Set 17 years after the handmaid Offred climbed into the back of a van, possibly pregnant, unsure whether she was heading into captivity or freedom, “The Testaments” tells us what happened after that, deftly incorporating elements added in the TV series, unfolding both within and outside the fictional dystopia of Gilead. ![]() ![]() Margaret Atwood, you canny lady!
