Everything about Maid is excellent. Each character is artfully crafted with depth and nuances to the point where you are right there with Alex, wanting to give them second chances in one episode and wanting to write them off forever in the next.
Domestic violence stories are tricky, running the risk of Lifetime movie cheese on one end and torture porn on the other. Maid tells this story from the most human perspective possible.
