As the title of the series reveals itself 'Maya', which means illusion. I thought that I will encounter something relatable to magic but what I saw seemed like an Indian version of fifty shades of grey. Pardon me if I'm wrong but honestly, you can create a better recipe if you know the right ingredient of making an erotic drama. Shama Sikander is no doubt a bold actress and also bold enough to even chose to play the lead character Maya, who's a troubled woman trapped in the realm of unfulfilled desire. Shama seems to be doing a good job justifying the character but not all of it and you can't blame her for that. The script has plot-holes that you just can't fill with sex scenes. The series focuses on just sex rather concentrating on the psychological dilemma one goes to indulge in fantasies like BDSM. I don't want to spoil it for you but the characters are having hardcore sex because they find solace in it, it's a good concept but it has to be backed with some solid plot. I can go with Five stars for this series, if you're looking for softcore porn then this series for you expect that it is just a tale gone wrong.
