With nearly 500 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR… however it is you roll.

After the year we’ve had, I’m not sure I’m ready for the “doom and gloom” of The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s a really great show, just not always an easy one to watch.
I read the book years ago, but I could only make it through the show’s first season. I always had a stomachache after watching it and realized it was hitting too close to home.
It’s about time for the Handmaid’s Tale to return. It’s been so long since I saw the last episode that I kind of forget where the story line is.
How long has it been since Handmaid’s Tale had episodes? 2019?
The Handmaid’s Tale is looking like it will be less horrifying and more rebellion and I cannot wait.
Looking forward to Handmaids Tale…I’ll take watching that fictional horrific system over the real world horror that just ended on January 20.
