Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Sugar or Tell Me Lies, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
4 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 43 minutes, about 35 hours in all.
What might put you off
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

The series centers on four Latina maids working in the homes of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families, and a newcomer who made it personal after a maid was murdered and determined to uncover the truth behind her demise, and in the process become an ally in their lives.
