Alex Russell, a young mother living in Port Hampstead, Washington, leaves her alcoholic, emotionally abusive boyfriend Sean in the middle of the night, taking their two-year-old daughter Maddy with her. Forced to sleep in her car and with almost no money, Alex meets with a social worker who informs her that she needs to present two pay stubs to qualify for subsidized housing. The only available job is at Value Maids, a cleaning company where she is hired by the owner on a trial basis. Her first cleaning job is at a lavish home on Fisher Island owned by the wealthy Regina. Alex has her manic, freewheeling mother Paula babysit Maddy. After returning from her shift, she finds out that Paula has returned Maddy to Sean. Alex rushes to Sean's trailer and takes Maddy back despite his protests. Her boss, Yolanda, calls to report that Regina was not happy with her cleaning. Alex opts to return to complete the job, but she and Maddy get into a car crash on the way there. She has her estranged father Hank drop them at the ferry station and with no other alternative, has no choice but to spend the night on the ferry station floor with Maddy.

Flashbacks show Alex first meeting Sean while reciting some of her personal writing at a restaurant. In the present, while still on the ferry station floor, Alex encounters an old friend, Nate, who buys them breakfast and gives her a lift back to Value Maids. Despite pleading and trying to explain herself, Yolanda still fires her. Alex is contacted by Sean's lawyer, who informs her that Sean has filed to claim full custody of Maddy. Alex's social worker advises that she take refuge at a nearby domestic violence shelter. While there, Alex befriends Danielle, a fellow resident. Alex loses her court case and Sean is granted full custody of Maddy until the court reconvenes in seven days. Danielle learns that Regina never paid Alex for her cleaning shift, and helps Alex steal Regina's dog. Regina is initially irate and threatens to call the police, but Alex stands up to her, making her feel guilty. Regina later sends the full payment to Alex. To Alex's shock, she discovers that Danielle has checked herself out of the shelter to return to her ex. The shelter's owner, Denise, informs her that most women finally leave after 7 attempts and that she herself, left her abusive ex-husband, after 5. In her journal, Alex recounts the souring of her relationship with Sean after she chose to not have an abortion.

Denise introduces Alex to a lawyer who advises that, while the legal system does not equate emotional abuse with domestic violence, her claim may still grant her joint custody of Maddy. After a particularly grueling cleaning shift, Alex finds Sean drunk at a bar with friends and chastises him for his negligent parenting. Alex attempts to obtain a statement from her mother Paula as a character witness to attest to Alex's fitness as a parent, but Paula is inattentive and the two have a bitter argument. Alex learns that Sean missed a bartending shift for the first time and discovers him intoxicated on the beach, reeling from the breakdown of their relationship. She reminds him of the responsibility of being a parent and brings him home. The next day Sean drops his court case and agrees to share custody of Maddy. Alex and Maddy arrive at their new subsidized housing unit and find that Paula has painted it for them.

Regina returns home that night and Wayne sneaks out. Regina is miserable after being asked for a divorce by her husband. She shares with Alex that she struggled to become pregnant and that she and her husband are expecting a child with a surrogate. She advises Alex not to let anyone take advantage of her. Alex writes in her journal about how even the wealthy may be deeply unhappy. Prior to picking up Maddy from Sean's care, Alex texts Wayne with the truth about her circumstances.

She later learns that her mother is missing and while searching for her, she sees Danielle who pretends not to know Alex once her boyfriend appears. Alex deliberately reenters the crawlspace in Barefoot Billy's house after the cleaning job is complete, and recalls that she and Paula fled home because Hank was physically abusive to Paula.

Nate puts her in contact with a Fisher Island nursery school, where Alex learns she will be eligible for a needs-based scholarship if she can provide proof of residence on the island. She finds an apartment whose landlords agree to let Alex barter for half the rent by providing landscaping services, and they offer Alex the use of their home for Maddy's third birthday party. During the party, Sean becomes intoxicated, breaks into the house, and falls asleep on a couch. Alex is forced to leave, and she and Maddy temporarily move into Nate's house.

