The title may oversell the experience a little bit, but not by much. It would be inaccurate to call ”Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” empty calories. Like the sloppy joe, it’s comfort food — and tasty.

4/5

It's a sure-footed and completely bingeable thriller with an edge of unpredictability that holds you doubly fast to your seat. And in Maslany they have the perfect actor to capture Paula's mixture of volatility and focus, intelligence and stubbornness.

For every scene that feels false or unnecessary, there is one that works well; for every plot point that feels ticked off a checklist, something surprising pops up. Maslany is convincing both as victim and detective and she and Wallace play well together.

If you go into Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed with the right mindset, and not look for it to be a true dark comedy, then Maslany’s performance and the complex psychological thriller plot is satisfying.

Tatiana Maslany carries the narrative with a performance that balances charisma, vulnerability, and a touch of eccentricity that perfectly matches the series' volatile tone. [Full review in Spanish]

Tatiana Maslany was excellent! So many great female performances. Dolly de Leon and Kiara HG were amazing too. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

I didn't know anything about this show and had no plans to watch it. I thought the poster looked boring beyond belief. So, after watching the latest ep of Widow Bay (absolutely fantastic show) I wanted something else to watch. Maximum Pleasure was advertised on the main page so I thought why not? It's so good! Better than good. First two eps were excellent. Now I have to wait a week to see what happens next :( So glad I gave it a try. Apple TV killing it!
