AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Out today on Netflix,thinking of watching it.Anyone else seen it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Not yet! Awfully busy, still catching up with life at home after being away from home base for so long. I will watch though and am so much looking forward to it. Atwood has long been one of my favorite novelists. The woman who brought us this series looks as though she really gets the book too.

Isis Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It went straight onto my list. Not sure when I'll get time to watch it though. Haven't even watched THT yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Watched the first two episodes and it's pretty damn good so far. Sarah Gadon is wonderful as Grace Marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I never read (or heard of) the novel. I was immediately sucked into the story, couldn't turn away and watched all six episodes in just a few sittings. However, I didn't hate it, didn't love it. It ended with me wanting more but also glad to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I have two episodes left, but am finding the story fascinating. Not sure if Grace is guilty or not, finding myself constantly shifting from one end to the other, based mainly on Sarah Gadon's wonderful portrayal of Grace Marks.

Yeah... it was kind of gross and rainy here sunday... we have a house full of food, so we binged all six episodes... it is slow, but we liked it... Sarah Gadon is excellent... but she kept reminding me of Saoirise Ronan... they could pass for sisters, and they both can do that thing with their eyes where they seem to be looking right through you... Bit I give this a solid 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Again, Sarah Gadon was fantastic. Her portrayal of Grace in the past and the story's present was excellent. Completely sold it. An entertaining, psychological mystery. But, geesh, was she ever surrounded by assholes. I'll have to learn more about the real Grace Marks.

Lily Valley Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I loved Atwood's novel, but I read it a looooooooooooooooooong time ago. Looking forward to watching this series. May have to wait until the weekend. Stupid finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Bludgeoned these last weeks by and ever, and rapidly, increasing list of sexual predators and abusers, and what they have been doing to women in the workplace, I just haven't been able to get myself to watch this. I love Atwood's work, and I admired this novel when it came out, so it isn't that. It's just -- the ever increasing weight of headache and a heartache and brain ache.
