Maid (Netflix limited series)

[Zobaczcie suki]

This was the first time in quite a while that I was blown away by a show. No superheroes, but a big time hero in this young mom trying to survive. Lots of battles, but no gunfire, explosions or even brawls. Lots of disasters, but no earthquakes, plagues, or alien invasions. A very simple story about someone confronting incredible real life challenges that are more than any one person should be able to navigate through.

Heard this was great. It’s on my list.

WTB and I are going to start to watch it probably this week.

Started this. It's pretty damn good. My WTB said that she loves it because this isn't "some type of statement piece of a young, strong woman" that is anti-men. She loves the fact that the main character is flawed and the husband has some redeeming qualities as well.

It is a real look at struggles without being over the top.

Highly recommend.

I've watched some of this.

Reading from a lot of women that have been in similar situations that it is a bit triggering - that it is accurate enough that it brings back memories of it happening to them - the abuse, the poverty, the struggles, etc.

This is incredibly well done. It’s tone feels very authentic.

You are right, it was like watching a real story.

Andi McDowell is really good in this... lots of range from what I normally see her do.

Man, this is a hard watch.

Halfway through. Really compelling. Thumbs up.

Man, this is a hard watch.

Absolutely. The first two episodes were some of the most painful, gut-wrenching TV I have ever watched and I have seen some twisted ish. With that said, I binged the entire series in one day yesterday. Margaret Qualley was great and Andie MacDowell absolutely nailed it. I would not be surprised if she isn't up for best supporting actress.

this show is so good. okay wow. just finished episode 8. we think we’ve predicted how it’ll end, but such a great show. it really puts things into perspective, as to how hard some people have it and how blessed me and my lady are. :/

All these comments are dead on. Just incredible all around.

Reminded me a bit of what my mom and I went through, although she was a bit younger having me at 15.

I was so glad she found at least a few people she was able to count on along the way.

This show will stick in my mind for a looong time.
