Alias Grace
With all the hubbub around Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, this other Margaret Atwood adaptation didn’t get as much heat. Based off of Atwood’s fictionalized retelling of the circumstances around two actual gruesome murders in 19th century Toronto, Alias Grace is a sizzling story that grips you spiritually and visually. Helmed by fave Sarah Polley and with plenty of guidance – and a cameo – from Atwood herself, this short series shows us the true, mysterious heart of a celebrated murderess.
