Everyone is talking about…the return of The Handmaid’s Tale
We’ve only just gotten over the corker that was season 1, and while we thought we couldn’t wait for season 2 to kick off, we’re not sure we’re as ready as we think we are.
The second season of the Margaret Atwood adaptation aired across the water this week, and by the sounds of some spoilers we’ve inadvertently landed upon, we’re in for some serious edge-of-your-seat stuff tonight on RTÉ.
