Alex leaves a difficult situation with her partner and wants a better life with her youn daughter.

Another wrote: “Maid on Netflix... is possibly one of the most important series in history. Yep. I said it.

“Why is talking about domestic violence so important? It's important because even though women are the victims, domestic violence carries this terrible stigma even in 2021.

"It's important because abusers are often publicly great guys. The victim’s family loves them and they will often defend the abuser, leaving the victim without a support system."

She continued: "This series is important because women leaving an abusers often have children and no income outside of the abusers, leaving them isolated and financially bereft.

"This series is important because it deals with the realistic nightmare challenges of navigating the social services system, subsidised daycare and housing.

“This series shows all of these things masterfully which makes it a real gem.”
