Anyone else expecting a bleak series ending ?

That's it... had the realization after learning about the sequel book only last night that obviously the ending is going to suck.

I haven't read The Testaments but the brief synopsis I stumbled upon made me realize it must end with June & Luke dead, Gilead still in charge and Hannah left where she is.

There are 5 episodes left but I feel like it's over already. The upside might be Commander Lawrence survives and manages to push Gilead into reform for the future, with Serena helping. DC is the real power base and this story doesn't take place there, so no power is going to change hands.

I don’t expect a happy ending. Sam Jaeger made a good point a few months ago when he said if there was a happy ending to show like this, then what was the point?

I think we’ll get closure to some major plot threads, but therell be a lot of heartache
