has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tony enclave where the
staff is as clever, witty, outrageous and downright devilish as their
employers. Whoever holds the dirt holds the power, and before the season
is over, illicit affairs will be revealed and deep dark secrets exposed
as we learn the sordid details behind a shocking murder of a beloved
housemaid.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.
I'm a guy, so you'll have to excuse me when I proudly proclaim that
Lifetime's "Devious Maids" is hot! So hot, in fact, that it's almost on
fire (and reportedly, there is a fire somewhere in there within the
first few episodes)! I also don't mean that the actresses are hot -
because in fact they are, but so are the settings, the performances,
the big rich houses, and the various situations that the characters
find themselves in.
Marc Cherry (of "Desperate Housewives" fame) is the creator, and prominent Hollywood actress Eva Longoria (also of the aforementioned "Desperate Housewives" - a show that I'll readily admit that I never watched) is one of the show's key executive producers. Admittedly when I first heard about "Devious Maids" - which is adapted from a popular Mexican TV series called "Ellas son... la alegrÃa del hogar" (which translates from Spanish into English as "They Are the Home's Joy") - I thought it was just more crap to keep us glued to the American idiot box for yet another hour that could be spent doing something else better with our lives and time.
But I'll say, right off the bat, that "Devious Maids" is crap well-worth watching and like the the best television out there, it's highly addictive and entertaining comedy/drama/whodunit murder-mystery that will keep you tuning in week after week for your weekly "Devious Maids" entertainment fix. So in other words: Welcome to your new TV addiction!
