Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Deep into its run, “The Handmaid’s Tale” has found itself — or a version of itself, at once leaner and stranger — again. In the past, I’ve written that this show, which boasts a strong ensemble cast supporting probably the most agile performer on television, has been frustratingly unable to emerge from the potency of its set-up. Season after season was spent re-litigating the harms done to Elisabeth Moss’ June, all while reducing her from a recognizable human into a character history. The show made the point that June had been altered by trauma too well.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ with Serena Joy … who’s got a darker soul. Sofie to me was the complete opposite.“Having that springboard into this character was a treat for me.”“Stateless,” which premiered on Australia’s ABC network, was inspired by the true story of Cornelia Rau who, in 2004, was unlawfully detained for 10 months in Australia.“Even though [the show] was based on true events, we kind of did our own thing with Sofie.
