Look, Elizabeth Moss is incredible. Hands down. But Yvonne Strahovski has taken on a role where you absolutely HATE the character, while in the back of your mind, holding space to eventually like her. She has nailed the role of Serena in Handmaid's Tale. For me, it was episode 7, the birth scene. Unbelievable how raw & real that entire scene felt. It's just stunning to see her character experience so much of what she inflicted on others. It's crazy to see her in real life being so comedic, charming & loveable :)
@Derrick Ensey - Great Comment! Is there a performance of a more complex human experience of what goes on between those two women, with their unfathomable personal histories, during that shared 'birth' experience? And how many., if any, could have fulfilled Serena Joy's "come-to-be-a-human-moment" other than Yvonne Strahovski? Believe me, the perfection of Elizabeth Moss' June was met completely - totally 100% by the just as brilliant (if not more) Yvonne's Serena! THT, Season 5 - Episode 7 is as good as TV can get!
Totally agree with you. Serena's done a lot of wrongs but you can definitely like her in some moments and even root for her at times. I guess that's just part of being human... Nobody's completely bad or completely good, we're both. She's an excellent actress and I love the show so, so much! Can't wait to see what's gonna happen. Wondering if June is ever going to be reunited with Hannah (I'm thinking maybe it's a no?)
Yes! Completely agree!
she's dead
When she walked out of the fertility center last week with Noah I was practically yelling RUN RUN RUN!!!
I actually had to pause it for a moment cause I was so terrified for her.
Yvonne has been in the USA for at least 15 years, and the questions are still about the fact that she is from Australia and her parents are Polish, and about spiders and snakes...I feel like it is the same in every talkshow, it is so stereotyped, I'm sure that she has many interesting things to say about who she is and what she does....
It's a major part of her
They agree to the topics ahead of time so I think she’s cool with it
@@tnickknight thank you
@@reasonablewalk4982 thank you for your great support
Well, taipans and funnel web spiders really do exist, and they're damned scary.
Her birth scene was mind blowing 🤯 She deserves all the awards for her character portrayal this season! 🏆
She's a method actress 🤣
Thank you 😘
@@edwardfletcher7790 thank you 😘
@Mai Ho - I totally agree! This birth scene - June in support of Serena - Serena recognizing June's humanity was awe-inspiring. It may be the best ever depicted on TV. ...but for me, Helena birthing her twin boys in the grungy basement of the Dyad Institute, with Sestra Sarah and Art as mid-wives. not to mention, the spirit of Mrs. S assisting... that one just CAN't BE TOPPED! (calling out Orphan Black and the amazing Tatiana Maslany!)

Yvonne is immaculate. That’s all I gotta say…. She’s underrated, she deserves all the Oscar’s, Emmy’s, golden globes, and all the accolades. ❤️
She's very gorgeous
Loved her in Chuck, Dexter, and now The Handmaid. Great actress that brings her characters to life.
She was really good in "The Fappening" too
She kills it in this role. I loved her in Dexter and I love her in this. Don't get me wrong, Serena is terrible haha but Yvonne gives a stellar portrayal.
And she’s ridiculous hot.
Have you seen her in Stateless? I think it's her best performance.
@@florencia_crown I haven’t, but I will
I was just going to comment here, she freaking killed it in the show especially this season. For real.. And I loved her in Dexter as well! Can't believe she is 40 already also
@@ecemonal879 I was disappointed that she wasn't in the reboot or that her also being a serial killer had never been attributed to Harrison at all. His biological father is a serial killer but Hannah was too.
Her performance in Season 5 absolutely blows my mind! The complexity of the different stages of her emotions is just outstanding. Hope she gets nominated with awards
Is this the last season
@@melissaschaffer4549 There's one last season coming
Yvonne is the absolute best. Beautiful as hell, and such a great actress. She does action and drama equally well.
Thank you 💚
@@charlizetheron1884 no
Yeah she has such a beautiful face😍
she looks mediocre
It’s incredible how far she’s gone to since her chuck days, im soooo happy for her
i'm head over heels for her since her Chuck days. loved her on Dexter--sad that she wasn't invited back for the final mini-series.
Also was in the Mass Effect games.
Her accent jumps all over the place, and I'm kinda obsessed with it now.
It really is, maybe every 4th word Aussie accent, and all the rest Yank
She's Polish/Australian.
