Generally speaking, I found this miniseries more competent than captivating or humane. It's not that the story stops being realistic, because the themes are realistic.

It's not that the story stops being realistic, because the themes are realistic. However, in order for the story to remain in the same tone for almost its entire duration, the scripts for all the episodes create one drama after another.
This with the intention that the protagonist's situation is always precarious.

As if it wasn't enough of a problem that she has no home or how to support her little daughter.

There are times where the situation even feels cartoonish because I even got to say: ''Cmon, this girl just can't catch a break''

If you can get through some of the situations, Maid reveals itself as a more than functional and relevant drama, although inevitably bloated in terms of duration, tone and rhythm.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing is to see Margaret Qualley's graduation, in which is without a doubt the best role of her career and her best performance so far.

She carries the protagonism with ease, and also carries the full weight of the story.
Considering that all the ingredients of it revolve around her, that's more than remarkable.

I really think it's worth your time, just keep in mind that at least in my opinion, the 10 episodes felt excessive.… Expand

WhileStephanie Land’s memoir is the basis for this limited series. Margaret Qualley plays a mother who escapes a potentially abusive marriage with her young daughter, only to find the barriers to independence are numerous and overwhelming. While she deals with complex requirements for refuge and assistance, she takes a job as a maid. This gives her a chance to get on her feet, but also inspires her writing ambitions, while making lots of statements about the situations of abused women. Qualley does a good job of capturing her character’s dilemmas and it’s more fun to watch Andie MacDowell, her real-life mom, playing her eccentric screen mom. The 4th episode (the last one I’ve watched) features an interesting twist and I suspect there are more to come. (10 one-hour episodes)… Expand

A very powerful and moving story about domestic abuse, the struggle with bureaucracy, money and the practical problems trying to get back on your feet.

If anyone ever asks, what's the point of welfare programs, point them to this show.
