The Handmaid’s Tale is soon returning for more episodes of misery and misogyny to the nth degree, and the reviews are coming in for the second season of Hulu’s morbid series.
If at the end of Season1 you expected things to turn around for the handmaids and society as a whole, you are way, way off. At best, things seem to be staying just as bleak as before, but perhaps with a bit less of the nuance that made Season 1 so horribly addictive, as Mashable’s own Jess Joho noted in her review of Season 2.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2 opens up the claustrophobic scope of Season 1, following the characters into new locations and through new difficulties. Reviewers only had access to the first six episodes, so they can’t paint a full picture of the success of the second season, but the first chunk of episodes seem a little disjointed, although are peppered with the excellent performances we’ve come to expect from the cast.

This was most recently evidenced by a television hit in which she admitted that former FBI director James Comey swung the election for Trump. She did this even as she’s putting Comey on blast per the White House playbook.
Conway’s latest head-scratching moment came on Monday morning during an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America. The chat came 24 hours after ABC aired Stephanopoulos’s much-hyped interview with Comey and Conway certainly had something to say about it. Read more…

On an April morning in 1967, Kathrine Switzer ate a late breakfast of bacon, eggs, pancakes, and toast. The Boston Marathon wasn’t due to begin until noon, so she had plenty of time to get to the starting line.
When the time came, she pinned the number 261 to her chest and started running through the Boston streets with her boyfriend, coach, and friend in tow. Then, in a surprising contrast to the crowd’s cheers, she was attacked by a race official who’d noticed her ponytail and lipstick.
At this time, the Boston Marathon was a men’s-only race, and Switzer wasn’t exactly welcome in the field. After Switzer’s boyfriend warded off the race official by tackling him, Kathrine (registered as K. V. Switzer) crossed the finish line. Her efforts helped make the sport of endurance running more welcoming to women in the decades that followed. Read more…
