Fleeing in the night with Maddy, Alex seeks help from
... More social services and lands a job with Value Maids, only to find her problems are just beginning.LessInspired by Stephanie Land's bestselling memoir, this ten-part miniseries stars Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood) as a single mother on the brink of poverty who turns to housekeeping to make ends meet and provide a better life for her daughter.
Clever, open-eyed depiction of just how difficult it is to break a cycle of abuse. Margaret Qualley is tremendously empathetic (and so, surprisingly, is her IRL mum Andie MacDowell).
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.
Full reviewMany of the performances, including Robinson's Sean, are layered and specific, but none so much as Qualley's.
