TV review: Maid is authentic and tough-going, with dignity and resilience

It felt like I was in the car with Alex and Maddy when they were driving along, singing their songs. Those bits were a joy to watch.

I didn’t start watching Maid on Netflix, my wife did. I heard her describe it as the story of a young woman trying to escape domestic abuse and thought it was just a bit dark for my taste in late October. So I read while my wife binged it, or sometimes just dozed on the couch when it was on.

Except I didn’t really doze. The story and the acting are just too good.
