Maid

You can really tell who's lucky enough not to have lived through the kind of generational trauma depicted in this show based on people's ratings.

Instead of victim blaming and accusing the characters of being stupid and making bad decisions, you should really just be THANKFUL AF that you weren't able to relate to any of it, because this is so many people's reality. You can judge the characters all you like but it says more about you than it does about them. Namely, that you're incapable of feeling empathy for anyone you can't personally relate to. And lack of empathy is a huge factor in why these situations play out the way they do in real life.

Some of y'all need a serious wake up call to the struggles that exist outside your privileged personal bubbles.

One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Beautifully written and amazing how it pulls on your heart strings. And all the drama felt very real and believable. So all in all, amazing show.

8/10: amazing.

This show is definitely worth watching. It's a real life journey. And a powerful one.

Some critics complained that some of the decisions made by the main character are so terrible it's alienated them but if you watch this show, by the time you get to the 9th episode you will get it. I know, I did. It was only by the 8th and 9th episodes that I fully understood what Alex and women like her are going through. It's easy to judge but if you go through a horrible situation like that, you will make mistakes. It's impossible not to.

I also liked how the show depicted the other characters. Each of them were dealing with their own set of problems. The writing and acting are very good. It's very realistic and powerful. I believe that if you take this journey, you won't regret it. By the time I finished binge watching the show I got an entirely new perspective on situations I thought I understood.

Highly recommended!

Margaret Qualley is riveting throughout; I've loved her several roles she's always worth watching! I didn't expect this show to be so sad yet so powerfully acted feels so genuine. Lately I've been really into Buffy the vampire slayer but I'm glad I decided to watch Maid it's so worth it. Crazy how intense everything starts out and improves as it goes on. Maid is very lovable I highly recommend it!

A strong, but above all honest and courageously told story about a life that exists so often, but from which one so often turns a blind eye. The young leading actress plays her role outstandingly. And believable. Netflix ventured into a subject that was certainly not easy to implement, but it proves what strength and diversity they are capable of. Outstanding, in your face.
