The Big Picture In 2017, several Margaret Atwood adaptations hit the small screen. Compared to the hubbub surrounding Hulu's The Handmaid’s Tale, the first streaming series to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, Netflix's Alias Grace slid under the radar. A 6-episode miniseries based on Atwood's 1996 book of the same name, which in turn spins a glorious fictional meditation inspired by an infamous real-life murder, Alias Grace is Handmaid's unintentional echo.
Atwood discovered Grace's story through writer Susanna Moodie's Life in the Clearings Versus the Bush, and it remained with her as she published her first eight novels. According to The Canadian Encyclopedia, "Moodie’s account was from the perspective of James McDermott by the 1990s, Atwood started questioning Moodie’s portrayal of Marks as a guilty madwoman." Hence, Alias Grace was born.
It's that twist — Grace's headspace being amorphous and relative — that's the beating heart of Alias Grace's appeal. Even though she narrates her thoughts to the audience, Grace defines the term "unreliable narrator." Alias Grace weaves historical truth with subjective speculation, and that's paramount to the knotty themes at play. The one certainty is the psychological toll of oppression.

They never face punishment, even if their affairs result in a destitute woman's death. Grace compares these individuals, who never have to think about "cleaning up their messes," to the predators of the animal world. The key difference is that predators feed to survive. Humans hunt for sport. At least marriage guarantees some security.
