## Resource

Netflix’s Alias Grace is a haunting, mind-bending period drama based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, weaving between 1843 and 1859 in 19th-century Canada. It follows the brutal double murder of a wealthy farmer and his housekeeper, and the subsequent trial of servants Grace Marks and James McDermott—McDermott executed, Grace sentenced to life, both blaming each other. Sixteen years later, a psychiatrist grapples with whether Grace deserves a pardon due to insanity. With stellar performances from Sarah Gadon, Edward Holcroft, and Anna Paquin, and Atwood’s signature layered storytelling, it’s a chilling, beautifully crafted exploration of truth, guilt, and perception that lingers long after the final episode.
