Maid (2021)

both hearbreaking and hopeful

[9/10 · 26 July 2022]

I rarely get very emotional while watching shows but this one definitely hit me. I was invested in the characters more than I expected and found myself cheering for a happy ending. I don't typically enjoy watching "real life" shows and lean towards fantasy or science-fiction but this one is worth a watch even if you aren't usually inclined that way.

A story that really encapsulates how expensive and difficult it is to be poor in the U. S. and how the odds are stacked against you... however, a story that leaves a little bit of hope.

It surprised me!

[8/10 · 27 August 2021]

I've watched a lot of crime TV with my mom and can usually peg the actual murderer very quickly, but this series did leave me surprised at several points! The ending some would consider a stretch but I personally think it worked. Overall, I enjoyed how the series focused each episode on a different character (if you don't like the character that's the focus of Episode 1, give it until episode 2!) and it really left me wanting to see what came next and which character deep-dive they would do next.

Ultimately, it was enjoyable and I believe it was well-acted. The characters really grew on me, and I became pretty emotionally invested midway through the show. I think it's worth a shot to anyone who enjoys a "whodunnit"!
