how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Read from 30 comments — 7 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 7 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“45 Second later: I was mistaken.”

“The van scene was really my least favorite scene in a very impressive, thrilling series of episodes. At least they did restrain the hands, but Lydia is fine to ride in the back with six of the most rebellious Handmaids who have freed 86 kids? Looked like there was room in the front for her. And the driver didn't lock the door while going off to "use the restroom"? That escape attempt should have showed off their skills as awesome rebels, instead, they only managed to escape because Gilead got stupid again.”
