The Story – Maid drops Show on Netflix Explored
Alex (Margaret Qualley) is a young mom struggling to gain custody of her daughter Maddy (Rylea Nevaeh Whittet) after the emotional abuse she has endured at the hands of her boyfriend Sean (Nick Robinson). The show follows Alex as she tries to find employment and make a home for her daughter after years of controlling behaviour from her ex.
The show is inspired by Stephanie Land’s memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, And A Mother’s Will To Survive. Show creator Molly Smith Metzler has shared her desire to accurately depict emotional and physical abuse in the series:
“We see the bruises; we see the punches. What we don’t see is the corrosive, slow, violent denegation of self. It was very important for me to capture that on screen and to make you go through it as an audience member.”
