Description

From the team behind Eyes on Gilead: The Handmaid’s Tale Companion, the award-winning podcast known for deep-dive analysis and sharp observations, comes a new weekly TV and film podcast: Eyes on Screen. Hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly, this is a new independent show, and the next chapter for the team known for watching closely, a bit obsessively, and always with plenty to say. As The Handmaid’s Tale expands into The Testaments, we’ll be following along week by week with episode recaps, analysis and yes, dubious predictions. Alongside that, Eyes on Screen covers new TV shows, movie releases and what to watch next, as well as older favourites worth revisiting. Each week we talk through storytelling, performance, cinematography, score and the details that make a show or film work, mixing analysis with conversation, a few theories, and the kind of thoughts that come from watching something with other people who notice everything. We’ll also be speaking with cast and creators, sharing interviews and insider insight to deepen the connection to the TV shows and movies we love, and explore how they’re made behind the scenes. Because sometimes the best part of watching something is having someone to talk about it with. If you’re looking for thoughtful TV and film discussion, episode breakdowns and reviews, or a TV and film podcast that helps you decide what to watch next, this is for you. If you’re into The Testaments, TV recap podcasts, film analysis, movie reviews, or just hearing people unpack what they’ve watched in a way that feels like you're catching up with friends, you’ll feel right at home. For returning Eyes on Gilead listeners, welcome back. For new listeners, you can jump in anywhere. New episodes weekly. Follow along on Instagram @eyesonscreenpod for updates and more. Watching closely, talking it through, and enjoying the conversation along the way: This is Eyes On Screen. Eyes on Screen is a Second Look Media production. Theme music: Ashley Jane and Timon Wientzek Photography: Ashley Mar / Design: Fiona Williams Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2026/04/22

We have just watched Episode 5 ('Ball') of The Testaments, the spinoff to The Handmaid’s Tale, and this time, we’re RSVP-ing to 'the social event of the season'…for a creepy Gilead Commander in search of a child bride. We’re Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (of Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion fame). We have questions, we have theories, and we figure you probably do too, so check your optimism bias at the door and join us as we dive deep into the details (just BYO your mason jar of Period Kombucha, okay?).

The Testaments Season 1 Episode 4 Recap

2026/04/15

We have just watched Episode 4 ('Green Tea') of The Testaments, the Handmaid’s Tale spinoff, and this time, we’ve got a ringside seat to a high stakes tea party for Agnes and her fellow Greens. Absolutely everyone is on edge this episode and we are here to unpack every thrilling moment. We’re Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (of Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion fame). The Testaments Episode 4 synopsis: 'The Green girls gather for a tea party, Daisy struggles to keep on task, and Agnes begins to understand what being a woman in Gilead means.' You know us, we go deep with the details, so buckle up. We unpack the feminist history of the tea party, the meaning of the massive Rembrandt in a High Commander’s office, and what the costumes are saying about their characters. We have questions, we have theories, and we figure you probably do too. Watch along with us, then join the conversation. Follow Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod Hosted on Acast.

Bruce Miller on The Testaments: Daisy, Agnes, June & Changes

2026/04/10

Who’s got questions about The Testaments? We do! We take them to the top as The Testaments Showrunner Bruce Miller joins Fiona to discuss the major characters and plot twists of The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff so far. (Contains spoilers about the first three episodes of The Testaments, obviously). Bruce, a friend of the show, and frequent guest on our previous podcast, #eyesongilead, answers these questions and more: Is Daisy who we think she is? (and if so, how?); What major departures can we expect from the Margaret Atwood novel? And speaking of books, did June Osborne ever 'write' hers? This is a must-listen for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments alike. Eyes on Screen is hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (of Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion podcast fame). Watch along with us every week, then join the conversation by following Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod Edited and mixed by Jeremy Wilmot. Theme music composed by Ashley Jade and Tinome Wientzek. #thetestamentspodcast #testamentsrecaps Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Testaments Season 1 Episode 3 Recap

2026/04/08

Recapping Episode 3 ('Daisy') of The Testaments, the Handmaid’s Tale spinoff, and this time, we’re spending more time beyond Gilead. We’re Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly (from Eyes on Gilead: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion). In Episode 3, an incident on a school trip triggers Daisy’s memories of Toronto, revealing more about her past, and a world shaped by violence. We unpack what this means for Daisy: how she could connect to the character from The Testaments novel, and whether she’s who we think she is. Plus, we dive into the meaning behind key artwork and symbols, and the bigger questions this episode raises. It also has Sana thinking of home. Very mild spoiler warning: we do reference events from The Testaments novel. We don’t think it will ruin anything for you but consider yourself warned. We have questions, we have theories, and we figure you probably do too. Watch along with us, then join the conversation. Follow Eyes on Screen on Instagram: @eyesonscreenpod Hosted on Acast.

Join us as we break down Episode 2 and everything it sets in motion: Agnes (Chase Infiniti) begins the rituals that mark her coming of age, she grapples with the confusing stirrings of adolescence. Meanwhile, Daisy (Lucy Halliday) faces the harsh realities of Gilead’s system of discipline. We have questions, we have opinions, and we will unpack the characters and themes and what this episode reveals about power, control, and identity in The Testaments.

The Testaments Primer: What to Know Before You Watch

2026/04/07

The Testaments is almost here — so, obviously, we’re going back to Gilead. We’re your Eyes on Screen hosts, Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Natalie Hambly and Haidee Ireland. You might know us from our award-winning podcast Eyes on Screen: A Handmaid’s Tale Companion. That wrapped when The Handmaid’s Tale ended last year… but like June Osborne, we just can’t quit Gilead. So we're going back in (did we ever leave?). In this new spinoff podcast, we’ll start by recapping The Testaments episode by episode, breaking down the story, characters, and all the moments that matter. Today, we’re starting with a preview and predictions: What stories from The Handmaid’s Tale are still unresolved?Who returns in The Testaments — and who doesn’t?Will we see June again?What will Chase Infiniti bring to Agnes?And what kind of Aunt Lydia are we about to meet? We’ve got questions. And if you know us, we’ve got opinions. Follow along as we recap every episode of The Testaments. And talk about other TV series and movies that have captured our attention (such as, what has Sana rewatched five times? And why is it Heated Rivalry?). Come and sit with us. We can't wait to watch along with you. Tell us what you're most looking forward to via our new show Instagram account @eyesonscreenpod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Introducing Eyes on Screen

2026/04/03

Welcome to Eyes on Screen, a new podcast from the team behind Eyes on Gilead, the award winning The Handmaid’s Tale companion podcast, known for its deep dives, sharp observations and (occasionally) getting a bit carried away. Hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly, this is a new independent show, and the next chapter from the same team you’ve been listening to all along. We’ve had plenty of messages from Eyes on Gilead listeners asking if we’d get the band back together, and that has only grown as The Testaments premiere date has approached. We heard you.The answer is yes. How could we not? Just… not quite in the way you might expect. This is the next chapter of what we’ve been doing for a while now: watching TV closely, paying attention to the details, and talking through the moments that stick. It’s familiar, in that same spirit of deep-dive conversation… but it’s also its own thing. A bit broader, a bit freer, and very much its own space as we follow The Testaments week by week, and expand that approach to other TV series and movies that have caught our attention. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
