3/4

Tatiana Maslany is the acting superpower behind this terrific, twisty crime thriller comedy about parenthood and the freedom to be pervy.

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.

9/10

Tatiana Maslany, Dolly De Leon, and Murray Bartlett lead a brilliant ensemble in the murder-mystery Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. While things could easily fall into overly-serious territory, the show keeps a sense of levity and comedy throughout.

4/5

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is a moreish, exciting new thriller with a brilliant central performance from Tatiana Maslany. Orphan Black fans will not want to miss this.

The logic of that is just this side of Blue Skies-era USA Network programming. But Maslany is so winning, and the pacing so smart that the leap barely registers.

This feels like a movie. Fast, unpredictable and loud. A real antidote to some of the slow shows shows out lately. I'm curious where Murray Bartlett's character goes, and I'm in for the season.

Main character is insufferable and I don't know how anyone can tolerate watching her.

Tatiana is a force from the moment she’s on the screen. LOVE Murray Bartlett in this. And super interesting seeing Jake Johnson in this role. I can’t really stand him, but he’s so good. Looking forward to what the rest of the season has to offer.
