Devious Maids

The series ended at very bad timing. All 4 seasons are very good not a single episode is boring. I dont even know why they cancelled this show.it has lot more to give yet.All 4 maids are doing their job perfectly.Evelyn and adrian powell are my fav character.I hope this serious come backs.

Good times fun. Anyone should enjoy this show. The only irritating thing is when people spend 3/4 of their review writing about how Latinas are so subjected to stereotypes. Seems to me that everyone enjoys the show & only one person brought it up. Bringing up unnecessary racial remarks are why racism is still a problem. The girls signed up for the show, it's doing well, good luck to them, I enjoy it. Tired of racism. If you see racism in this series then I guess it's you. Well I just tried to submit my statement. Wouldn't go through because you need 10 lines of text. So let it be known that I usually never take this much time to give a show a good rating but, it is definitely worth a watch.

Currently watching this show for the 2nd time with my daughter and I have no clue why it was ever cancelled! It is hilarious and heartwarming and brilliant and it never gets old.

Five maids,all ambitious in their own ways;four families that employ them-each family has a past and dark secrets and that's fodder for the maids' gossip which will last them a lifetime. When there's a huge star cast,it gives an advantage of adding many twists,episode after episode,thus leaving the audience guessing and wanting more. The creators of this show are well aware of this and they've used it very well to their advantage. It's very entertaining,I'll give it that,but it's quite clichéd too. The pilot sort of picks up from the Desperate housewives' final season-a murder,families harboring secrets,relationships being tested..you get the point. Nevertheless,it's a colorful show(in every way you can imagine) and makes sure you do not yawn,at all. I am not hooked to it,given the known plot spool,but I'd definitely choose it to have a good light time.

Back in the 1970's when my mother and my sisters would sit down and take over the single TV we owned in the house to watch their afternoon and/or evening soap operas I was miserable. I just could not stand the cheap melodramatic music scores and/or the hokey and predictable "whodunit?" episodes week after week.

My how 40 years have made a difference and now Devious Maids comes along and this series takes soap operas to a new and hilarious camp level. In this particular episode (Season 4, Episode 2 Another One Bites the Dust) the four main female (Maids) characters (Roselyn Sanchez, Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez and Judy Reyes) are all dealing with their own issues whether the issue is dealing with one of their lovers being accused of murdering his ex-wife, or another of the maids having her daughter (who doesn't know the maid is her mother) tries to seduce their boss, to another maid who is falling in love with the next door neighbour (who lives with his mother still) under the pretense that she actually owns the house she his house sitting for, and lastly but not forgotten the remaining maid who has written a best selling book and making it into her dream movie of her life story until the lead actress is murdered by one of the other maids lovers.

In Season 4, episode 2 (Another One Wipes The Dust) there is one scene that is just hilarious when the rich and famous couple Evelyn Powell (Rebecca Wisocky) and Adrian Powell (Tom Irwin) who employ some of these devious maids to either hide their darkest secrets, or to spy on their spouse and catch them in a compromising position come to a head when each knows of the others dark secrets and Evelyn responds to her husband Adrian's request to stay together by stating "well Adrian I guess you will just have to blow yourself". What? Did Evelyn Powell just say what I think she said? Of course she did, because the year is 2016 and the TV censors have lightened up in a big way.

I haven't even mentioned soap opera Queen Susan Lucci who plays a very rich bitch and divorced wife three times over Genevieve Delacourt who also has the Devious maids working for her. At 69 years of age she looks fantastic and she is absolutely perfectly type cast as a wealthy single lady who sleeps with her full makeup on and her diamond earrings.

If you are looking for a ridiculously campy soap opera that is really light and funny entertainment than don't miss this one episode it is one of the best comedy/camp soap operas I have ever seen. I give it an 8 out of 10 rating. What an absolute joy to watch and what a hoot!