@@Disney65Fan Her folks were Polish, she was born in Australia, she used to be 100% Aussie, there is not or ever has been a single Polish aspect to her accent
@@Disney65Fan Obviously. She said as much. 😆 j/k
Yeah, she's lived in America for more than a decade, us Aussies are natural accent mimics...
We loved her so much in the old tv series Chuck.
Assistia muito aqui no Brasil. 🇧🇷
Loved her since Chuck. ❤️
Same, my favorite show of all time
Me too
@@LilTy702 Same , still hot as well
Eu gosto muito também de Chuck. 🇧🇷
Same here
Absolutely fantastic finale! Those last 30 seconds were exactly what I’ve been wanting since the end of season 2. And now (especially with Lydia’s past due awakening) the Hannah rescue is *really* on!!! Season 6 feels like it’s years away, but blessed be the fruit when it finally does show up.
Holy moly Ms Strahovski! Insanely mind-blowing performance this season. Mama Serena in the barn was like a brand new character. Go get that Emmy!
Thank you for your great support 😘
She deserves an Emmy for her role this season.
Super underrated actress, I hope she will have more apportunities in the future for great career. She acted incredibly in season 5
Wow, she's not only talented and amazing but she's drop dead GORGEOUS! 🥰😍❤ She deserves all of the awards for Handmaid's Tale. I don't believe there's 1 more season :( this is my favorite show!
Manifesting that she’s an Emmy WINNER this time next year.
It is so strange to see her so glammed up and speaking with an Australian accent. It really shows how far she actually is going with her interpretation of Serena.
It's the same American accent she uses for everything.
This is a mixed Australian American accent. Common for someone who's lived in the US for over a decade practicing the accent.
@@captainjefferies9047 This is a mixed Australian American accent. Not her American accent.
@@usehername1 Try to pay attention if you want to participate.
The character Miranda Lawson from the Mass Effect videogame was designed with the looks of Yvonne and she even voices "Miri". ❤
I swear she has one of the most radiating and beautiful smiles ... Her and Anna torv are two Australian actresses I admire ...
I binged watched Chuck twice. That entire cast had chemistry and she crushed her role.
It’s such a feel happy show…
Every time I watch an episode I'm in awe at how amazing the 2 leads are. The sandbox episode of the birth was a shining example of incredible acting carrying a tv show.
She is such an amazing actress.
Yvonne is an extremely warm person, she's brilliant, she must be a great mom
Season 5 of THE HANDMAID'S TALE is one of the best seasons to date and it is because of the relationship renewed between Yvonne's and Elizabeth's characters. And now I'm looking forward to Season 6 but their acting in this season was excellent.
she's so sophisticated and eloquent
I did not choose to watch this show. My girl did, it was background noise until I gave in. This woman's acting has been the most impressive part of the whole show, absolutely amazing
The bone she picked with Americans about animals was perfect!
Bears may be more dangerous than venomous spiders, but a bear won't attack you while you're going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
@@worf7271 more people die of snake bites and spider bites in the us , than in Australia.... I'm always more afraid of walking in arizona desert than in asutralia any day...I'm from Phoenix, and encounter about 10 rattle snakes per year... and thats just the ones I'm able to see.
@@jlbueno0611 thank you
@@worf7271 thank you
@@jlbueno0611 While I agree bears are scary, Australia hands down beats America in regards to how deadly its snakes and spiders are. That's a fact. If you research the deadliest spiders and snakes on the planet, Australia wins in an absolute landslide. We have what's regarded in the world as the deadliest spider and the deadliest snake. And our spiders and snakes fill out the lists.
Australia would have fewer deaths for two reasons. Firstly, our population is tiny in comparison to America. And secondly, because Australia takes snake and spider bites incredibly seriously.
I first knew her as Miranda Lawson, and now Serena Joy. Great actress and I’m a huge fan
!!!
Should see her as Sarah Walker! Chuck is a really good tv show
@@evandubey4995 I’ll check it out! I’m kind of surprised because she’s a phenomenal actress but I don’t see her in much. The only thing I’ve seen her in aside from Mass Effect and Handmaid’s Tale is a horror movie where she’s a mother stuck with her family in a cabin.
@@joeywild2011 she’s in a movie called tomorrow war with Chris Pratt too. It’s on Amazon prime.
Yvonne has killed it this season I hope she’s nominated for an Emmy and wins.
