I'm watching Alias Grace on Netflix, and it's really good so far.

I haven't read the source material, but the acting is top notch. Superb.

1. Thanks for sharing

I will have to watch this! Appears to be very relevant to the current situation with powerful men and their domination over females (e.g. Weinstein, and so many others).

4. Atlantic Review. Some spoiling. Sounds intriguing, will check it out.

Seems very apropos for what's going on right now with all the sexual abuse revelations.

Alias Grace Is True Crime Through the Female Gaze
The new Netflix drama—an adaptation of the novel by Margaret Atwood—is must-watch TV for the current moment.

In a scene in the second episode of Netflix’s Alias Grace, Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon) comforts her best friend, Mary Whitney (Rebecca Liddiard), who’s in extraordinary pain following an illegal abortion. Both are teenagers and servant girls in Upper Canada. Mary’s been abandoned by the wealthy man who promised to marry her, but who now wants her to drown herself to spare him any shame. “Grace, I am so angry,” Mary says, shaking. “I am so very angry.” To comfort her, Grace talks about the political rebellion in Canada, where revolutionaries are demanding liberty and independence. “They don’t have it yet, but they will,” she says. “Because we didn’t lose. We just haven’t won yet.”
