Devious Maids - Panni sporchi a Beverly Hills

I am completely hooked on this series. It is well worth a watch. Starts off strong and keeps getting stronger. The drama gets more intense and much more interesting, and while it does, a mystery is being solved. I do think that the controversy surrounding this show is a bit ignorant. People think, "Oh, why do all the maids have to be Latina?" like as if it's really trying to exaggerate the fact that "all maids are Latinas" or vice versa, or the fact that all Latina women can only land stereotypical roles like being a maid. Have we not grown from thinking this way? Can we not just enjoy the fact that they have a show, with an all Latina cast, that is very enjoyable to watch? I think we have all risen from the ignorant, one-sided thinking of "all Latinas are maids"...or at least most us should have. This is a fun show to watch and follow. It shows that Latina women, even with being a maid, can be devious, have another side to them, have excitement in their life. They are not your Latina "stereotypical" maids. This show breaks the ties from your "stereotypical" Latina maid, it helps you realize that there are all different types of Latina women, and different types of maids. I'm pretty sure people don't think of all French maids as White, blonde women with short uniforms that always carry a feather duster around, so why not help break away the "stereotypical" Latina maids thought process by having a show that does just that. These characters have great minds and it's great to see a show with more than just only white people as the main cast (no offense). It's a nice, new change of pace. Why can't we all be happy that Latinas are getting more recognition, they are ruling a whole TV series in a "White-dominate" Hollywood. Yes, there are many multi-cultural actors and actresses in Hollywood, but have you seen a show where the main cast are all one culture that is not "White", or a movie? People have also commented "why can't they be lawyers or doctors, why do they have to be maids"? So only doctors and lawyers can be devious, be intelligent and have interesting lives? Are maids not allowed to have these personalities and traits too? Are maids only supposed to clean and that's all there is to them? This show is breaking boundaries. It shows Latinas have all different types of struggles and problems, not just the "cross the border, get a job, find a home and hope you don't get deported" struggle that every other show depicts. Why do we always have to find some type of controversy involving everything? All of these actresses have been successful in various roles that aren't maids, so how is this showing that Latina actresses can only land stereotypical roles? Watch this show with interest, not skepticism on whether or not this show is "racist". I highly enjoy it and hopefully, you will too. I will be following this show to the end, because I love the show, the script, and the plot, whether or not the cast is all White or all Latina.

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.

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.

The series ended at very bad timing. All 4 seasons are very good not a single episode is boring. I dont even know why they cancelled this show.it has lot more to give yet.All 4 maids are doing their job perfectly.Evelyn and adrian powell are my fav character.I hope this serious come backs.

If you love desperate housewives you will Love this show. I wish that the show would of had a true ending( it was cancelled) so by the time you reach season four, the show ends so abruptly which means: you have all of these questions left unanswered. It's just unfortunate for a show with good ratings got cancelled.
