And now people couldn't stop banging on about Maid, a 10-episode drama available to binge-watch on Netflix now.
One person asked: "Please recommend any good gripping limited series on Netflix. As most of the series have a good start and as they progress they get deviation. How is the Burroughs is it good to watch?"
Of course there were many suggestions but one of the most popular was for the American drama created by Molly Smith Metzler.
It was inspired by Stephanie Land's memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, where it focuses on a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to provide for her daughter by getting a job cleaning houses.

One said: "It's a fantastic short series. It's one of the best I've seen on Netflix." While another added: "I second this, incredible show."
A third commented: "The emotions! Best thing to ever come out of Netflix." And a fourth chimed in: "I agree. I just rewatched and it was even better the second viewing!"