Love her!!! Hope we keep seeing her on the big screen
This show is so well done and so well acted that I kinda enjoyed the slap more than I thought. Then I, oh, world now
Handmaids Tale is riveting, and playing out in real time in the US. Yvonne's will win the Emmy.
She is a great actress. She did a series on immigration a while back, I forgot what it is called but it maybe on Netflix. It was really good. It covered a ton of important issues.
Love her! Such a bizarre opening few questions for her.
The acting she did on" the Handmaid,s tale" was A+,!! She plays the bad guy SO well!
Yvonne happens to be a part of a lot of media I like coincidentally and I like her acting in all of it. Miranda in Mass Effect 2 will always to me though because that's one of my favorite games. Chuck is also a gem.
Just rewatched Chuck for the 2nd time (maybe 3rd)? and Yvonne Strahoski was an amazing actress in that show. She can portray every facial expressions you can think of and she is fun to watch. With all the great reviews of The Handmaid's Tale, I'll watch it soon as well.
You need to rewatch Chuck to complete watching The Handmaids Tale. Believe me 😂
Loved her in Dexter and Chuck. Love to hate her in Handmaid. That's a good actress.
Yvonne could have just banked on being another pretty face and gone the beautifu, alluring femme fatale route, but she didn't. She has done some exceptional acting in a variety of roles. She's very versatile. And IMO, she's a very underrated talent!
"alluring femme fatale route"
That's exactly what she is here.
I can tell femme fatale role is the one she has been trying hard not to be boxed in. She said about it when it comes to her character choices.
Yvonne deserves an Emmy next year!!!!
Her performance on season 5 is mind blowing. I can’t believe I started the season hating on her and now I am rooting for her. This is all due to her incredible acting!! Give her all the rewards. Her and Elizabeth my Leo queens ❤
Nope! 😄can't root for her. And by her I mean Serena!
@@PearlsandRoses lol I meant that just shows how talented she is 😅
@@yaellii no, I got you! And you're 100% correct about this actress; she's so good at this role!
How incredible does she look. Her second son isn’t even one yet. He turns one in December. 🤩❤
You are amazing as Serena Joy! We love/hate the character! Thank you for all you have given to us!!
As nk
She is overdue for an Emmy.
I love Handmaid’s tale!
She's such an amazing actress! They definitely could have prepared better questions for her. She had to spend most of the interview on stupid prejudiced questions about Australia, and when the host finally gets to talk about her job, he asks "what's the difference between having a real baby and a baby on set"? Like, seriously?
This is one woman that gets better looking with each passing year. And a super talented actress without question.
She's incredibly smart and beautiful. I love to watch her interviews. I'm not sure why Handmaid's was not eligible for awards, but I hope Yvonne gets her chance at one sometime in the future.
Loved her in Chuck!
Love this lady! So good on and off screen. Champ
She played Miranda in Mass Effect
I remember when I finally got Hulu and started watching The Handmaid's Tale, in her first scene, I was like 'Omg... Miranda!?' Miranda freaking Lawson is on this show!' lol it took me less than a minute to realize it was her.
Yvonne bye💀she said “wouldn’t u rather have a snake bite you”😭I died when she said that😂
Australia hasn't had a spider bite death since 1979, and snake bite deaths are rare, about 2 deaths per year out of 3,000 bites because they have anti-venoms, there's no "anti-bear-mauling".
True, but bears don't crawl into your sleeping bag at night like a taipan.
@@Tessmage_Tessera unless you're camping near San Francisco
@@RubyDoobieScoo Seen a lot of bears near Frisco, have ya?
@@Tessmage_Tessera Sure they do. You are just eaten first.
she's just naturally funny
Love her! ❤
I'd let her put me on the wall anytime. She's an amazing actress and absolutely beautiful. Her smile is mesmerizing
I love the bit when Jimmy says to Yvonne, "Do you want to watch my kiddie fun time videos?"
She really is gorgeous. I shouldn't be surprised. Her RBF on Handmaids Tale has given her a bit of a Joffrey rep where you know shes not Serena Joy but gd she makes it so hard to see the pretty with that character. Excellent actor for that. I am shocked that her and Aunt Lydia are being really dynamic now. Did not expect that.
She is amazing, beautiful, and great actress. I hated her character and same time felt sorry for her . She did great !
She is one of the most stunningly beautiful actresses around....
She is so delightful.
Loved her since CHUCK. She's BEAUTIFUL in every way.
I loved her on Chuck.
