Peak TV means that in this final week of April, 2017, not one but two new series based on decades-old, critically acclaimed novels packed with so-called "timely" and "relevant" themes will debut. American Gods, which bows on Starz April 30, and The Handmaid's Tale, which premieres its first three episodes on Hulu on April 26.
Then again, any TV series with a tangentially controversial theme might be considered "timely" in the current polarizing political climate. And while Neil Gaiman's American Gods, released in 2001, touches on immigration and religion, it's also a fantasy involving ancient mythology and supernatural creatures. The Handmaid's Tale, on the other hand, might have felt like an improbably dystopian far-future when Margaret Atwood wrote the novel in 1985. But as each day of 2017 brings another, more unbelievable headline, the events of the series feels more and more metaphorical.
