Maid
2021 · 1 Season · Netflix · Drama
Maid is an unflinching portrait of poverty, emotional abuse, and the bureaucratic gauntlet that traps people who are trying to escape both. Margaret Qualley delivers a breakthrough performance as a young mother navigating homelessness, custody battles, and a system designed to catch you in loops rather than lift you out. The show's refusal to simplify or sentimentalize poverty makes it one of the most honest depictions of class in American television, even when the emotional weight becomes almost unbearable.
