The overall effect is pleasantly unsettling, reminding us of all the many ways people might be watching. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture May 28
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed can’t rely on one crucial piece of information to drive all of its suspense; instead, it goes the much more challenging route of giving everyone as much information as possible. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) May 28
It’s chaos, but it’s managed chaos. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed never loses the many threads it’s weaving. That confidence and competence is rare in a story with so many parts. Go to Full Review David Tusing The National (UAE) Aug 13
4.5/5
Sharply written, consistently funny and packed with enough twists to keep viewers guessing, while never losing sight of the emotional stakes, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is a smart examination of modern anxieties. Go to Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres Aug 11
2.5/4
Even within the conventions of the most popular television genres, imagination is possible. This series is proof of that. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review David Knox TV Tonight AU Jul 22

While my pleasure wasn’t quite maintained at maximum levels, it was sufficiently high that I don’t need to draw upon the guarantee for a streaming refund. And neither will you. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Anthony F @anthonyfares 1d Tatiana Maslany did the acting of her life here. Not because this is an Apple TV series, but because I feel like I want to truly believe Paola is just playing a real person on the screen. See more Peter L @Peter717 2d Initially very engaging and well written. It does go a little off the tracks by the last three episodes and ending feels a little too convenient. Cast is excellent. Unlike shows such as Widow’s Bay in which characters and story lines are so intriguing I have absolutely no interest in watching season 2.of Maximum Pleasure. Im maxed out. See more Sherrie M @Sherrie493 2d Such an easy binge. It's funny without trying too hard, the episodes move quickly, and Tatiana Maslany is fantastic. See more Ila C @caldy 5d Really fun and surprisingly easy to binge. The episodes are short, the story keeps moving, and I was constantly curious about what was going to happen next. Nothing groundbreaking, but sometimes you just want something entertaining. See more Roxanne A @RT56789032190571 Aug 29 I enjoyed this.. lots of twists and turns and it kept me wanting more. See more Lula K @lulalala Aug 24 It was really fun, gave me season 1 Friends and Neighbors vibe. See more Read all reviews
