Netflix’s Haunting Mini-Series Based On A 1996 Novel Boasts 99% Score On Rotten Tomatoes — Have You Seen It Yet?

Netflix viewers are still mesmerized by a chilling miniseries named Alias Grace, which slipped quietly into the platform’s vast catalog in 2017 but continues to hook anyone who stumbles upon it. Though the service is no stranger to gripping thrillers and psychological rides, some even earning the stamp of approval from the likes of Stephen King, this particular gem has proven to be a slow-burn sensation.

Alias Grace: Plot

The six-part drama, tucked within the shadowy folds of 19th-century Canada, unfolds the story of Grace Marks, a young Irish immigrant whose life as a domestic servant takes a dark and unexpected turn. Her employers end up brutally murdered, and Grace is thrown into the eye of the storm, convicted and surrounded by whispers of guilt.

At that moment, Dr. Simon Jordan, a curious psychiatrist, enters with a mission to explore the murky depths of her mind, though what he finds may disturb more than explain. Grace’s story soon unravels layer by layer, haunted by the memory of a fellow maid and drenched in the unsettling atmosphere of a world where nothing is what it seems.
