PERIOD DRAMA

Alias Grace,, Netflix

BASED on a novel by Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale), this 19th-century drama comes alive in the beautifully played scenes between Grace (Sarah Gadon, pictured), a young Irish immigrant imprisoned for a murder she may not have committed, and the psychologist (Edward Holcroft) who interviews her. In between, we see flashbacks to Grace’s earlier life.
