I can see a few comments feeling conflicted about Nick but I feel the total opposite. Nobody in Gilead can stay pure and not have blood on their hands. Even June as we see in Season 3. That's what makes this show so good. The complex characters. Nobody is all good. Apart from maybe Janine but even she gets Stockholm syndrome and has genuine affection for Aunt Lydia. I think the portrayal of the human condition is far more real in this than any other show. Albeit heightened. Why are some complicit while others resist? Why are some able to bend while others break. Everyone has the capacity to be cruel and kind. In this dystopian nightmare of a world I love the fact that they found and created something precious beautiful in falling in love and June's choice to love him is possibly the ONLY choice she gets to make for herself. I hope that in Season 4 they do end up together as June is entirely different to the wife Luke remembers now. Forged by pain and fire and Nick was in there with her and can relate. If a relationship can be forged in Gilead it can survive anything.
She put them Together..June had to produce a pregnancy within a period of time..June was Her Surrogate..Nick was to be her Husband's..even in secret..He volunteered for the job to keep her alive...Her Doctor did too.
Virginia Porter that would be a good storyline. I would like to see Luke’s ex-wife pop up and bump into June somehow. Wouldn’t it be crazy if his ex ended up a commanders wife?
People are hinting that Nick is hiding who he really is...3rd season also hints at this. I hope not. He seems to be June's little bit of happiness..him and Hannah
But the question is what is he hiding? A double agent gone rouge or someone so deep he has to go forward to get out? There so much more to it we will have to find out about in season four.
Mary Petrie i think he was drafted but never fully brain washed. Sort of like the if you can’t beat them join them scenario. I don’t think he was completely ever changed so he’s still good, but just cowardly. In season 4 it appears he will be fighting for the right cause as well as Lawrence. The atmosphere of the series is definitely going to change this coming season. I think it will either make or break the future of the show.
The "revelation" of Nick's involvement in the war was a revelation for June and not for the audience. We been knew that he was involved in early stages of SoJ and therefore was probably in the war. Remember that refugee Moira talked to after she escaped from Gilead and started working with asylums in Canada? That guy said that he was a soldier in the war and after that all of them were converted into Guardians. Perhaps this also what happened with Nick. In the S3e6 he tired to warn June about "getting into bed with the government" because "it is very difficult to get out of it". Maybe it was too late for him to get out of this since he was desparate guy looking for job. He is ambiguous about his allegiance but so far it seems that his morality is different from that of Gilead. But of course, him being a double agent and stuff are just theories (plausible onea tho). We'll just have to wait and watch. Now that he is no longer a driver, things could be different for him.
Season 4 Spoiler Alert: I think Nick was down on his luck before Gilead and got into something he didn't know what it was. I also think he didn't especially care what was happening prior to June. In season 4 when he was talking with Lawrence about the border policy, he said June changed the both of them.
I think what hit him was the first handmaid killing herself. But when he fell in love with June he became more and more dissatisfied with Gilead and wanted a life with June and their daughter. However I think he doesn't feel he deserves that kind of happiness. That however he came to have taken part in the establishment of Gilead, he DID have a part in it and so he feels compelled to stay and destroy it from the inside even when his family is safely in Canada
As it stands now, Nick Blaine represents the men that stand by and do nothing The "I was just taking orders" spineless type of men. Sure he arranges to help June escape but what about the other women and the world he HELPED create for them? The only reason I don't hate him is that his love for June appears to be genuine.
he is trying to help. slowly. it will take time. he cant just get her out so fast. its suicide. they need plans. hes doing more than most, a lot that would risk his life and junes too.
As much as I hate to say it, I agree with you. I love Nick, I love his story with June, but with the information we have now, he comes up as a very passive person, the kind of person that made Gielead possible. I get that he had a though life and that commander was the only one who truly gave him a chance, but still I don't understand how could he possibly stand those messed up stuff that the people he were working for were saying... I mean, the whole flashback scene about impregnating random women in front of the wife, to which his response was "it's better not to form attachments". Disturbing at its best. I hope they'll reveal more on his background and his motives, because right now he doesn't come under the best light
Spoiler: I genuinely don't like him as a person as it stands given he literally fought for gilead. But I do appreciate the his character and find him well acted and well written. I'm excited to see how he battles with his morals in season 4. Morally grey characters are always some of my fav.
