manhesr A little bit slow and not really clear ending. Acting is good and I really like the characters
ooOoOossH Spannungsfreie, vorhersehbare Handlung. Flache Charaktere und enntäuschende Entwicklung
boyled An excellent show. I was surprised how good it was. I haven't read the book, but after watching I would be encouraged to check it out. There have been some comments about the accents, but contrary to what some might say, Sarah Gadon's accent was spot on. Only criticism is, we don't sing with a Nordy accent. :)
cheergal I was drawn into the era of story which I never read and was clueless. Its claiming based on true story certainly added another enticing element. And it did not disappoint me with its surprisingly well thought out storyline.In my view, Dr. Jordan's character was brilliantly put and relevant despite of its fictional nature hence the scenario could not be done without. The degree of truth in reality might not be followed through . However, it's not overly dramatized without merits.I am intrigued by Ms. Atwood's creativity to build the true event into such a logically unfolding and gripping story. I do not think there would be any diagnoses of multiple personality disorder exited or awareness even in 19th century. Yet, it displayed the causes of the horrendous crime at that time despite its half fictional story. What amazed me the most was the psychopathic killings of James McDermott's part explained Grace's being a unwilling accomplice which would fit into the modern murder profile of such kind. I would give Ms. Atwood two thumbs up on that. Once a while I enjoy well-crafted psychopath thrillers without overwhelmingly graphic images for a change. This definitely would be one of them.
