Maid is a work of fiction, but the events is based on draw parallels to very real experiences...
On October the 1st, the Original Limited Series Maid dropped onto everyone’s favourite streaming platform, Netflix. It’s the latest drama to take social media by storm, with glowing reviews filling up Twitter. Lauded for it’s brilliant representation of single motherhood and the trials that come along with it, Maid explores what it’s like to live on the poverty line and takes a chillingly close look at emotional abuse - an often overlooked area of domestic violence.
But there are some big differences between Stephanie’s story, and the plot was fictionalised for Netflix. Stephanie wasn’t poor all her life like Alex. She had actually grown up in a middle-class family but just like Alex, she struggled financially - joining several welfare programmes to stay afloat - after having her first child against her boyfriend’s wishes. In both the series and the real story, Stephanie and Alex’s boyfriends had wanted them to terminate the pregnancies.
Throughout the show, she faces obstacles to reaching safety. From an unreliable family to a support system made entirely from friends of her abuser. So far, Netflix has not confirmed whether or not they will commission season two, but given that season one has only just premiered on Netflix that's no surprise.
