"I'm going to tell her the M is for Maddy" I sobbed.

[@eleonoradeane5170]

I so wanted to like Sean. His character was not black and white. Beautifully acted.

[@meehow72]

This is why living in a DV relationship is never black and white and it's so hard for people to leave. You want to try and fix that person (if you love them) but only they can help themselves.

[@karenflores4987]

yeah both Alex and Sean come from abusive families. Alex didn't grew up with his father but had the burden of a mother who refused to take care of herself and on the other hand Sean who actually grew with an abusive father and emotionally unavailable mother. It messes up kids. But one thing to learn is that just because you understand why the abuser acts that way, you are not obligated to stay to help "fix him" at the expense of your own sanity and wellbeing.

[@dreamyanon5151]

@@karenflores4987 I think it's exactly this. I think the nuance of him being black and white felt risky to the narrative in some ways (maybe people feeling Alex wasn't really victimized) but essential to understanding these kind of relationships. He isn't evil and he is flawed but that doesn't change the harm he has done and the way he was treating her. You are not obligated to stay or be sympathetic because of it. I'm reminded of the last conversation she has with the dad where he says he didn't see abuse, he just saw a young couple struggling, and kept saying Sean needed her support when she responded "I can't worry about him right now, I need to take care of me!".

[@sixteen.candles.4644]

[@sorciresoriano1196]

It was so close to a personal experience. Cried every episode!

[@melissak8419]

They way Nick played Sean was so well layered. But that scene where her Mother has a breakdown, and he uses that to emotionally draw her back in was so raw and real. Even the way her Dad wouldn't stand up for her because he was the same way with her Mom. I knew as soon as Sean had to start working more hours again to keep her at home to himself, she would sink into the same routine, again, then taking her car away, and back to alcohol again. That cycle of abuse is so systemic and real in our society. The way her Mom kept going from Man to Man reminds me of my own mother as well as my mother-in-law. We need a better system to help women/people in general to get out.

[@dottiefarmer5547]

Alex works hard then self sabotages anything she has achieved by allowing the people around her to ruin it. The same thing would of happened once ahe attended school if she were to take her mother with her. She would not be able to complete a 4 year program while also taking care of her mother. Her mother needs to be on meds. There are programs but the problem is that her mom refuses to be in one and take her meds. So what do you do?

[@moonee2595]

The first familycourt scene was so believable and on point, having been in the same situation. Family court provided no acknowledgment or concern regarding my domestic abuse story. To not be seen, heard or acknowledged for our truth is a very horrifying and demoralizing thing to go through. I thought the entire series was so authentic about abuse and CPTSD. So well done.

[@RealMsLedo]

That’s why it was so amazing

[@85retrogirl]

Yes, Carol Whelihan...I absolutely agree. Been there. Everything you stated above is true. I've been wanting to write about my experiences and have held back, but this series is inspiring me the more I watch it. It's painful. The worse pain, in my opinion, next to death.

[@novaste1238]

Agreed Carol xx I finally felt like someone else out there knew my story. From the abuse, to wanting me to abort, to addiction, the type of mother Shaun has, the audacity of taking me to court, money dwindling, the LONELINESS - feeling like you're in that deep dark well all alone or the couch swallowing you, but even when you want to stop... because some days you'll even want to die... you HAVE to fight... for that little soul relying on you. This was one of the best series on Netflix, well done to all the actors, such an amazing job. So moving, so victorious.

[@rubberbiscuit99]

This series is important for exposing what it is like to live around and with mental illness and cycles of abuse. As an abuse survivor, it triggered the hell out of me to where I had to stop watching at several points to recover before I could continue. The writing was on point, and the acting was very very good. What also stood out was how the series used recurrent flashbacks to show the main character starting to recover and process traumatic memories. The use of the dark images where the main character is sucked into the couch, and at the bottom of the dark well, were accurate depictions of the emotional experience of soul murder in a relationship with an abuser. Truly an amazing piece of work in so many respects.

[@lofatmat]

I thought Andy was amazing!

[@catherinetong4472]

I liked that black pit analogy too, such a realistic feeling of being stuck I was rooting for Alex to get out.

