"Alias Grace" is a miniseries that you can find on Netflix and it's based on the novel written by Margaret Atwood ("The handmaid tails").
Grace is an immigrant who arrived in Canada with her family from Ireland. She became the made of a rich family where she met her best friend. Some years later, Grace was hired in another family where she murdered the proprietor and his lover. She was sentenced to death at the beginning, but a doctor wanted to help her to change it into a life sentence.
I love the setting of the series: the 19th century is a fascinating period. The simplicity of that period's people is something we couldn't imagine in our contemporary years.
I think the protagonist actress, Sarah Gadon (Grace), is perfect for these enigmatic roles. I saw her for the first time in "The Queen's Gambit" and I really loved her and her character.
I found the series relaxing. Not so much engaging, maybe a little touching for those who are more sensitive.
Have you seen "Alias Grace"? What do you think about it? Who could you have been in the 19th century based on your actual family and work conditions? Let me know in the comments.
Night blesses you.
