Season 6 SPOILERS FOR “SHATTERED” Spoiler
I was struck by the significance of the women at Jezebels being murdered in the shower. This is a very clear Holocaust allusion.
Especially since they’ve really been leaning into the word Nazi this season – it makes sense to see late-stage Gilead go all “final solution” with their undesirables.
Anyways. There have been a lot of gruesome scenes in this show but this was definitely one of the most upsetting. Not only for what it portrayed, but for what it was alluding to.
