    Has touches of greatness, which was enough to keep me watching the entire season. I had trouble reconciling different ways the protagonist was shown. Some scenes had her demonstrating great awareness about the world and society's rules, while others depicted her as hopelessly naive about even the most common-sense things. I don't mean she was simply wise but naive, or that it was traumaHas touches of greatness, which was enough to keep me watching the entire season. I had trouble reconciling different ways the protagonist was shown. Some scenes had her demonstrating great awareness about the world and society's rules, while others depicted her as hopelessly naive about even the most common-sense things. I don't mean she was simply wise but naive, or that it was trauma manifested in behavior, it was more jarring and inconsistent than that.

    It also had inconsistent messaging regarding emotional abuse, where it was portrayed as on-the-nose and villainous from one character and much more innocent from another.

    Despite these dissonances, still a well-acted and compelling watch, with some creative edits and engaging story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've watched two episodes only so far, it's an interesting and well told story, most of the scenes that has to do with the main subject (the domestic violence thing) are convincing, but some background stuff is embarrassing to watch, such as the maid's lunatic mother and her lame boyfriend, her father's behaviour, the super rich lady who's a Frankenstein of bad clichés, also, who writes 37.5$ checks? For unauthentic characters we have Marvel, it's a good series, but details are important… Expand

    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.
