This series, since its inception, has carried the burden of including lots of tie-ins and references to the large-screen Marvel movies – a necessary component, arguably, since this show’s hero, Coulson (played by Clark Gregg), was killed in one of those movies, and brought back to life to star on this TV spinoff. Last week, the seemingly big threat to the universe – Ruby, having evolved into the unstable Destroyer of Worlds – was killed, rather brutally, by S.H.I.E.L.D. a

THE HANDMAID'S TALE By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Many series these days return from hiatus between seasons having jumped ahead in their narrative time lines – a year later, three years later, or, in the case of Roseanne, many, many years later. But The Handmaid’s Tale, fresh from its Emmy win as Outstanding Drama Series, returns by picking up right where it left off: With our oppressed heroine, played so powerfully by Elisabeth Moss, being escorted by force from the home where she was assigned (i.e. imprisoned) as

NOVA WONDERS By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: There’s a lot that could be called smart and clever in this new six-part spinoff science series from Nova, the super-long-running PBS show.

The actor playing Mike, Patrick Adams, is pursuing other opportunities. An
