/ stillwatchingnetflix
After fleeing an abusive relationship, a young mother finds a job cleaning houses as she fights to provide for her child and build them a better future.
lost it at “the M stands for Maddy”😭😭 this show was so well done
Me too.
Yes. And the beautiful reference of how the hike will be hard just like their lives have been. Zig zaggy… 😭 but all worth it, for her. 😭 😭
Hope that one day i can say d same ...
loved this show
i love this show
This is an excellent limited series. it proves that making a few bad decisions doesn't mean its the end, hope is always there if you would just push on.
Amen

Yeah with 7 types of government assistance she can be a self made woman
@@michaelryan2416 you gotta do what’s needed to survive and feed your kids while also escaping abuse
@@fatimamagana2686 who made the bad choices ? Who is breeding irresponsibly? Who’s paying the bills?
The ending made me sob, I breathed a sigh of relief when she managed to get out of that trailer and out of that town. I know it’s a fictional character but her determination and love for her daughter is so inspiring to me
It's not a fictional character. This is based on the real life of Stephanie land
You should read her book called Maid. it's such a good read. I'm excited for her new one that just came out. It's called Class.
Totally agree. The scenes when she was depleting and shrinking under his control were unbearable to watch.
@@DoctorMeatDic yess and when she shut down and it was depicted through her slipping into the sofa cracks :(
That bit made me feel a lot, it shows how you disappear and shrink inside yourself when in a toxic relationship. It’s a good analogy for depression too
As a single mom with a one year old, who will also be starting a graduate program in the fall, this show spoke directly to my soul. I live with my cousin and her husband; they just informed me that they will be moving out without me in less than 3 months. I've decided to move into student family housing. I've been on three different forms of government assistance programs thus far (that I've worked really hard to get off of). My parents are just like hers. Father with a new family who helps minimally and bipolar mother who is homeless. My car was nearly totaled a year ago after a hit and run with my newborn in the car. Just the simple hijinks of single motherhood that no one knows about were broadcasted to the general public. For once, I felt completely understood and heard. Thank you to whoever wrote this series. I don't feel so bad about my situation for once.
you are so amazing and it takes a very special person to do this. your child is so lucky to have an amazing parent like you. i wish you the best of luck on your graduate program!!
You are a gem. You are special and one of a kind. You are going to do this! For you and your child. All the best.
Don’t give up ❤️ you are not alone, Ashley.
Keep going and hike that trail with zeal, courage and confidence. Keep coming back to this thread to let us know how you are doing btw
Ashley don't give up...keep going it's not easy but durable. I have been there my children are now grown....keep faith and hope 🙏❤️
My name is Alex. I was around two when I witnessed my father punch my mom square in the face, dropping her by the front door of our apartment. He told me to come with him. Instead, I gave my mom tissues and shook my head no of course. He left and never came back. My mom raised me by herself for the next 16 years, working as a maid, moving from town to town and struggled to even put spam and rice on the table. But she did it. I was raised with the love of two parents in one person. We just finished watching this show together before she leaves me to go back to her home country for good next month and this felt like a love letter to our lives together before we say goodbye.
Absolutely love this show. I hope they keep it as this one season I love the idea that we may not know the rest of her life from here but at least it’s safe to say that she will have a great one from now on no matter what.
This is partially based on Stephanie Land's story and her book called Maid. In real life, Land did actually get to University of Montana. She published her book there, and it got a massive critical acclaim and they made a Netflix show out of it that you just watched. Right now, she is married and has 4 children. Although, neither the show or the book are supposed to be inspiring stories of how some bs determination and will or some dumb nonsense that ads love pushing can lift you over poverty. Stephanie was lucky to get out, and she still writes about how horrific poverty is and advocates for change. She was very frustrated by how horrible her experience was and that nobody should go through that.
Mr. Jodrok, Agreed!
Cried like a baby at this last scene 😓 Wasn’t so sure on the first episode if I’d like this but I’m so glad I kept going, fantastic story and acting.
Exactly this. So glad I watched this. Will stay with me for a very long time. 😢
Moving. I hiked the “M” the same year the author did with her daughter. I have a 3 year old daughter now, and also a maid, working my way through a medical certification. My daughter even has that same mermaid. I have crawled out of a few emotionally abusive relationships myself. Cried every episode. The metaphor of how hard the climb will be, but how it will all be worth it, because it’s all for her 😭 😭 Never related more to a series.
Sending you love ❤️❤️❤️
@@59mmich you are sweet 💕
Not realistic, but a hollywood happy ending manufactured to make money...if hollywood made realistic no one would pay to watch...
