The Emmy-nominated show is based on a memoir by Stephanie Land, in which she recounted her six years cleaning for wealthy families in Camano Island, Washington State, where most of her clients never bothered to learn her name.

Viewers have taken to social media to express their excitement at finally getting round to watching the show, which now has a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the show, Margaret Qualley plays Alex, a single mother down on her luck who works as a maid to make ends meet while fighting to keep custody of her daughter

Anika Noni Rose plays Regina, one of Alex's clients who is bossy at first, but develops a soft spot for the cleaner 

The Maid on Netflix is about Land's recollections of her time working as a maid and they are told through the central character, a single mother named Alex, played by Margaret Qualley, who flees her abusive partner and takes refuge in a women's shelter.

Melissa and Joey star Nick Robinson portrays Sean Boyd, Alex's ex-partner and father of their child. The cast also includes Ginny and Georgia's Raymond Ablack, Twilight's Billy Burke and Little Fires Everywhere star Anika Noni Rose. 

Struggling to make ends meet, Alex takes a job as a maid in order to support herself and her daughter - all while battling her former partner to retain custody of their child.

The experiences very closely echo the events of Land's own life; the author comes from a middle-class Alaskan family, however she found herself homeless in her 20s after falling out with her boyfriend.
