Yes, I've seen it and read it. I think Grace is supposed to come off as potentially manipulative. She's doing these interviews in hopes of getting out of prison so she's presenting herself a certain way, and the truth isn't totally clear.

I like the book, the miniseries was okay but I thought they overplayed the doctor's sexual attraction to Grace. In the book he thinks about it a little but keeps it under wraps, IIRC.
