Did Marcella kill Grace in the show's first season?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The question looming on the minds of viewers during the first season of Marcella was did Marcella kill Grace? And the answer was anything but straightforward. The Hans Rosenfeldt series adopted the famed writer's distinct Nordic Noir style into a British TV series that follows the eponymous detective, played by Anna Friel, as she grapples with her own issues while trying to solve grisly murders.
Generally well-received across its three seasons , Marcella took the crime-a-season format and made it darker with all the tropes of the Nordic Noir genre and its intentionally dour outlook. The overlooked but binge-worthy crime drama mostly suffered from too much time between seasons, and the complicated plotlines often got tangled thanks to plot holes that couldn't be ignored.
Marcella Didn't Kill Grace Fortunately for Marcella, she was not the one who killed Grace, though all signs seemed to be pointing to her throughout the entire series. While investigating Grace's murder, Marcella kept a few details about her own connection to the case close to her vest, such as the fact that she did move Grace's body from the scene of the crime and that her husband was sleeping with Grace.
Henry Is Grace's Killer Though the Nordic Noir genre tends to subvert the tropes found in crime dramas, season 1 of Marcella ended with a convoluted twist that was almost as hard to believe as Marcella's fugue states that got her into the mess in the first place. In the end, it was Grace's step-brother Henry who actually killed her, and he murdered several others using the MO of a famous serial killer in order to frame someone else.
As far-fetched as that seems, his reasoning was even more suspect since the reason he killed Grace was because he was jealous of the attention that was lavished on her by his parents. Marcella season 1 still left some doors open regarding the show's protagonist as, in a fugue state, Marcella nearly murdered Henry using the same asphyxiation method that he had used on others. While it was likely just revenge, it didn't make the hero look particularly heroic.
