Maid - Netflix

[CanofCant]

Just starting this. Judging from the trailers I will be crying and shouting at the telly in frustration before long.

[Darkchocolateandcoffee]

Is it good? Am considering going in.

[Carriemac]

So good .'

[Theblacksheepandme]

I have binge watched most of it. Andie MacDowell is a terrible actress but her daughter is fantastic. I am really enjoying it but it is heartbreaking to watch.

[Carriemac]

Is that her actual daughter ?

[Pinkflipflop85]

@Carriemac

Is that her actual daughter ?

Yes.

[Theblacksheepandme]

Yes

[Carriemac]

Apple fell very far from the tree so

[Theblacksheepandme]

Sorry that was meant for Carriemac.

[IdblowJonSnow]

What's it about?

[MacMahon]

I'm on episode 1, not sure I can watch this. It's unrelenting hopelessness so far.

[MacMahon]

What's it about?

A young woman and her little girl escaping domestic violence in a country with no social security net.

[Theblacksheepandme]

My husband doesn't like it at all. He thinks it just gets more and more depressing.

[RedRiverShore]

I'm enjoying it, it's a bit slow but quite good, but DH has gone upstairs to watch some cycling, muttering about shit on TV and Strictly shit later.

[teaandpastries]

2 episodes in.
Utterly brilliant. The actress is so good, unlike her mother

[amy85]

It's good but thought it would be better tbh Andie macdowell is awful

[NannyR]

I think this is brilliant, it reminds me a bit of "the pursuit of happyness" with Will Smith. I'm three episodes in and hoping things are going to get better for Alex soon. The little girl who plays Maddy is gorgeous and looks like she has a great bond with Margaret Qualley.

I think that little girls acting is fantastic.

[sleepyhoglet]

Going to try it out.

[queenofarles]

So so good!
And so heartbreaking to watch at times, the little girl is amazing so is the rich lawyer.

[Girliefriendlikespuppies]

I binged watched this Ystd, thought it was fab, maddy is gorgeous.

I'm really rooting for Alex.

[thinkfast]

I think Andie MacDowell is great in it.

Her daughter is also excellent. Really enjoying it so far, but yes it is on the harrowing side.

[sleepyhoglet]

Only one episode in and it's harrowing

[Theblacksheepandme]

I do think at times she doesn't do herself any favours and is her own worst enemy.

[MacMahon]

Can you give us an example from the first episode or two?

[Theblacksheepandme]

No, because the examples don't happen in the first few episodes but you will see. I don't want to give away any spoilers but at times I was nearly shouting at the telly at her.