Thanks for sharing this. I had the same response. I relate to what you said about the couch and the dark imagery. I had my own flashbacks and was shocked how much this helped me grow. Made me cry just to read this. It’s so hard to handle this type of psychological warfare. Best of luck. Hope your well..

@@rubberbiscuit99 I agree 100%. It used to make me sad knowing I had am these problems… that was until I realized how much the abuse really shaped me… and how my survival of it was a testimony to my strength and determination to survive and thrive. I still struggle with how I look at myself. The sexual abuse really messed with me and the psychological warfare I had to fight as a kid most likely is half the reason I still struggle with life today. I still feel stupid and like I deserve half the crap people do to me. Idk why. It’s just like, normal to me now. Even though I know it’s wrong. Hope that makes sense…

Thank you for the best portrayal of the deep struggle. I never thought I would binge this series. I know so many other people said that. But I cried for you and for myself. I felt the emotion of standing on my own two feet in my own little way just to have life knock back down.

I remember watching "Maid" and thinking, "How did they find someone for the lead who looks so much like she could be Andie MacDowell's daughter?" Mystery solved!! They're both amazing in this, and it's a huge departure from Ms. MacDowell's typical roles. Also, I was binging "Maid" and "A Teacher" at the same time, and didn't recognize Mr. Robinson as "Eric" from "A Teacher". He brought a very different energy to these two demanding roles. Ms. Rose brought a wonderful complexity to her role as well. There were a lot of stellar performances in this show. I hope it gets its due recognition.

[@elenal4602]

I've watched today the last episode and I cried, I really cried a lot. Alex's story made me thinking about a lot of things that happened in my life, I'm a single mother too and I know how hard is the life when you have to do all alone. A massive hug to all the single mothers, they deserve it!

[@SimV239]

Yes! That’s the whole truth about abuse, the victim is always lured back into the abusive relationship, because women are predominantly nurturers, we try to see the good & possibility of fixing things. This is what makes us stay in such relationships. It was so important to show that & the series did a great job in showing the hows & whys of abuse. That said, Sean needed all the help, just like Alex. He too came from broken abusive home, but then again, men get all the sympathy unlike women. 😅

I didn't know Margaret was in Once Upon a Time, so that's what's cued up for tonight! She says more with her eyes and facial expressions, than most actors do with their lines. 3) Nick was terrific as he swang back and forth between loving father/partner and a**hole abuser. I will soon be watching A Teacher. 4) Andie blew me away with her cringe-worthy, bipolar character - I wanted to leave the room every time she came on! Absolutely brilliant and 180 degrees from every other character I've seen her portray. If that doesn't earn her several major nominations, I will be very disappointed. 4) I was absolutely mesmerized by Anika's 'return from the Caribean scene'! The world around me came to full-stop during those 3 minutes of dramatic brilliance.

[@ellencunningham7209]

Maid was such an incredible series and yes I binged all 10 episodes! It was a real eye opener to Alex’s journey as a single mom at a young age with the added stress of battling the system.

Great interviews. I absolutely LOVED this series. Margaret Qualley is exceptional - extra-ordinary which makes her extraordinary! I was able to relate to her/character so much. There was one scene where she broke down, crying on the ground inside the trailer home, I cried with her & I’m crying now recalling it.

[@akmediascope]

I love Margaret's voice.. Omg. . Maid was so good. I didn't mean to binge it but I did and I took "cry" breaks because I related to everything that happened in this story. Much of this is my life

It's a WONDERFUL series. I've watched it twice, and I'm about to read the book. I'm a survivor of domestic abuse and it was SO affirming and healing to experience this series. Spot on and beautifully crafted, the writing and actors are outstanding. The truth of being the working poor and continually enduring the power dynamic and personalities of the people you clean for. THANK YOU - beyond words.

You & Nick Robinson should get an award. Some really hard scenes. Well done to you both 👏👏👏

I’m so beyond ready for a season 2 and for it to continue from there . Truly this is the best series I have ever watched in my life .. I have went back and watched this show 3 times over . I just can’t get enough . The story is so deep and so heartfelt . Although I have never went through some of the things she’s went through.. I felt so connected to other sides of her story as a mom and simply going through so much throughout my own story .. please please please bring this series back ! ❤

[@jaygatz4335]

Great dialogue in this series. I laughed out loud when Paula referred to her beloved El Camino as her cobalt bitch! Or when she said only a square would know what a trapezoid is. These moments were much needed comic relief in such a heavy story.

