Maid

The acting, sets and locations were amazing, however its the story which is haunting me. The fact this story has resonated with so many people is comforting yet also heartbreaking. I WAS that mother. Same age, same socio-economic position, same partner, dysfunctional parents. I loved nature. The thing that hurts the most is I had the same potential. I had university scholarships but was still too poor to finish. I'm still essentially a 'Maid'. But my son is at University. This story hurts my soul. Not all stories are meant to make you feel good but that is so many peoples realities. This Series is about LIFE. And that is why it is amazing.

Margaret Qualley is riveting throughout; I've loved her several roles she's always worth watching! I didn't expect this show to be so sad yet so powerfully acted feels so genuine. Lately I've been really into Buffy the vampire slayer but I'm glad I decided to watch Maid it's so worth it. Crazy how intense everything starts out and improves as it goes on. Maid is very lovable I highly recommend it!

This series shows the reality of being in poverty and how generational trauma is past on. If people don't deal with mental difficulties, bad habits and do nothing to help themselves it always affects their children. I really felt for Alex and her struggles for navigating her way out of a situation that wasn't great for her.

With every step of Alex's struggle, I couldn't stop watching this series. Compelled to see her be treated better. Better by her family, the system and people in general.

I haven't stayed up all night watching a series for decades, and I'm a Binge-aholic! I wish I read the book first tbh.

Andie Macdowell, you have always been a superstar, but you working this role has launched you into the stratosphere! Bravo.

Domestic abuse, poverty, untreated mental illness - its a parasite on humanity. Maid takes you directly down the path and I thank all the people behind this story. You have created an evoking story telling tapestry that hopefully creates change.

Hopefully after people watch Maid, the next time they have the opportunity, they realise kindness and compassion can costs nothing. And if you come from privilege, open your eyes and help your fellow man.

I've read the reviews, the bad and the good, the bad reviews all said that the protagonist is very stupid, and makes stupid decision after another, and how that is not how life is, that is just not the case, this is exact what this story needs, because in real life, we regret decisions everyday, bad things happen, and you tell yourself: "God! How was I so stupid, why didn't I do this instead, how didn't I see that coming?" We can all relate to that feeling if it came to being betrayed, wasting money or time and especially domestic abuse. And the protagonist has that moment, when she falls back with her abuser, and she realized it was a bad decision, she breaks down and says: how could I be so stupid?