When all those soldiers saluted him I thought he was going to turn out to be the bad guy who was just playing June or whatever. But I'm so glad he's still a nice boi
I don't think Nick is an evil person 🤔. I believe he had no other choice. On season 1 it shows he could not find a job , he was struggling financially and he was helping his family. So I have this believe that he end up doing all this without him realizing how bad 👎all this was gonna turn. Without realizing how bad they were gonna treat women n children 😪.. And you can see he has a big Regret that's why he said "You get with the government is not very easy to get out" ☹ so let's hope for the best on season 4
@@gigik640 He shouldn't be sending her back to Gilead in the book he want's her out of Gilead and in the movie it's almost like he doesn't want to let her go and will evan kill getting her back
@@nigelowlsmith1882 He wants her out of Gilead. That's why he was counting on her to escape with their child. I haven't seen S3 or S4 yet but that's what it seemed like. He can't save her bc he may face his own consequences
I love that June told Emily to call the baby Nicole , but after she realized the Serena was planning on bringing her daughter back to Gilead just to have her. So she put in the tape that Luke got that the baby girl's name was actually Holly named after her mother. Take THAT Serena!
She will never be Nicole for me. Always Holly ♥️ and I'm sad that June didn't call her Holly in season 4.. especially in episode 7 😔 but maybe there is meaning behind the name Nicole like..Nick? 😊 anyway is Holly for me 🥰♥️
Tanya Flanagan , oh, no! But I think your idea is a good one, story wise. I just don’t want Nick to die! As much as I really like Luke, I just love Nick!
I just realized a random thing, June’s daughter, Nichole’s name is like a mix of Nick Blame’s (her lover) first name and Luke Bankole’s (her husband) last name. I don’t know it’s on purpose but interesting coincidence.
Don't you guys think it's weird that Fred would let Nick stand next to June while filming the video. I think it's because Nick is someone powerful and Fred didn't want any trouble.
I think Fred is a psycho that likes to toy with people's emotions. He knows how June and Nick feel about each other and the fact is that video was supposed to help him and Serena get Nick and June's daughter back into their care. It was pretty sadistic of Fred to do that to them knowing how they feel about the whole thing
@@rheaelise4540 100% agree! Always thought he was just toying with them and rubbing it in their faces. At the end when he calls him son, it seems as if he's belittling him.
Gosh that last scene changed my mind about Nick in this show. So chilling seeing all the soldiers suddenly snap a salute when he walks in... Dude was most definitely an integral part of the overthrow of the American government and the establishment of Gilead. Unpopular opinion, but I'm not sure he's the right guy for June
Have you seen season 5? He is climbing the ladder to eventually bring it down and help America. Unfortunately his fear for her safety and the intense love for her gets him found out. They are star crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet, but I hope they get a more happy ending.
Nick has more power then Fred...he was Fred’s driver because he spied on Fred for the man Head of Gilead ..remember when he asked to be transferred, and the next thing he had a wife..need to rewatch the first two episodes...
My favourite scene in this season has to be at 3.08 when June walks out to serve the commanders and her breath hitches at the sight of Nick. Nick looks at her then Lawrence spots it then pretends not to notice and Nick is still staring. Makes me 🤭🤭☺️☺️
Am I missing something here?! Did Season 1 & 2 really happen?! In the those two seasons I could have sworn that as much as possible Nick & June are in a relationship which gets stronger as Season 2 progresses starting imo when June is staying in the Boston Globe offices waiting for Mayday to help her escape and they spend time together as a couple. In fact the relationship is so strong that Nick tells her he loves her not once but twice not only that but he loves her so much that he tells her he wants to run away with her and their daughter so that the three of them can be together. Then in the aftermath of Eden's death and to help Nick heal June lets him bond with their daughter and finally tells him that she loves him. Yet this first episode it was the complete opposite. When June is leaving and who knows when or even if they'll see each other again all he says to her is "take care" and she replies "you too!" I appreciate that Commander Waterford is there but it was so cold between them especially when the only time they were alone together before Serena burned down the house, Nick was so angry with her for not escaping that he couldn't/wouldn't hold her nor tell her he loved her and the same for June with him and tbh if the rest of Season 3 is like that I'm gonna struggle to watch it! Btw @virginiaporter of course there's nothing going on between Nick and Serena what on earth gave you that idea?! Not only is it in the book but the producers, writers, Elisabeth Moss and Max Minghella all confirm that Nick and June are strongly connected with each other and love each other very much which is why I was so angry with what happened in that first episode of Season 3!
