	Author	Review
United States	Judy Berman Time	"[A] poignant, layered and persuasive drama (...) [Unlike] so many other generic dramas about rural poverty, the show is grounded in a genuine sense of place"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Washington Post	"'Maid' is most compelling as a tale of healing and self-discovery (...) It’s the mother-daughter bond — and strain — that shines brightest. Qualley and MacDowell are each other’s best scene partners"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"This is Qualley’s show, and her performance anchors us even when the show seems to spin its wheels"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"'Maid' may fall short as a cultural study, but regarded as an intimate personal story, it’s a triumph"	POS
United States	Candice Frederick The Wrap	"MacDowell delivers one of her most fascinating performances in recent years (...) The drama really shines when it relaxes and shows the delicate relationship between a mother and daughter"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"The detail, the tenderness, the authenticity, the brilliant performances make the whole thing both a compelling drama and a potent testimony to the suffering of too many (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[It] can be a frustrating experience, sometimes moving and convincing, sometimes scattered and trite"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Qualley is grounded and brilliant, finding grace notes of beauty that center everything around her in this series that I suspect will garner a loyal, tear-filled audience"	POS
United States	Katherine Smith Paste Magazine	"[It] calls for honest clarity on the state of living in this country while poor (...) Fragility permeates the show in [a painfully beautiful way]"	POS
United States	Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"We need more stories like this and, hands down, 'Maid' deserves all the acclaim it gets."	POS
Australia	Wenlei Ma News	"[It] isn’t an overwrought or melodramatic series, and it’s not naïve or idealistic. It deals with the hardship of female poverty with a straight approach"	POS
United States	Jordan Russell Lyon Ready Steady Cut	"A show in which you can’t help but root for the lead character. Emotional with well-written episodes and a fanatic performance by all of the cast and crew involved (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"'Maid' shines a warm, personal light on all this while telling a story that’s enlightening and entertaining."	POS
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"Like so much in 'Maid', you don’t just observe what’s happening to [the characters]. You feel like you’re in it right along with them."	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"Because of Qualley’s Emmy-worthy performance, 'Maid' has the potential to be one of the more satisfying shows to watch in 2021."	POS
United States	Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"'Maid' is an undeniably poignant story, built on Qualley’s captivating presence (...) It’s impossible not to be drawn to her performance"	POS