Alex learns that Basil discharged Paula from the psychiatric hospital. While at her friend's wedding, Alex is overjoyed to learn that she has been accepted for the scholarship, but Sean is enraged that she is deciding to move away with Maddy without asking him.

Sean is fired from his bartending job, comes home drunk, and, after Alex berates him for spending his scarce money on beer, throws a glass jug towards her, which narrowly misses her head. Alex frantically looks for Maddy and discovers her hiding inside a cupboard. They flee the trailer on foot and Alex contacts Regina, asking to be dropped off at the domestic violence shelter. The shelter provides her with free clothes and a new phone. When Regina reads the notebook Alex accidentally left behind in her office, she is impressed with Alex's skill. She puts Alex in contact with a high-powered family lawyer who can ensure she leaves for college with custody of Maddy. Alex makes considerable money cleaning the homes of hoarders, applies for housing and financial aid at Missoula, and buys a used car. She serves Sean with the relocation papers, but Sean refuses to give up custody of Maddy and decides to take the case to court.

After discovering Paula's homelessness, Alex offers for Paula to come with her and Maddy to Missoula, which Paula rejects.

Alex has Paula supervise Sean's visitation session with Maddy. She visits Hank, hoping to use him as a character witness of Sean's abuse, but Hank refuses to testify, empathizing instead with Sean's struggles with alcoholism. After yelling at Maddy and causing her to have a meltdown during their visitation, Sean admits to Alex that his alcoholism is endangering Maddy and making him unfit to be a father. He signs over full custody of Maddy and drops the court case. Paula asks if she can still move to Montana with her, which Alex accepts, but Paula reneges the next day, opting to stay with Micah and encouraging Alex to pursue her future. With nothing left holding her back, Alex and Maddy depart for Missoula.

## Reception

[edit]

### Audience viewership

[edit]

According to Netflix, Maid has been viewed by estimated 67 million households, becoming the streaming service's fourth most-watched show in 2021.[23][24][5] In the streaming rankings for the week of October 4 to 10, Maid doubled its viewing time from the previous week and climbed to second place behind Squid Game with 1.9 billion minutes of viewing time.[25]

Specifically, in the Netflix's Top 10 TV English titles ranking, during its debut week, Maid placed at number two just two days after its release with 61.08 million hours viewed.[26] The following week, it topped the chart and garnered 166.52 million viewing hours.[27] In its third week, it ranked at number two and generated 129.28 million viewing hours.[28] The series remained in the chart for 13 weeks until December 26, 2021.[29]

### Critical response

[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 94% approval rating with an average rating of 8.2/10, based on 49 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Maid takes great care with its sensitive subject matter to craft a drama that is not always easy to watch, but undeniably powerful, grounded by an outstanding performance by Margaret Qualley."[30] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 82 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[1]

Kristen Lopez of IndieWire gave the series an A and wrote, "We need more stories like this and, hands down, Maid deserves all the acclaim it gets."[31] Reviewing the series for Rolling Stone, Alan Sepinwall gave a rating of four out of five stars and said, "Parts of it are deliberately difficult to get through, yet the show is surprisingly watchable given the nature of the story, and at times even light and charming. Much of this is a credit to Qualley, who delivers a movie-star-level performance."[32] Kelly Lawler of USA Today stated, "The drama offers a blistering portrayal of the realities of poverty as seen through the eyes of Alex, who suffers a series of angering and unjust events as she tries to protect herself and her young daughter."[33] Inkoo Kang of The Washington Post commented, "It's the mother-daughter bond – and strain – that shines brightest. Qualley and MacDowell are each other's best scene partners."[34]

Violence researcher Margunn Bjørnholt wrote that the series has received praise for "the way it depicts the violence and for painting a nuanced picture of the violent boyfriend."[35]

The American Film Institute named the series one of the ten best television programs of the year.[10]
