Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeNetflix’s limited series “Maid” was a hit for the streamer, as one of its top ten shows of all time and most-watched limited series ever. Star Margaret Qualley, for one, is amazed at the reception.“Mind blowing,” she tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I mean, it’s so gratifying, truly mind blowing for me.
I just didn’t expect that at all. I don’t really think anyone making it did. We thought it was going to be kind of quiet.
It’s about a woman who’s crying a lot, her daughter, and she’s cleaning homes. Who would imagine that to reach so many households?”But it clearly resonated with viewers. On this episode, we talk to Qualley about making “Maid,” which required her to be in virtually every scene.
Plus, we talk about her bond with her young co-star, Rylea Nevaeh Whittet, and also the treat of getting to work with her mother, Andie MacDowell, who also plays her mom on the show. Listen below: Inspired by Stephanie Land’s memoir “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive,” Netflix’s “Maid” stars Qualley as Alex, a young woman who escapes in the middle of the night, with her young daughter in tow, after her emotionally abusive husband turns violent. To make ends meet, she tries to earn money as a housekeeper, but with a child who needs care, no home of her own and a bureaucractic system stacked against women facing such a predicament, Alex faces setback after setback in trying to find a better life for herself and her daughter.