Passou durante muito tempo aqui no Brasil. 🇧🇷
Incredible series, the Handmaid's Tale.....YAY, Elizabeth Moss
She plays Serena so well. Especially seeing how extremely different her real life personality is.
She has such a relaxed excitement (if that makes sense, like she’s comfortable giggling and chatting away?!) that is so contrary to her character in Handmaid, she seems cool…!
I’ve loved her since watching Chuck!
She is an AMAZING actress. I hate hate hate her character on the show (as we should) but man did she not make me feel sorry for her so many times this season!
That explains why this labour seen is SO real!
the train scene of june and serena .. my god this show is killing meeeeeeeee
The fun part about fear of Oz's native beasts is, snakes will avoid you if they can, and Australia has antivenom for the small deadly biters on land and sea and, so the bites just need rapid hospital treatment. We have about 2 snakebite deaths a year, 3 from jellyfish, and have decades with no spider deaths. (Horses are a major animal cause of death!)
Bears, wolves, mountain lions, rabid squirrels, etc. seem different somehow - more like our sharks, a hazard of going into their home area, with risk to limbs as well as life.
Truly outstanding actress. Those scenes alongside Elisabeth Moss is pure electricity. So raw, and real. And it's strange watching Yvonne on Kimmel and seeing a polite, funny lady, compared to the complex evil in Serena. She is more deserving of any acting award than many before her.
She's all kinds of nifty.
Also, We Need A Chuck Finale Movie! 😉
Nifty? That's probably the best way I've heard to describe her!
ERA SENSACIONAL CHUCK. 🇧🇷
Omg nifty! Never heard this word but i might use it from now on lol
@@vixxp2856 It's a word I've heard since childhood, but I really started including it in my vernacular after Willow used it in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer finale. 👍
@@SilentBob731 english is not my first language and hearing words i never heard is so interesting 😃
Im still mad they didn't go forward with a Kate Morgan spinoff.
She’s starting to develop a mixed accent which is understandable since she’s been staying in the US on and off for nearly a decade and all her roles require her to speak with an American accent. There are interviews where she’s more consistently Aussie, but she probably says some words the American way when doing these big talk shows so the predominantly American audience can get past her roots and listen to the content of what she’s saying
I totally get it. This is my life too
She will always be Sarah Walker from Chuck.
Agree on that, I don’t mind Hannah as well
ATUALMENTE AINDA ASSISTO CHUCK. 🇧🇷
She is an INCREDIBLE actor. Love her talent! Fwiw- She’s way better than Moss.
Yvonne Is Incredible!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!
The La Brea tar pits are amazing, they should go there !!
I ruined a good pair of shoes at La Brea, back in the 80's. The tar isn't just in the tar pit... it's oozing up from the ground all over the place. Wear cheap shoes, folks.
I love the dynamic of Serena being stuck with that family and getting even the smallest sense of what its like to be on the receiving end of being a Handmaid. If she totally escapes, I feel like she should use any money or riches she ever gets to to make it up to Offred/June. PS. As an aside, Elisabeth is now the master of "I hate you so much right now!" look.
I can't keep up with her accents but damn I like it and she is Scrumptious!
I'll always see her as sarah walker
I really enjoyed Chuck!
Who didn’t
Wonderful !
I'm surprised no one's mentioned her FANTASTIC performance in the Mass Effect video game series as Miranda Lawson
That's becuase videogame acting is crap.
@@captainjefferies9047 Have you heard her performance? It's far, FAR from crap.
@@TheGingiGamer Videogame acting is crap.
@@captainjefferies9047 How?
More chuck please
I wish this as well
Seria muito bom. 🇧🇷
@rsd 477 - Agreed. So many of us wanted more... but at this point... the story would have to be that time had passed them by. There simply couldn't be as many spy adventures when the entire cast are all a bunch of Roan Montgomerys! Still... Charah Forever
She will only ever be Sarah Walker to me. I still miss Chuck to this day. Just rewatched the entire series on Prime, and I still think it's the best show ever and for me its still her best role.
I love her Australian accent with English in the same breath....listen to it, you can here every other word has an accent
She played her part good!!
I’m watching Chuck these days. I love her.
The reason you should watch Chuck! 😊
I loved her in Mass Effect.
Sarah Walker 😍
🐐
I love her in Dexter.
💙💙💙 her on Dexter.
just saw the finally and holy crap!
Love her
I have polish heritage and there were polish jokes all through my grade school years, so 1995 😂
