Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, April 28. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu, 12:01 a.m., season premiere): If you need a break from real life doom-and-gloom, you can seek it in the fictional world of The Handmaid’s Tale, which launches season four with three episodes. June Osborne goes on the run and strikes back against Gilead as a rebel after she helped 86 kids escape to Canada in the season three finale. Ines Bellina will be recapping the new episodes every week.
Regular coverage
Presidential Address (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, 9 p.m.): Networks are taking a break from new episodes of The Conners, Chicago Fire, SEAL Team, and Call Your Mother in lieu President Joe Biden’s first address to Congress.
Wild cards
Headspace Guide To Sleep (Netflix, 3:01 a.m.): This is the second series in the partnership deal between Netflix, mindfulness company Headspace, and Vox Media Studios. The seven-episode season of this wellness program addresses the myths and misconceptions around sleep patterns and how meditation can help as a sleep aid, among other tips and practices.
Sexify (Netflix, 3:01 a.m.): This probably NSFW Polish drama focuses on software engineer Natalia (Aleksandra Skraba) and her journey of self-discovery when it comes to sex as she builds a high-tech app designed to help her peers better understand the female orgasm. The show also stars Maria Sobocinska, Sandra Drzymalska, Malgorzata Foremniak, Bartosz Gelner, and Piotr Pacek.

I suppose the rest of the world isn’t really shown in this series, is it? There was one small part with the ambassador of Mexico, and of course, Canada, but is that pretty much it?It would seem that with Russia going the course it’s been going, that it would have much in common with Gilead in the future.
In the books, from what I recall, they don’t mention what’s going on outside of Gilead, what’s left of the US, and Canada.
Didn’t bother to research “Sexify”, did you? Lazy gits… https://www.netflix.com/md-en/title/81140470
As much as the third season pissed me off, I’ll still watch The Handmaid’s Tale. Reading The Testaments when it came out brought me back. Just hope that it’s not 80% embarrassing needle drops with Elizabeth Moss close ups.
Can we talk about the Scientology?
