Maid - There are many types of violence

How do you start over when everything is against you?

Alex has an alcoholic husband who tends to become violent and has no help from anyone. Not even her mom and dad. So, she sees herself completely alone.

Yet, she is a brave woman. She takes the most challenging decision for any domestic abuse victim: she leaves. She picks her daughter and leaves home. Yet, now, she has no job, no house, and no money. She left with only 18 dollars in her pocket.

You may cry

The bravest of decisions has the most difficult of consequences. It always does, right? That’s why she is so brave. But, as a viewer, it breaks your heart to watch some of the scenes.

At the beginning of the story, Alex doesn’t understand that she is a victim. He never actually hit her. With time and the right help, she comprehends what happened to her, but it doesn’t matter. Not for court, not even for her family. She has no bruises after all. How do you prove psychological abuse? Her partner says he loves her. He seems so sweet in front of everyone else.

This is what hurts the most watching the show. It is not fiction, and it is not just for the show. It is the reality of many victims, especially women. Society, most of the time even their family and friends, believe that they exaggerate. They are being overemotional. How many people need to suffer until society realizes how damaging this behavior is?

Courage and growth

Despite all problems, Alex is a fighter, a true warrior. She has dreams and wishes, and she is tired of seeing them taken away.

It is courage that frees her, but the most beautiful thing to watch throughout the show is her growth. Every step of the way, she learns something, and knowledge is what makes us strong. She finds friends, and she helps others, despite her pain. She realizes that even those who seem to have it all suffer in life.

I think it is a fascinating journey for Alex.

Education and Hope

Education and hope were the first words that came to my mind when I ended the show. This show is very educative and, at the same time, so full of feelings and emotions.

It is very informative about how different kinds of abuse one may face and how damaging they all are. But, most importantly, it talks about how difficult it is to break the cycle.

Yet, in the end, it is about more than that. It is about being brave. It is about fighting for your dreams. It is about the possibility of victory, even under the hardest circumstances. It’s about hope and offers us a beautiful happy ending.

It is a great show, and you should watch it. Totally worth it.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed. This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
