MEDIA RAYS

On TV

Catch of the day is the new adaptation of Margaret Atwood ’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” whose first three episodes are available on Hulu. Elisabeth Moss stars, with Alexis Bledel, along with Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovsky and Ann Dowd. It’s got Emmy and Peabody written all over it. I know it’s still early, but I’ve already penciled “The Handmaid’s Tale” in on my list of the year’s best shows. In fact, I’ll put it in ink. Yes, it’s that good.

The second season of the Italian import crime series “Gomorrah” premieres at 10 p.m. on Sundance TV.

KNTV, a.k.a. NBC Bay Area, has won a prestigious Peabody Award for its in-depth report “Arrested at School: Criminalizing Classroom Behavior.” The award and 10 others in the categories of news, public service, radio/podcast and Web were announced Tuesday, April 25. This isn’t TV news, but, you know — media. Robert Siegel, the host of “All Things Considered,” will step down from the position in January, NPR announced on Tuesday. Siegel has been part of NPR for more than 40 years, ever since he arrived in Washington in 1976.

He joined NPR as a newscaster, then became an editor, opened NPR’s London bureau, and ran the newsroom as NPR news chief. He took over “All Things Considered” in 1987.
