Get ready for a “darkly comedic“ time: Your first look at
@appletv 's ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed‘ is here.
@tatianamaslany anchors this new thriller series as Paula, a fact-checker, mom, divorcée, youth soccer coach, and inadvertent criminal investigator who becomes entangled with a camboy, Trevor (played by
@brandonflynn ). When Trevor attempts to scam her, his efforts result in a murder, which itself results in a criminal investigation. From there, Paula is pulled into the crosshairs of a detective's investigation (
@dollyedeleon ), attention from Trevor's older boyfriend (
@murray.bartlett ), and a custody battle with her ex (
@mrjakejohnson ). And all throughout, the tone of ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed‘ veers from heartfelt to hilarious to pulse-pounding.
“I’ve done things that have had a thriller-y feel to them, and I’ve done things that have a comedic feel, but there’s something about this blending that’s really interesting to me,” Maslany tells ELLE. “It really feels like play. All of the takes are different. I have no idea what’s going to end up in the show. [That’s] the best part of it.”
The result is a not-quite-half-hour series from showrunner David J. Rosen (‘Hunters’) and director David Gordon Green (the ‘Halloween’ remakes, ‘The Righteous Gemstones’) that moves through its episodes at a steady, addicting clip, led by an unexpected-but-well-suited ensemble telling an unorthodox but meaningful story.
