Netflix's "Maid" Review

I decided to check out the new limited series on Netflix “Maid.” I typically would just breeze right past shows like this because it looked like it would be a “slow” show where it took a long time to get to the point. 

I wrote everything I could to share my thoughts and feelings about the accurate depiction of a single mother, the caregiver role, the human service worker role, domestic violence victim role and the once a recipient of government assistance role. 

Key takeaways in this episode;

What domestic violence is.The cycle of government assistance.What motherhood is really like and the sacrifices we make.Signs of abuse.The characters and their role in "Maid"

Overall this was the most relatable show I have seen. Maybe not in every area, but a lot of Alex’s story reminds me of myself and people I have helped and know personally. 

What I want you to take away from this episode is that there is help if you are or know someone who is a victim of domestic violence, someone who needs mental health help, someone who needs medical, food, financial, housing, employment and legal assistance. 

The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states; “1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc.”  https://ncadv.org/
