This show keeps you on the edge of your seat, flipping back and forth between thinking the main character, Grace Marks, is innocent or guilty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alias Grace<\/em> is an original limited series by Netflix, based on Margaret Atwood\u2019s novel by the same name. And if the name Margaret Atwood sounds familiar to you, it might be because of her other wildly popular book series that was turned into a TV show\u2014<em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justwatch.com\/us\/tv-show\/the-handmaids-tale\">The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The novel, <em>Alias Grace<\/em>, is a fictionalized retelling of the real-life murders of Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery, in 1843. Two servants working on Mr. Kinnear\u2019s property, Grace Marks and James McDermott, were convicted of committing the murders.\u00a0Atwood\u2019s novel is based on factual events, but she invented a new character, Dr. Simon Jordan, to evaluate Grace Marks\u2019 story and determine whether she was innocent or guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Although the TV show aired in September 2017 on CBC Television in Canada, it aired internationally on Netflix in November 2017. There are only six episodes that are 45 minutes each, so it\u2019s a super quick weekend watch.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"A-fofQ9VpPQ\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/A-fofQ9VpPQ\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>I loved the novel iteration of <em>Alias Grace<\/em> so much; Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors, and this is my favorite book of hers. Because of this, I had high standards when I started watching the TV show iteration. I still think the book is better, but then again, no movie or TV show can ever <em>really<\/em> compete with a novel.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I think the TV show was a beautiful interpretation that stayed true to Atwood\u2019s vision. One of the reasons the show might have done so well in adapting the novel is that Margaret Atwood herself was a supervising producer. (She even had a teeny tiny cameo in the show, just as she did in <em>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>,\u00a0which was exciting to see!) The show is so good that people might even be convinced to read the book after binging it just because they want to know more about Grace Marks.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned above, the doctor character (Simon Jordan) is a fictionalized creation of Atwood\u2019s. Still, with how well he\u2019s incorporated into the story, he may as well have been in Canada West in 1843 when the murders were committed. Adding Dr. Simon Jordan to the tale was Atwood\u2019s brilliant way of evaluating the story along with you through the eyes of the doctor. Edward Holcroft, the actor who plays Dr. Jordan in the TV show, helps readers sympathize with the frustrations of not being able to figure Grace Marks out.<\/p>\n<p>Although Holcroft adds a special something to\u00a0<em>Alias Grace<\/em>, the real shining star is Sarah Gadon, the actress who plays Grace Marks. First off, she pulls off an Irish accent so well. I didn\u2019t even know Gordon was Canadian until I watched her interviews after binging\u00a0<em>Alias Grace<\/em>. But more importantly, she does an excellent job of teetering that line between innocence and guilt. And you can\u2019t quite put your finger on whether she\u2019s actually guilty or not, especially since you can hear both her spoken words and her thoughts throughout the show.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alias<\/em>\u00a0<em>Grace<\/em> is one of Netflix\u2019s many limited series, and I\u2019m thankful that it wasn\u2019t turned into a longer show just because it was good or grew a fan base. Some shows need to be short and sweet, and just tell the story they set out to.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Fwatch%2F80119411\"><em>Alias Grace<\/em><\/a> on Netflix right now.