This was an absolutely amazing program. Margaret Qualley was unbelievable and had such a layered performance. Her family once lived in Asheville, NC where I saw her once at our local theater (Asheville Community Theater). She was a young girl and it’s so surprising to see what a fabulous actress she has become. Her mother, Andie was very philanthropic with our local hospital. What an amazing, superb family. We all felt so lucky to have them living among us. Wishing her nothing but the very best in her career. I’m sure she will be someone to watch going forward. Asheville sends tons of love!!!!!!!

[@sincerelysarinarose]

one of the best things I have watched in a very, very long time. absolutely incredible!!!

[@sarahfurtado6992]

I am from Victoria and I find it so cool that this show was filled there, especially when in the last couple of episodes where Alexa went to lunch and for a walk by the water with her friend. I was in that area and saw all of the trailers

[@ellieg7160]

An extremely well produced series - incredible acting, complex characters, emotions and plots. and such a great sense of atmosphere and mood from the set design and lighting. Despite all that, the main thing that sticks out to me from this interview is to hear that the little girl playing Maddy has been forced into veganism by her parents! At any age it is catastrophic for the body and brain, but at such a young age, it is tragic... I can't stop thinking about.

[@eileenc477]

Just to address your incorrect and uneducated comments about veganism - catastrophic for the body and the brain? Look up how many top sportsmen and women are vegans, as are many philosophers, artists etc. How different is veganism to being forced into eating dead animals by your parents? This is 2021, so much is now known about the advantages of a vegan diet and the benefits to the planet, but you must have missed the memo 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@eileenc477 Vegetarianism I can understand, I’m a Hindu, we practice that a lot, but vegans are a bit extreme.

[@LauraSanchezLazo]

I agree. She’s too young to be vegan. I certainly wouldn’t let my child to become vegan that young. Later in life yes.

[@chrislawless1517]

This was the realest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Such quality writing and direction and performances. Great soundtrack too

[@oc174]

Fave scene is when she does the wiggle wiggle dance to the landlord when looking for an apartment... it was so adorable.. lol

[@stacydill1486]

Regina was a complex amazing character. Bravo acting!

[@mimisamii]

I managed to watch everything in a day. I love this im inspired...... Thank you... i will surely buy the book Maid by Stephanie Land and read it again. ❤

[@samanthafields434]

I did as well! It was so brilliant. I was sad when it ended

[@kdot2824]

Best show. Its so heartwarming yet an eye opener for everyone. I could totally find myself watching this all over and over again.

[@kdot2824]

And one more thing,Alex and Sean had the best chemistry without the violence content. I love this show and I wish it could be longer

[@SuperTzippy]

Me tooooo

[@taniamcphelim6900]

I so loved this show it reminded me when l was young single mother of three. The struggles we face l was 18 when l had my daughter by the time l was 23 l had three children, l also write poems. I still do. I also had a lot of domestic violence as well. And l had no support from my parents l did it all on my own but l had help from nice people l meet. I had a social worker that helped me from the domestic violence. I just loved the way she really captured the love of her daughter. I couldn’t stop watching it until the end. I have told my daughter to watch it now. Margret such a great actor and it was so good to see andie too. I always been a fan of Andie McDowell.

[@kashmiriborah4529]

Just completed watching the series. I loved to watch the series and its songs by Sharon Van Etten..just wow!! acting was very good and is quite inspiring 👍❤️

[@tristancakes920]

Wow Margaret speaking on how she bonded with Maddy/Riley is amazing and wholesome. I am a fan of her loved the series Maid!

[@zozodabozo]

This show is based off my hometown location, PT WA and this show resonated with me in a way before I found that out. I loved the show because it helped me understand how domestic abuse can be so complex, serious and hard to define

[@JudahMarley]

Binge watched.!! Margaret you did the thing!! Been there done it. You guys rock! Well played!!

[@Dgamebud]

She was AMAZING!!!!! I cried, i laughed and cried again... and when she's starting to get good news and building her life again... i feel proud!!! But at the same time get frustrated coz of the Mom... hahahahha is freaking a roller coster emotions!!!!
