Maid, streaming on Netflix
Beautiful writing and acting characterize what might otherwise feel like a serialized Lifetime movie in Maid. A young mother escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to find a way to care for herself and her daughter, both practically and psychologically, as she tries to heal her own childhood traumas. This slow-burn isn’t making it into the Netflix Top 10 like some flashier or more violent selections, but it is exceptionally good, and worth every minute of your time.

Ghosts, airing Thursdays at 9pm on CBS
If you’re looking for something less serious, Ghosts is a charming dark comedy about a couple who inherit a mansion that is full of ghosts who don’t want their home invaded by people. While the concept might seem a little kitschy, the show is genuinely funny and worth some attention. It is an Americanized version of a British comedy, which has proven to be a formula that works, but Ghosts may have a somewhat narrower audience than The Office.