This show is a perfect example of a show that leaves you reflecting on the ending but doesn’t need another season
This show changed me. No more abuse.
I think this is an excellent series and recommend that everyone watch it. I've heard that people didn't like the many bad decisions that she made. The only thing I have to say to those people are; Who on this planet hasn't done that? I can almost guarantee you that EVERYONE has made stupid mistakes, things we've done that we would rather forget. However, the constant falls she takes and the raw strength she had to continue and move forward in her life is the most realistic thing about this series, and the most beautiful. Nobody is perfect and things could fall apart in a blink of an eye, but if we can just KEEP GOING, we can also find a way out of the dark. Bravo, Netflix. I will be expecting more great things from you.
Glitch - Well said.
I was raised by my single mom who struggled a lot like Alex. In a way, I was the Maddy of the story. I watched this show and I sobbed because I could see the pain and frustration but also how she tried to shelter her from everything. I am lucky to have experimented that kind of unconditional love. I'll be always grateful of my mom for all her sacrifices
Huge big respect and love to all the single Mums/Mom's out their like your Mum for keeping their babies safe, fed, happy and loved. Love & light to you all - from the UK ❤
A completely new level of appreciation for Margaret Qualley as an actress. I only saw her in “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”…where she made the most of a supporting role and was what I thought was a charming newcomer. I had no idea how good she actually is.
I was fine until "the M stands for Maddy". That's when the tears started. Thank you for this show. More shows like this please.
This broke my heart! Such a good show!
I watched this months ago. But it still stays with me. And the fact that this is a true story makes it have that much more weight. What a masterpiece of a series on Netflix. But also, what a masterpiece of triumph for Stephanie Land and all those that have a similar story to hers ❤.
Finally she s there, with her daughter, open road and opportunities. I have lots of compassion for those women around, especially at a maternity point. I had better luck but I got to know what gashl8ghting and emotional abuse means. Although got rid of it bf things get really serious
I binged watched this show and feel so empty after finishing it I didn’t want it to end.
I think this was the best show I’ve possibly ever seen 😭 I lost my mum nearly 6 months ago - and she was my entire world. She was a single parent and whilst she wasn’t a victim of DV, a lot of the struggles and sacrifices Alex made resonates with the sacrifices my mum would always make to ensure me and my brother had the best life. This show perfectly depicts the power and the deep love of motherhood. It was so well done, I truly felt every moment in this series. And that ending oh my goodness. What a JOURNEY she has been on, how well deserved and incredible must it feel to overcome such hurdles in life and be able to get to the top of that mountain
I cried and cried on last scene, but Maid gave me hope, thank you for showing this beautiful story❤️
I just moved to Canada, life in my country had become rather unlivable. Before leaving I watched this show, got me in tears. Next I watched it in flight, and now often I watch this specific scene in troubling times. What a relief 💜
Such a truly beautiful and quietly inspiring video. I adored the show and hope there is a season 2.
I actually do not. It had a pretty good closing ending just like The end of the f**ing world. It told a story, a pretty good one.
I think this is enough, and it’s a limited series, so there can’t be another season.
Wanna be the cookie A new season would mean America is already a third world country and will soon have an inflation, a loaf of bread would cost 95 dollars.
If there was another season it would definitely have to be a new story and setting because it feels like the stories for all these characters have wrapped and should stay where they are.
Booo! No 2nd season. This was perfect as is.
Omg just finished this series and I was a blubbering sobbing mess at the end so much strength so relatable and raw. Many scenes I couldn’t watch because it was so triggering to my own past experiences but this ending this sealed it all for me.
I weeped watching this closing scene 🥺 this series is like a love letter to survivors, that it is possible…it may be hard, and it may take everything in you, *but it is possible* - to leave an abuser and find hope & freedom - I want to get there 👩🏿
The end made me cry. It was beautiful and inspiring, just seeing how Alex was finally free was touching
I cried about 85% of all screen time. This was amazing and my eyes are quality puffy
Good lord. Haven’t even watched this show and this made me cry
Every episode made me cry 😭🙀
The good thing is it’s a limited series so hopefully this was the end. Hopefully she stays happy and is stable in all aspects !
@@missbarbz7243 The rest of her real life story is pretty cool.
you want to cry? the universe will give you more reasons to cry. This show will just clutter mind with sorrowful thoughts.
Uplifted Life and sad emotions really bring more joy and good fortune?
