    Great plot, not powerful ending
    When you start to watch the series, you immediately grasp that it is a literary adaptation. It has a strong social background of the 19th century Canada, and touches upon socio-economic issues strongly. In fact, not only touches upon also develops the entire plot on the top of these issues like class conflict, women's status, medicine, law, prison etc. The series reflects all these things in a quite realistic manner. I like the quotes from various authors that appear before each episode also. Many factors make Alias Grace something that is more than a TV-production.

    Marvelous acting and attracting plot/story-telling push you to finish all episodes as soon as possible. However, the ending was not powerful enough to meet expectations which previous episodes created. I have no problem with open-endings or mysteries, yet more clues would be way better.
