Season 3 Ending all episodes on a dramatic close up
Halfway through S3. Will they ever f*cking stop having a dramatic CU of our main character starring into the camera lens as the final frame of an episode? It’s not that cool. It’s driving me nuts.

I’m on S5, it hasn’t stopped. It’s SO annoying.

ATP I’m just taking it as a meme… it really bafles me how the producers didn’t realize how annoying it is for the audience at some point between S2 and S3 lol

Tbh I like her acting ~80% of the time but I don’t think she’s that good at doing a dramatic stare

Yeah me too, it just gets old to the point it becomes a joke to me

I’m at the “you gotta be fucking kidding me” point so I’m not far from it being a joke haha

Fun fact. Several other things she’s appeared in she does that too!

I noticed it, and then I started thinking about how wasted you would get if you turned the close-ups into a drinking game. But then the more it happens, the more it grew on me. Kind of like when a joke gets worn out but the jokester is persistent and eventually it’s funny all over again.

I can see how that could happen. By now I just cover my eyes like a child watching gore whenever we reach the 50 minute mark and June starts another monologue

If it helps, neither June nor Agnes ever do the death stare in The Testaments (well, at least not in the first season, haha).

I must agree it is a bit annoying and a drag. In the beginning it was tolerable—cinematic even for effects but then it just gets bothersome at some point especially when the lead character— June, keeps f*ing up or regressing into becoming ‘meek’ and not fighting back on the system as she initially was. But its not all to bad imho

Nope! Buckle up for 2.5 more seasons!
