The overall effect is pleasantly unsettling, reminding us of all the many ways people might be watching. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture May 28
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed can’t rely on one crucial piece of information to drive all of its suspense; instead, it goes the much more challenging route of giving everyone as much information as possible. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) May 28
It’s chaos, but it’s managed chaos. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed never loses the many threads it’s weaving. That confidence and competence is rare in a story with so many parts. Go to Full Review Kristen Meinzer Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) 4d
I loved that [the series] was fast paced. I loved that it was repulsive. I loved that it was so full of surprises. Go to Full Review Allyson Johnson The Playlist 4d

Roger R. @geek-geek 7h Solid thriller that is well written, acted, and paced. Won’t change your life but is entertaining for its roller coaster style. See more Cash A @RT43804345 10h Really enjoying this show. Tatiana Maslany as the main protagonist is excellent as always. Some really good characters and performances here. See more Vanessa R @RT39407246 21h I’m already loving this tv show so much See more Mallory K. @RT98201626 1d Dark, sexy, hilarious and bonkers from the very first scene. Writing, acting, editing, sound and music all perfect! Dialogue is classic David J Rosen! Surprisingly tender parenting moments as well as terrifying murdery stuff! Don’t miss out on this one. See more carlos D @dimascarlos 2d muy entretenida y emocionante. See more Jeff T @RT66864399 2d I really wanted to like this but just couldn't. The writing is lazy and the main character is so unintelligent and annoying. For the story to work it requires the police to be completely inept at their jobs and the main character to deny her instinct as a human being and a mother. When you have to dumb down your characters for your story to work, its sloppy writing. This makes it not worth my time. See more Read all reviews
