Alias Grace (Alias Grace)
For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale (which is a Hulu original and will therefore never make it to Netflix streaming), Alias Grace is the next best thing. Adapted from another of Margaret Atwood’s novels, Alias Grace is based on the true story of the 1843 murders of Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper Nancy Montgomery in Canada West. It’s one of those, based on a true story but really about the fictional relationship between historical characters things, and it is every bit as engrossing as you can imagine.