Seeing her and maddy finally finding a peacefull and long term living situation was so satisfying. Im a man and ive never really been abused in a relationship, but i know what its like to not feel peace at home, like in the scene where she lived in the trailer for like a month without a car. Seeing things finally take a good turn towards the end felt really good.
I hold my tears a whole series... but when i know M is for her daughter's name i couldnt hold my cries again
Beautiful and inspiring real life story 👌❤️
the most excellent limited series i have eVer seen
This show made me learn something and it’s not just that even at our lowest we know that we’re stronger than this we learn from mistakes and we all make them this show was perfect and the “m stand for Maddy” made me burst into happy tears this really is the perfect show to watch and I mean it.
The "M" stands for Maddy 🥺 this whole world is for her 💗
Give Emmy to Margaret.
as a single mom myself who had 2 girls by a man like that, this series really touched my heart! it wraps life as a single mom up perfectly! i love the details included! very realistic! i love it! :')
This show was so heartbreaking and beautiful!
Quelle série magnifique, quelle leçon de vie ! Les acteurs et actrices y sont formidables, il y a tellement d'émotions, de rires et de larmes, formidable ! Bravo !
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this limited series. Andy and Margaret were amazing and I found myself guessing what would happen next throughout. Highly recommended!
Ive been seeing so many clips of this show and needed the final resolution of the seires and this still got me happily crying
I really enjoyed this series. It's the best one I've seen since Queens Gambit
My mother did it with six children, no assistance, no child support. She left a big home and stability, however she gave us love not things and we are all very close. She made it❤️
I'm so sorry she had to grow in such a country. Where are you from? I'm glad you made it, do you have Healthcare over there?
@@dylancobalt7807 this was many years ago before the government got involved in peoples lives. We lived in the US
@lauraoneil6408 oh I'm so sorry. That's the only country in the world without paid parental leave, plus such a dangerous place! She's brave for staying. Not that many countries want Americans, they're not the best
@lauraoneil6408 that's awful, it's such a terrible nation. I'm so sorry you had to live there
@@dylancobalt7807 we loved every minute of our lives. Best years of our life, even my mother who worked hard to raise 6 kids said she wouldn't change a thing. I'd go back to those days in a heartbeat. People were different we were grateful and worked hard. Most nowadays are selfish and self absorbed
I'll miss this show when it's gone.
This was a fantastic and nuanced series. Loved it.
this show was absolutely incredible.
this was nothing short of amazing i def cried at the end ughhhh so good a mothers love and fight to make it!
Such a phenomenal ending to an amazing show
All I kept thinking when I saw this show was keep pushing forward and never ever give up
Great show. Wish there were more episodes following her progress.
Such a good show!
Outstanding series, so well done!
I was honestly looking for a man's opinion on this show lol. It seemed like every comment was from a woman. Considering the subject matter I couldn't help but notice.
got me so emotional and cryin my eyes out during this part lol
Best series I've seen in awhile. Actually the only series I've seen that showcases domestic abuse. A shout out to all the amazing actors. Thank you Stefanie Lang for your inspiration. Margaret Qualley - special. Andie MacDowell - special. Soundtrack- just amazing.
I loved this show.
Amazing show. It also opened my eyes to how damaging subtle abuse can be
This series was soooo fantastic.
one of the best series ever
I love this series.
This scene is so beautiful 🥰😭
I remember watching this show and I couldn’t think of my happiest day. I couldn’t allow myself to dream because I didn’t think I would ever get there
I got teary-eyed watching this, I'm not ashamed to say. It was a most amazing tv show, totally unexpected. The first episode is so depressing, it is beyond words, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. An absolutely incredible series.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS ❤
Mothers are a wonderful thing. Mine picked daffodils in the rain to be able to feed her four kids. Lucky to still have her at 92.
This show made me so emotional
This show is so good. ❤
This show is truly inspiring it’s not like some other crappy show this show has a meaning and a good story that so many people need to hear and to never give up because I swear if they replace this show for some crappy show I will be so mad 😠 cause this is honestly the best show I’ve ever seen
Such a good show. At some points was so frustrating but her character was to fall in love with.
Best scene ever❤
I want season 2... seriously this was the first tv series ever that made me sooo into Netflix
What an amazing show
This girl made so many bad and dumb dicisions and I was so mad about it no 🧢 thinking "is she trying to get homeless and ruine her kids future on purpose?" But I'm glad in the end it worked out a little
What a lovely series, still here in 7th month of 2023
Great show,
NGL this entire show but especially this scene made my eyes water I’ve been telling everyone to watch this show it’s such a gem
Of all the shows that Netflix give multiple season too. This one truly deserve it. Truly inspiring, her in that Dyson 🤣🤣
It’s incredible scene 🌷💔🙏🏽
i SOBBED like a baby watching this show. so so incredible.
