Скачать или смотреть Why Nick was never a good guy | Commander Blaine vs Commander Lawrence - A Tale of Two Men

In this video, we explore the complex morality of two central characters from The Handmaid’s Tale: Commander Joseph Lawrence and Nick Blaine. While both men have operated within the brutal system of Gilead, their choices—and what drives them—reveal two very different kinds of men.

We unpack why Nick was never truly the good guy, despite the show’s framing of him as June’s love interest. Nick consistently chose self-preservation and power, staying loyal to Gilead long after he had opportunities to walk away. In contrast, Commander Lawrence—a man deeply complicit in building Gilead—ultimately chooses to resist it. He owns his mistakes, expresses deep regret, and makes a final, self-sacrificial decision to bring down the very system he helped create.

This is a character study about guilt, responsibility, and redemption—and what separates someone who wants to do good from someone who actually does.
