Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season six episode five “Janine”. Of course New Bethlehem was a lie.

Warning: contains spoilers for The Handmaid’s Tale season six episode three “Promotion”. Thank heavens for final seasons; they come in like Oprah handing out gifts. Moira, Luke, Rita, look under your seats. YOU get a plot, YOU get a plot.

Warning: contains spoilers for Black Mirror season 7 episode 4 “Plaything.”You have to admit, the man has a point. Peter Capaldi’s “Plaything” character may have spent the last four decades tripping balls in a funky-smelling attic while serving as a wide-eyed acolyte for a bunch of potentially murderous Tamagotchi, but he’s right about human violence; look at the tale we were just told.