Beautiful story of Courage and resilience ❤
A really good show and the perfect ending❤
I’m currently living in a minivan working my way to get a better ride and leaving my city to go be with family. It has been a real big uphill battle. I remember seeing this show awhile ago.
It was so good 💕
no se imaginan cuanto lloré con esta serie... he pasado por cosas peores con mi hijita y sin embargo he logrado salir de millón de inconvenientes! Me sentí tan identificada con ella, al final la vida te pone en el camino personas amables, buenas que te dan una manito para salir del agujero negro y dios las bendiga cada día de su vida!!!
"...and be scared of the life that's inside her. Getting stronger each day. Till it finally reminds her to fight just a little. To bring back the fire in her eyes"
Show hits home. Hopeing to make it to the other side too.
Trying to think of something to write that doesn’t sound super corny, but I can’t. I just wanted to say how much this show inspired me.
It hurts to watch because I know that she's going to cry of exhaustion eventually
Okay I definitely gonna watch it like NOW
Very unusual show. The characters are painted in shades of gray and you can't predict what they will do next. Just like life.
It was beautiful
This show made me feel like if she could do all that (like I know many real people could) I can do anything. I am a privilege person, had a kind of rough childhood (alcoholic parent and the other parent really codependent to them) but I consider myself extremely blessed and actually feel really supported by my family now, and friends. I know I am privileged (money isn't an issue and I have gotten an immense amount of opportunities) but I can't seem to let myself just be, to follow what I want and just do it. My brain does stupid shit that just sucks the life out of me, extrem self criticism, crippling insecurity of making a mistake, worrying about everything and anything that hasn't even happened, just not enjoying the present as a whole, feeling like everything I do is a failing... But people had it way rougher than you and made it through, people with external circumstances that made it seem impossible. Idk this thoughts seem to lose sense when I think people who had no money, no possibilities, no easy way out were able to find that, a way out. Why could I not find how to get myself out of the way when they moved mountains to get there? What I have to do to get there is way simpler than what they had to do.
There is special place for all mothers and then there is one level above where single mother's must be put. It's not easy to raise a child as a single mother or father. Best motivating scene.
That's one of the best endings i have seen in any series!! ❤❤👏👏 Literally, i have no complaints for anything! Every plot and subplot was tied together in the end so perfectly! Hell, even Sean got a happy ending! 😂😂👏👏
I wish at the end they had hinted something about Danielle’s situation. She was amazing and so supportive towards Alex
not enough people talk about this show
i love this show and it inspired to to forge my own path. As a child who grew up in an Emotional DV home this show really helped me a lot
I want to find the song that was playing "we'll get by ". Who can tell me who performed it. So touching.
i cried at this 🙁
It’s the whoooooaaaahh!! At the end for me
I so wish the series would go on. I worked as a maid since i was 10.. and i never felt heard or represented.
1:04 they don't know, what it took to get here.......crying watching it again and again.... everyone has a story to tell
I watched this with my wife 2 year ago when our own daughter was maddies age. I have never been in poverty, or even close, and I know that people can end up in bad situations because of things beyond their control, but this show really made me appreciate how lucky I have been. The thing that made me want to scream at the TV was the mother (brilliant performance by andie mc dowall), because while I know the boyfriend is an alcoholic and violent and useless, the mom seems to treat it all like a joke, and Alex has to spend so much of her time bailing HER out. One thing I've learned form this show is, one of the biggest obstacles to escaping poveryty isn't just not having a support network, its also being surrounded by destructive dysfunctional people who will, intenitonally or not, pull you down with them.
For someone who hasn't experienced it themselves you summed it up pretty well, I grew up in poverty experienced homelessness and some pretty violent and scary situations through my childhood and teens, I am not rich I don't know if I'll ever own my own home and I still live pay check to pay check but everything I do have I've worked really really hard for literally started from the bottom and to some people my life might seem small but my children are safe happy and healthy I'm able to provide everything they need and they will never have to experience the things I did. Getting out of those situations is extremely difficult especially when you are trying to break generational trauma I'm going to keep slugging on and hopefully go back to school when my children are in school ( sort of impossible right now I have triplets and for reasons stated above no support system) I'm doing this for my kids it may sound corny but tv shows like this give me hope that a different life is possible as long as you keep going.
That scene define the whole movie 😭
