On Kitty's watchlist: Devious Maids


With so many new tv shows every fall and summer it's hard to stick to just a few, so I recently added another one to my watchlist. The creator is Marc Cherry, from Desperate Housewives, so I knew from the start it's gonna be about women, secrets and dark humor.
I watched the other day the pilot from this new show and I'm already hooked, so I feel comfortable enough to recommend it.
It's about 4 maids and their interactions with the families they work for. Of course, from the first episode, the secrets we have to discover are linked with a murder. One of the maids is murdered in strange circumstances by a waiter at a party, but did he really commit the crime? Or were her employers behind it? Her boss used to sleep with her (basically rape her) and his wife was holding a grunge against her.
Marisol (played by Ana Ortiz) is the new maid from the block. She works for the Stappords. The husband is at his second marriage and his young wife feel threatened by the ex. Marisol seems to be more than just a simple maid, and she has secrets on her own.
Rosie is working for a celebrities couple and she tries to bring her son to the US. The woman she works for doesn't give a damn about Rosie's pain and she won't give her a day off so that she can meet with the only lawyer she can afford.
Zoila(Judy Reyes) and her daughter Valentina are working for Genevieve Delatour (Susan Lucci), also a faded actress. Valentina has the hots for Genevieve's son and Zoila is concerned because she knows nothing good cane come out of an affair between them.
And finally Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez) works for Alejandro, a famous Latin singer. Carmen is an aspiring singer too, so she hopes she can convince Alejandro to help her. But his housekeeper and right hand at the same time, Odessa, is determined to make sure no one takes advantage of Alejandro's fame.
So there you have it. it's your usually Marc Cherry mix of mystery,drama and humor,so if you liked Desperate Housewives, give it a try.
