Hi! Next series that I want to present to you is Alias Grace. It's a mini serial, it has only six episodes and just one season. This production tells a story about an Irish girl who was accused for brutal murders of her employer and his housekeeper. After many years in jail, she starts a therapy with an young and clever psychologist to eventually acquit her from the charges. Whole story goes on in the 19th century in Canada.
The main character is Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), she's a poor, Irish imigrant. She arrived to Canada when she was a very young girl. She had to work as a housekeeper in house where she met her best friend. Her father was an alcoholic and he commanded Grace to send all the money to him and other children in family, but she knew that he'll get drunk for this cash. That's why she cut herself off from them. Some people may call her a weirdo, because as a viewers we usually see her in the time when she's in the prison, where she lost some of her mind, but we can see her in times when she was free and happy in retrospections. It's really hard to describe her character, because the series moves between the past, present and even the future of Grace's life.
This series is tough, requires a lot of thinking and reflection. The ending is very confusing and whole story is a mystery untill the final scene. It takes many difficult issues, for example: unprofessionally made abortion by Grace's teenage friend and ways how people with mental illnesses were treated those days. After all, I think it's worth to watch and I highly recommend it for everyone who likes mystery and psychological theards.
I hope you liked this post, bye for now!
