Maid (TV Mini Series) Sea Glass (2021) User Reviews

Much needed character development

[evansjoshyr · 9/10 · 14 October 2021]

This was the moment Sean stopped being an obstacle in Alex's way and started being an actual person. The "sea glass" scene was an unexpectedly heartbreaking moment with a very well written script that made me begin to see Sean's side rather than only seeing Alex's perspective. And his descion at the end only solidified this. Its crazy how one scene can change a hateble character into a sympathetic one if written well.

Alex's mother also receives some character development. She stops just being a "crazy mum" and starts being just another person struggling and even expressing her own insecurites. It's clear her and Alex aren't that close, but they both seem to be trying and that's the important thing. What she did to Alex's room just shows she cares.

A great episode that flesh out the other characters more than the previous episodes.

I never lost custody

Alex finds a deadmaus Alex moves a phallic statue Alex gets Maddy back

Ok, fun fact I learned about the show is that Margaret Qualley is actually the daughter of Andie MacDowell - their real life relationship on screen! I find that really cool. I thought that the role of Paula was fantastic and MacDowell pulled it off really well. She genuinely stole every scene she was in. No wonder why they had such great (dysfunctional) chemistry, perhaps it's reflective of their real relationship. I really felt the amount of paperwork on a personal level. In many cases, government paper forms are genuinely insane. I've witnessed this before first hand and I feel that this episode described it pretty well. Not a huge fan of the sort of hallucination effect because they keep using it but it can be funny.

Interesting thing in this episode is that they started to add more depth to the secondary characters. Sean may be abusive, but has a family history of drug use, which can really screw you up. He is also somewhat remorseful of his actions and shows desire to correct himself. Paula is by far the most unstable and sometimes says nasty things but sort of redeems herself by painting Maddy's room beautifully. So lots of subtle nuances, no black and white characters, which I like. Beginning to enjoy this show more!

Everything is not what it seems ...

The writers did a very good job! It's nice to be surprised sometimes ... How much the public can hate Alex's mother and her boyfriend Sean at first, but this episode definitely changes everything. Revealing their positive qualities makes the viewer understand that one cannot judge a book by the cover alone. The most important thing does not happen on the surface ...

Episode Three - Vidro do Mar

How angry at Alex's mother, how angry at Alex's ex mother-in-law, how angry at Alex's ex.

What a filthy place where Alex cleaned and the other one watched.

Obviously she had no alternative, but I had the courage to let my children live near ex-criminals, sorry guys, I don't believe in redemption, I know that most of the people at Banco de Séries feel sorry for criminals, but I don't believe that they can live in society, especially murderers and rapists, as incredible as it may appear I'm a leftist, but if there was one good thing on the side of former president Bolsonaro it was the "good criminal is a dead criminal" thing, no matter how much with him or Without him it was and continues to be horrible here.

It would be much better to stay in that other place, but unfortunately she doesn't choose.

I already want to see her, her daughter, that funny friend from the previous episode and her friend's children, on a beautiful beach having fun, script, take good care of these people, please.

Episode three of the first season of the Maid Miniseries watched on May 22, 2024.

Rating: 10/10.
