  • Such an amazingly well-written look inside the complexity of oppressed women that might not be the first of its kind, however, it never fails to amaze me how these stories still feel so refreshing. Really made me miss Mary Harron as a director but I‘m glad that everyone now agress on the fact that Sarah Gadon is the second coming of christ.

  • Very good and captivating miniseries, presenting important social themes and issues, and the performances are good too, especially Sarah Gadon's! Well worth watching.

  • A work that pierces the heart. I find the fine details beautiful as well. I felt that I couldn't be the one to judge the good and evil in the heart of someone who has lived such a harsh life.

  • A mystery drama based on Margaret Atwood's work about a real murder that occurred in 19th-century Canada 🔍 Even with an accessible limited series format of six 45-minute episodes, the full picture remains elusive, and you never quite know whether you can trust Grace. It delivers genuine mystery with subtle horror elements that make it thoroughly gripping 🙆‍♀️ The houses, furniture, and costumes were all wonderful, leaving me completely satisfied 😊

  • Profound, dramatically moving, and suspenseful flashbacks to the difficult life of Grace Marks reveal who this woman really is. And they provide a quite detailed insight into a time when the lives of the destitute population and of women in general were exceedingly harsh and virtually 'worthless'. A great success!
