While we were told yesterday with pleasure that The Handmaid’s Tale had already been renewed for a season 2 by Hulu whereas the first one has just begun, it is to episode 4 that one will be interested today hui. “Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum”, released yesterday on the VOD platform, tells us more about the world today, but also about the inexorable fall of society and the deprivation of rights that accompanied it.
