The overall effect is pleasantly unsettling, reminding us of all the many ways people might be watching. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture May 28
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed can’t rely on one crucial piece of information to drive all of its suspense; instead, it goes the much more challenging route of giving everyone as much information as possible. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) May 28
It’s chaos, but it’s managed chaos. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed never loses the many threads it’s weaving. That confidence and competence is rare in a story with so many parts. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Radio Times 1d
2/5
If this is less than the sum of its parts, though, many of the parts are pretty good. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 2d
An utterly delicious thriller with interesting characters, an effectively circuitous plot, fast pacing, engaging comic undertones and terrific writing, “Maximum Pleasure” will grab you from the first moment. Go to Full Review Kristen Meinzer Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Jun 1

Ivette G. @Ivettecita 2h The show isn’t perfect, but Tatiana Maslany’s performance is! See more Lori L @Peppermintloz 1d Funny show, with an interesting plot. Really original compared to all the crap streaming these days. Good performances by everyone in the cast so far (I’m on episode five). See more Harriett S @RT56809332 2d Watched the first four episodes and I'm really enjoying it. The story keeps throwing surprises at you, and Tatiana Maslany is fantastic in the lead role. It mixes dark humor, mystery, and tension much better than I expected. See more Megan I @MeggyP 2d Very likable show and Tatiana is great. I’m just not buying the major plot. See more Randy T @R.Christopher 4d "You’re being selfish by wanting to go there….." - Main character "We’re not going because I don’t want to go" - the same character literally 2 lines of dialogue later. This show suffers from low-tier plot development, unbelievable motivations, and unlikable characters. I’m sure the ladies love the boss-babe independence and universally-poor female decision making. Otherwise a great show for the modern audience. See more Alex B. @Aeneas.formosus 5d The show was surprisingly great! I really wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was with all the plot twists!
