Canada and I dont get where is the international opinion from other countries over the situation (they talked a little about Venezuela too and I dont get the point of that).

Some questions that I keep looking for an answer over the series: where's the US government that has been installed in Alaska? Whats happening elswhere in Gilead besides the northeastern US? Okay we see a lot of rebels that flew out of Gilead but what happened to them? Is it so easy to get to the US/Canadian border and theres no patrol at all (lets remember that Gilead is at war)? What about the people fleeing to Mexico or elsewhere? They dont do any research about it?

The producers/writers are going to have to be really creative and smart to end this show as a good show, it seemed easy at first but its becoming quite frustrating. In my opinion I could see something better than the last 3 episodes of season 5. This show should have ended on season 4, but as a fan Im gonna have to be patient with the plot holes and the filler episodes.
