10 Recent Netflix TV Shows You HAVE To Binge Right Now
7. Maid (2021)
Full of heart and impactful social commentary, Maid was released to nothing but rave reviews in 2021.
The limited series is a ten episode adaptation of the book Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, focussing on the life of a young mother (Alex) who leaves her abusive relationship and starts cleaning homes to provide for herself and her little girl.
Every character has their own complex life and it does a great job of looking at the difficult, dysfunctional forces behind modern family life and the government’s approach to single working mothers.
There’s plenty of drama as the lives of the rich homeowners collide with Alex’s, and the topics of alcoholism, abuse and neglect are tackled with sensitivity and urgency. It’s no wonder really that it took off when Netflix first released it but there’s still time to get on that hype now, it’s not too late to catch up!