I used to have Hulu, so I was able to watch the show so I kinda know what’s going on but can someone explain the last scene in the video with Nick walking down and the soldiers reacting obedient towards him?
I really can't get behind nick fully. Like I'm happy june has some love in her life sometimes but the man did actively play a part in the creation of gilead and it does seem odd that he all of a sudden has a change of heart only when he starts to like one of them
I wouldn’t necessarily say he played an ‘active’ part in Gilead. Nick was just your ordinary unemployed young dude that the system couldn’t provide with a job or some purpose in life. Then Gilead came out of nowhere and offered him a job, security, and a respectable position/role in society and all of that for free! I’d say the majority of folks in Nick’s shoes would have taken up that offer, especially when faced with potentially staying unemployed, or even worse, homeless. People like Nick are always the ones extremist regimes/movements seek and recruit first because there’s nothing to lose for them. They’ve already hit rock bottom and are desperate. I think Nick realized later on how devastating and destructive Gilead is, but I’m sure his relationship with it is complicated, because it’s given him so much and he never would have met June if it wasn’t for the circumstances that lead them together
Ha fatto carriera diventando militare e poi comandante Mi sarebbe piaciuto che la sua storia ci fosse stata raccontata meglio e anche come ha conosciuto e sposato la povera rose
Am I the only that that sees that Nick just wants his cake and pie and to eat it too. I do believe he loves June but at the same time he loves the power he gets from Gilead and he has betrayed June several times.
yes despicable moron. i like for him to get served too one day. he is pompous. he still believes he is good. not gillead good but universal good. he is still in denial about the things he helped do.
I have mixed feelings with Nick. Since no sex is Gilead is ever truly consensual, his relationship with June gives me a slight creep vibe. I get that they are each other's solace in this hellscape but his reality is nothing compared to hers.
@@veronica-tf8ub I interest to know why do you think no sexy is Gilead is trutly consensual? Especially Nick & June, since June & Nick come back to each other all the time.
I don't understand where people get this idea of no consensual sex being possible in Gilead from. One thing is the institutional and "illegal" rape all the handmaids are subjected to, and the forced marriages, and another very different thing is the extremely dangerous sexual/emotional relationship these two share. There's a reason why Gilead penalizes this kind of bond with death, and very often turns a blind eye to the Commanders "misdemeanors" at Jezebel's and such. Gilead hates freedom exercized by anyone that's not at the top of the power structure, and murders any person that dares to rebel against this notion. Nick and June have a free love and passion relationship, the only one of this kind that she could have while being consistently enslaved and abused by the system. They put their lives at risk every moment they spent together, so it doesn't really make sense to say it's not consensual or free.
I think Nick has been planted from the beggining, even from when he went into the work placement shop and thats why the goverment could not use him to help with Nichole.
7:33 I hated this part ...how dare she...ungtateful, selfish. He had no obligation to rescue Ana or do anything more. He planned her escape 2 times and the second time she came back because she wanted to I woukd go with Beth in that moment if I was him ahaha
June be having 2 amazing guys risking their lives for her WHILE being in Gilead as a handmade and I can't get a boyfriend as a free women in modern world👀
@@virginiaporter9244 Have you not watched the show properly, or read or seen interviews with Max Minghella. Nick Blaine loves two people more than anyone else in the world. One is June Osborne and the other is his baby daughter, Holly Blaine. And if you did watch the show properly, which you obviously don't considering you're obsession with Nick and Serena fancying each other, you will notice that all Nick cares about is keeping these two people alive. But in case you hadn't noticed in the show as you don't seem to be watching it properly, how about either listening to or reading various interviews with Max Minghella who confirms exactly the same thing and as he is the actor who is playing this character called Nick Blaine I think we can safely say he is the best person to give an insight into who Nick loves and who he doesn't love and in fact going back to the launch of the first series his love for June is even used as a promo!!!
it does if in the end he was planted to infiltrate Gilead from the get go. The Swiss may have found out and they know that talking with him blows his cover and starts a host of other problems.
I'm afraid I've decided to stop watching the series altogether. I'm so focused on the Nick/June storyline plus how gorgeous Max Minghella is that I'm no longer interested in the rest of the plot!!

