Devious Maids

I recently started to watch Devious Maids and I have to say that it is actually a really great and entertaining show to watch. This show really does remind me of Desperate Housewives and is created by the same person and Eva Longoria is one of the producers of the show. I would probably say that this show is going to be entertaining to both girls and guys and if you like dramatic/comedy/mystery shows then you should really watch this one. Basically this show is about the lives of these maids that are working for rich family's. I have to say that the series gets a lot better as the episodes go on and I can't wait for season four to start. I would for sure recommend this show!

Five maids,all ambitious in their own ways;four families that employ them-each family has a past and dark secrets and that's fodder for the maids' gossip which will last them a lifetime. When there's a huge star cast,it gives an advantage of adding many twists,episode after episode,thus leaving the audience guessing and wanting more. The creators of this show are well aware of this and they've used it very well to their advantage. It's very entertaining,I'll give it that,but it's quite clichéd too. The pilot sort of picks up from the Desperate housewives' final season-a murder,families harboring secrets,relationships being tested..you get the point. Nevertheless,it's a colorful show(in every way you can imagine) and makes sure you do not yawn,at all. I am not hooked to it,given the known plot spool,but I'd definitely choose it to have a good light time.

Marc Cherry has given us a lot to laugh at over the years from Golden Girls to Desperate Housewives. This new comedy has the DH feel - a group of interesting and endearing ladies, cute comedy and romance with a little murder mystery. All the maids are quite distinctive and their stories are interesting. Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Edy Ganem, Judy Reyes and the still stunning Roselyn Sánchez.

I don't feel a negative stereotyping as some have pointed out. It feels quite sympathetic and glamorous and a positive portrayal than not.

The men play second fiddle like in DH but they are a likable enough bunch. Grant Show of Melrose doesn't look too old yet. Pretty Little Liars fans will recognize Drew Van Acker.

There isn't much to laugh at on TV so I'll take this over some serial killer forensic body parts drama any day.

Good times fun. Anyone should enjoy this show. The only irritating thing is when people spend 3/4 of their review writing about how Latinas are so subjected to stereotypes. Seems to me that everyone enjoys the show & only one person brought it up. Bringing up unnecessary racial remarks are why racism is still a problem. The girls signed up for the show, it's doing well, good luck to them, I enjoy it. Tired of racism. If you see racism in this series then I guess it's you. Well I just tried to submit my statement. Wouldn't go through because you need 10 lines of text. So let it be known that I usually never take this much time to give a show a good rating but, it is definitely worth a watch.

Devious maids is a wonderful black comedy. 3 episodes in the only critiques seem to be that some characters are 2 dimensional and lend themselves to social stereotypes. I would argue that this is a necessary stage in creating social satire. As Marc Cherry is the executive producer, and Eva Longoria a producer (with a degree in Chicane Studies now) I've no doubt the characters will be fleshed out, as Desperate Housewives was. Right now, however, I am just enjoying the dozen of laugh out loud moments each episode provides. I love the plot device of the maids, the female employers, and their spouses--it seems like it will lend itself to more interesting group dynamics then tradition allows. I am looking forward to watching the series unfold!
