They’re going to keep coming for us,” June (Elisabeth Moss) says to her mother (Cherry Jones) in the series finale of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The rebellion that June led against Gilead has all but crushed the fascist regime’s key figures, but she knows an evil that powerful will not die quietly. Though the government is crumbling, June is still not reunited with her daughter Hannah, who was taken from her to be raised as a pious Gileadean when the dictatorship began.

It’s on that not-quite-hopeful note that the series based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel by the same name ends — a frighteningly realistic conclusion to a show that, over six seasons, has reflected the United States’ slide into autocracy and the erosion of women’s rights.