I can see a few comments feeling conflicted about Nick but I feel the total opposite. Nobody in Gilead can stay pure and not have blood on their hands. Even June as we see in Season 3. That's what makes this show so good. The complex characters. Nobody is all good. Apart from maybe Janine but even she gets Stockholm syndrome and has genuine affection for Aunt Lydia.
I think the portrayal of the human condition is far more real in this than any other show. Albeit heightened.
Why are some complicit while others resist? Why are some able to bend while others break. Everyone has the capacity to be cruel and kind.

This is such an insightful take! I completely agree!
THIS!!

I truly believe Nick and June are endgame🥰
Did anyone else think it was interesting that Serena named the baby Nicole and the fathers name is Nick?

I wouldn’t necessarily say he played an ‘active’ part in Gilead. Nick was just your ordinary unemployed young dude that the system couldn’t provide with a job or some purpose in life. Then Gilead came out of nowhere and offered him a job, security, and a respectable position/role in society and all of that for free! I’d say the majority of folks in Nick’s shoes would have taken up that offer, especially when faced with potentially staying unemployed, or even worse, homeless. People like Nick are always the ones extremist regimes/movements seek and recruit first because there’s nothing to lose for them. They’ve already hit rock bottom and are desperate. I think Nick realized later on how devastating and destructive Gilead is, but I’m sure his relationship with it is complicated, because it’s given him so much and he never would have met June if it wasn’t for the circumstances that lead them together
@@laracroftvideos true
I like your explanation
I ship for them soooo much💖
Anyone know the song at 08:53 ???? Can't find it
Nick and June are meant to be
I just finished all three seasons and don’t think I can handle season 4 because I already my Nick will be killed off 😢
I'm crying already, I love me some Nick.
Frankie Young how do you know he’s gonna be killed off!!
E Romo just a gut feeling and also because as an executive producer Elisabeth Moss doesn’t want this to be a love story
if he dies there would be no point. I'd stop watching the series. When will they broadcast the fourth season?
I swear if he's KIA in Chicago in Season 4 I'm gonna be so depresso.
I wanna cry just thinking of it
June not leaving with their baby still hurts me... but I understand - Hanna ❤️
Nick ❤️❤️❤️❤️ great acting 👌👌
Has anyone figured oit Nick's level of authority ? How does he go from driver to commander? I would love to know more about his story
He is a member of The Eye, a secret police organization
Ha fatto carriera diventando militare e poi comandante
Mi sarebbe piaciuto che la sua storia ci fosse stata raccontata meglio e anche come ha conosciuto e sposato la povera rose
He’s my husband. I love him.
maja assassin hey he’s not your husband he’s mine! 😜😊
Elle Fanning would disagree with you both tehe
Max is our husband
Nick my love❤
Am I the only that that sees that Nick just wants his cake and pie and to eat it too. I do believe he loves June but at the same time he loves the power he gets from Gilead and he has betrayed June several times.
God Lawrence is a unbelievable bastard in that scene.
yes despicable moron. i like for him to get served too one day. he is pompous. he still believes he is good. not gillead good but universal good. he is still in denial about the things he helped do.
I love u Nick.. 😍😍
I have mixed feelings with Nick. Since no sex is Gilead is ever truly consensual, his relationship with June gives me a slight creep vibe. I get that they are each other's solace in this hellscape but his reality is nothing compared to hers.
Finally someone saying what I’m thinking
yes exactly what i was thinking. at first i thought that maybe June was just using him to get influence and knowledge but ig she really loves him.
@@veronica-tf8ub I interest to know why do you think no sexy is Gilead is trutly consensual? Especially Nick & June, since June & Nick come back to each other all the time.
Although the first time they slept together was arranged, Nick's never really forced himself on her. She went to him on her own volition.
I don't understand where people get this idea of no consensual sex being possible in Gilead from. One thing is the institutional and "illegal" rape all the handmaids are subjected to, and the forced marriages, and another very different thing is the extremely dangerous sexual/emotional relationship these two share. There's a reason why Gilead penalizes this kind of bond with death, and very often turns a blind eye to the Commanders "misdemeanors" at Jezebel's and such. Gilead hates freedom exercized by anyone that's not at the top of the power structure, and murders any person that dares to rebel against this notion. Nick and June have a free love and passion relationship, the only one of this kind that she could have while being consistently enslaved and abused by the system. They put their lives at risk every moment they spent together, so it doesn't really make sense to say it's not consensual or free.
Go get me a that book, but I’m not allowed to read the book titles, so fucked up!
