Warning: Spoilers for “The Handmaid’s Tale” below! The second season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” premiered this week, and it was a stressful but fruitful (see what we did there?) Laura Bassett: I think “The Handmaid’s Tale” is eminently watchable for the same reason a movie like “Get Out” had so much success ― because it takes a present-day situation to its logical extreme.
