Yvonne Strahovski says it herself. “She's hateable.” Serena's run throughout The Handmaid's Tale is absolutely littered with questionable and, in some cases, heinous decisions. But, this is the power of a force like Strahovski. Sometimes, in between terrible choices, Serena will get an opportunity to turn to the light, and even after everything she's done, you can't help but hope she finally reaches out, takes the lifeline, and forges a better path forward. However, time and time again, she back pedals and becomes consumed by self-righteousness, often at others' expense, and Season 6 is no different.At the top of the Emmy-winning series' sixth and final season, Serena was close to finding a way out. She winds up on a train to Alaska with June (Elisabeth Moss) where she can get a fresh start with Noah. However, old habits die hard and her behavior ultimately exposes her identity and turns the train passengers into an angry mob. Thanks to June, she manages to escape the riot, but rather than continue her pursuit of a new path forward, she returns to Gilead to settle in Commander Lawrence's (Bradley Whitford) New Bethlehem. While she's promised things will be different there, it quickly becomes clear that that's not the case, something Serena's own leadership tactics perpetuate.With The Handmaid's Tale nearing its big finish, Strahovski returned to Collider Ladies Night to dig into some of Serena's biggest moments in this final go-around, and to reflect on her experience tackling the character for six seasons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The final season of The Handmaid's Tale started airing on Neon last week, and actress Yvonne Strahovski is looking back on her creative journey after six seasons. Strahovski co-stars as Serena Joy Waterford - an architect and prisoner of the show's dystopian regime. She says it's been an 'extraordinary' journey taking on the role of Serena. "This has been such an amazing opportunity for me to be so challenged and grow and work on my craft, my artistry - everything I want to do as a performer."

Travis Akbar catches up with Angel of Mine director, Kim Farrant, to discuss the process of making the film. Read Travis' thoughts on the film here: Inspired by the 2008 French film Mark of an Angel, Kim Farrant's 2019 effort Angel of Mine is about a woman who has lost her child in a fire, and was almost killed herself, and after seeing a young girl at a party, believes her child may still be alive. What follows is a fantastic, eerie performance from the nothing-short-of-great Noomi Rapace, as Lizzie, the desperate, obsessed and bordering on dangerous grieving mother. Yvonne Strahovski, making up for the outrageously bad film that was The Predator, plays Claire, the protective, instinctive mother of Lola, the girl that Lizzie has become so obsessed with.Angel of Mine, adapted by Luke Davies (Lion, Catch-22) and David Regal (Zeke and Luther) follows a seemingly generic path as far as obsession films go - the character finds something to become obsessed with, they turn up out of the blue, watching, being seen watching, causing distress up until some form of thrilling climax. But I felt that there were two things that put the film a step above most obsession thrillers I've seen. The first was the characters. In most obsession thrillers it's pretty clear cut who is good guy and who is the bad guy, but in Angel of Mine, this line is blurred. The protagonist and antagonist aren't so clear cut. While Rapace's Lizzie clearly has issues, you can't help but think, maybe she's right? But what does that make Strahovski's Claire? Innocent mother? Sadistic Kidnapper? There's plenty of questions but not a lot of answers, until, the thrilling climax. The characters being difficult to read was the best part, it kept my interest level high.The second thing that helped keep the film a step up, was the performances. As I wrote earlier, Rapace gave an eerie performance and it was really quite well done. Rapace is one of my favourite actresses and she did not skip a beat here. She is great, her facial expressions, body language - she is haunted and clearly suffering from grief. I found her to be very convincing, I felt sorry for her. Strahovski was also great, she was strong, protective, intuitive and her performance showed this. Richard Roxborough played Claire's husband, the more laid back, less suspecting cool dad who takes a lot more convincing that someone is stalking his daughter – Roxborough steps from one role to the next with ease, always a dependable performer. He does no wrong here. Luke Evans is also along for the ride playing Lizzie's ex-husband. Evans role was the smaller than the aforementioned actors, but he was just as good. With a raspy, frustrated voice, Evans couldn't convince Rapace by any means that she needed to stop what she was doing. That she needed help. I loved his performance, especially in his final scenes, which were only brief, but had a big impact on me emotionally. The girl in question, Lola, is played by Annika Whiteley, and she is also fantastic – sweet and innocent, unknowingly a target.Angel of Mine is your standard slow-burn thriller that is far more enjoyable because of Farrant's direction and excellent performances, especially Rapace, and will keep you guessing until the very end.Support The Curb on Patreon, and make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

From 2011: I’m a huge fan of NBC’s “Chuck,” the show where Bomer first made his big career splash as Bryce Larkin, the superspy that turned Chuck Bartkowski into the Intersect. He was also Sarah’s boyfriend. And one more thing: Brett Ratner was right and Bryan Singer was wrong; Matt Bomer would have made a great Superman.
Je bent in een bosrijk gebied je werk aan het doen. Terwijl je door je scherpschuttersgeweer de vijand onder schot probeert te nemen, komt er een grote vuurbal uit de hemel gevallen. Je kunt hem maar net ontwijken. Bij het wrakschip aangekomen blijkt het een buitenaards schip te zijn... The Predator is weer terug op aarde. In deze aflevering geven Nils en Narana hun spoilervrije review over The Predator.

From 2008: When last we saw Lester, one of the morally challenged Buy More employees on the NBC spy comedy “Chuck,” he was making more than eye contact with fellow employee Morgan’s girlfriend, Anna. Morgan saw them and was heartbroken. Anna, had it even worse: she was repulsed. Poor misunderstood Lester. Doing somewhat better, I suspect, is the actor who plays Lester, Vik Sahay (Sa-High), who joins us this morning to talk about one of Mr. Media’s favorite shows, “Chuck.”
From 2010: Welcoming Yvonne Strahovski to the show is the easiest thing I’ve had to do since starting out four years ago. As Chuck’s long repressed girlfriend, Sarah, Yvonne has made an impression for everything she brings to the role besides being the sweetest eye candy on the planet. She plays a woman who kicks ass, male and female, takes a backseat to no man or woman, is smart, intuitive and an excellent example of the kind of character that every dad should want his teen to admire and respect.
Yvonne Strahovski sat down with HFPA journalist Ana Maria Bahiana to talk about her character of Serena Joy Waterford on The Handmaid's Tale, why her character is so desperate, miserable, harsh and brutal, and covering up her vulnerability and loneliness with a brave face. They also talk about her filming the second season while pregnant. She also talks about her journey from Australia to Los Angeles, settling into a new city while filming "Chuck", her role on "Dexter", and the current women's movement.
In the longest episode in a while, Sarah, Kendyl and newbie Drew discuss the television adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale, loving the extra depth of the characters, figuring out who is Mayday, and giving their hopes for season 2. Question of the Week: Who do you think is in Mayday? Nick, Rita, new Ofglen? Follow us!

And Elli in her 'kerchief and Awesome in his cap, they've just woken from a long network enforced nap... This is what all of you TV Talk Podcast listeners have been waiting for...