I need him in my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The train scenes has to be the most random shortest scene in the show
Luv them together
Nick y June ❤️❤️
I think Nick has been planted from the beggining, even from when he went into the work placement shop and thats why the goverment could not use him to help with Nichole.
I wonder what his reasons could be.. he must have killed so many people for this order. He deserves to be a commander like no other
so this is why he could help her ran out the first time. bcs he is "someone" powerful
The signs were there. What driver has that much pull?
Interesting that they would place the handmaid between the husband and wife.
He is so sexy gorgeous..but June is likely to go back to her husband Luke in Season 4.
Hell yes.
Nickkkkk! 😃
what episode is 7:30 from?
What episode is 8:53?
Please end June with Nick.
No está en español?
Eles tem que ficar juntos!!!!! 😢❤
Nick❤️June 😍
Foi muito bem feito está série muito detalhada
Eles tem que ficar juntos... Nick sofreu muito por causa dela e ela tbm...sofre por ele séria uma injustiça se não terminar juntos.
He’s so hot, I can’t 😍!
U can see he loves June he would die for her
nick nick nick oh nick
June annoys me most of the time. Show needs more episodes each season, less slow scenes.
i think it's time for me to read this book. for many reasons, but also cos i just gotta know if he is a double agent~!
Wondered why he held wTerford at gunpoint, he must be higher rank than driver or he'd be dead
He’s an Eye.
Wasn’t enough Nick in Season 3. That’s what was lacking.
I love June and Nick's relationship. They would do anything for each other it reminds me of Dom and Letty
O legendas 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
I noticed that Nick and June are the only to that kiss
7:33 I hated this part ...how dare she...ungtateful, selfish. He had no obligation to rescue Ana or do anything more. He planned her escape 2 times and the second time she came back because she wanted to
I woukd go with Beth in that moment if I was him ahaha
June be having 2 amazing guys risking their lives for her WHILE being in Gilead as a handmade and I can't get a boyfriend as a free women in modern world👀
Awful situation all round, but damn if they didnt bring back the touch of a hand as sexy and romantic as hell...
What was that at the begining?? Is he in love with serena😖
No, he was just trying to keep her calm.
I think he has feels for her.but I hope not.
@@virginiaporter9244 Have you not watched the show properly, or read or seen interviews with Max Minghella. Nick Blaine loves two people more than anyone else in the world. One is June Osborne and the other is his baby daughter, Holly Blaine. And if you did watch the show properly, which you obviously don't considering you're obsession with Nick and Serena fancying each other, you will notice that all Nick cares about is keeping these two people alive. But in case you hadn't noticed in the show as you don't seem to be watching it properly, how about either listening to or reading various interviews with Max Minghella who confirms exactly the same thing and as he is the actor who is playing this character called Nick Blaine I think we can safely say he is the best person to give an insight into who Nick loves and who he doesn't love and in fact going back to the launch of the first series his love for June is even used as a promo!!!
It makes no sense at all that the Swiss refuse talking to him! It doesn’t even serve the story at all.
it does if in the end he was planted to infiltrate Gilead from the get go. The Swiss may have found out and they know that talking with him blows his cover and starts a host of other problems.
@@NRQ-zv5bp This is a good theory, but I fear you're giving too much credit to these writers. I hope I'm wrong, I just don't trust them that much.
i cannot really remember this part- where do i go to rewatch what happens with that, like what episodes?
I'm afraid I've decided to stop watching the series altogether. I'm so focused on the Nick/June storyline plus how gorgeous Max Minghella is that I'm no longer interested in the rest of the plot!!
he is very beautiful. it would be nice to have more of his beauty to enjoy & adore amongst all the hella awful shit hahaha
@@belllabean Agree 💯
Que serie para mas sufrimiento....
Por favor dublado completo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Romantic ohhhhh
His eyes can say so much whilst his mouth has to be shut
Frankly my eyes would burn a whole in his very thin brain... they would probably would all fall, poisoned that day. 😂 then they must really really be scared of women!
Tem que traduzi
The Gilead Army in black.
En español pkr FAVOR!!!!
What about Fred, he is in Love with her too , no?
Not love. Love doesn’t hurt, damage and rape you.
Obsession. Look at the scene when they touched hand you can see Fred's eyes fixated on their hands and calls him son almost spitefully.
12:23 no cause like...wtf how is he so hot
