    Quailly seemed more focused on looking pretty than actually behaving like a character, harkening back to her disastrous role in Death Stranding. There was nothing about her performance that said she was a mother - she seemed like a Horror film actress: more concerned with looking sultry than acting, fitting as this was released in October.

    Oh, but shes a Zoomer, so of course she will get praise for her sorry performance. Yet another show about Zoomers, casting Zoomers, and is as droll and every other Zoomer show (so, that means EVERY new show the last half-decade from Netflix). You’d think they’d run out of zoomers to cast, but nope they just keep getting handed shows on a silver platter despite having no talent.    … Expand

    Trying too hard to be a poverty porn series. Performances are average to farcical. What happened to one of my favorite actresses?

    Qualley and Metzler give us a heroine too smart to ever mistakenly believe that the abuse is her fault, that her circumstances cannot be overcome and that if the supportive strangers surrounding her could do it, that there’s any reason she won’t be able to either.

    [Alex and Paula] are each other’s worst enemies and greatest advocates, and watching them dance through their complicated love for one another is one of the most enriching experiences of the fall TV season. Like so much in Maid, you don’t just observe what’s happening to them. You feel like you’re in it right along with them.

    There are many moments found within Netflix’s limited series “Maid” where I just said, “Wow.” It wasn’t strictly the moving performances from an all-around talented cast, nor was it the empathetic and complex relationships that develop and change over 10 episodes. It was the overall package, one that blossomed into a show that left me laughing as often as I was crying.
