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 Aaron Pruner CNET Jun 24
5/5
It's breezy, but also brutal. Hilarious, but also horrific. And since each episode runs 30-40 minutes, it's a perfect little summertime binge. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Jun 23
It sticks the landing through the end, and Maslany keeps you watching … even though you’ll want to yell at the screen every time she makes a new risky decision Go to Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Jun 17

Slater O @RT57780680 2d Absolutely fantastic show that keeps you engaged and entertained. Every time you think you figure it out, it pivots. See more Rob H @RT62757459 3d A really fun watch, that you can’t wait to see what happens next. Not a cerebral thriller, just good fun entertainment with twists and turns. I really hope they get a second season and I’m frustrated that Apple did not promote as much as their other shows. See more Smith F @CSmith 3d So good! Can’t wait for a second season! See more brett M @bretthi 3d Started interesting, but just too goofy, and the killer is not intimidating like they want you to believe. Just boring! See more Ivan F @Neogrey 4d It started out quite entertaining and fresh, but then something hapoend mid-season and the show went spiralling down. I understand the need to have humor and Jones but Rudy and Geri characters are unbearable. Tatiana does a superb dramatic role, much like her dark character(s) in Orphan Black and Murray Bartlett is also very convincing villain. After episode 5 the script becomes a mess and I'm probably skip the rest of it. See more Lawanda G @Prettylowe 4d Not quite maximum but it's good, harmless fun. See more Read all reviews
