Grace isn’t the show’s lead, or even one of the leads, though she does cross paths with Cora ( Thuso Mbedu), the chief protagonist and most seasoned traveler, when the grown runaway crawls into Grace’s stooped refuge, seeking similar concealment from the malevolent forces out for them both. A little girl not named Grace sits quietly at the center of Barry Jenkins’ “ The Underground Railroad.” Introduced in the third episode holding a finger to her lips, “Grace” - played by Mychal-Bella Bowman and whose real name constitutes a minor yet precious spoiler - has been hiding in a cramped attic for many, many months, waiting for the real, operational, underground railroad to whisk her out of North Carolina and into safer, less confined spaces.
