The shows tells the story of five Latina maids with ambition and dreams of their own work for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills, and how they are affected when one of their friends, Flora, is murdered for knowing a secret.
Although it's not as innovative as either one, it gets the blend of drama and self-parodying comedy right. Without getting too dark or too complex, the central murder mystery provides enough incentive to keep us tuning in.
Devious Maids is a great idea for a series, and not only because the major characters are Latinas (which makes it groundbreaking) and the actresses playing them superb.
The tone of Devious Maids manages to be not-so-subtly racist, classist, and sexist. (The men are either clods or cads.) Which would be easier to forgive if the plot weren't so predictable.
Rooting for the housekeepers to teach these awful people a lesson is one good reason to watch Devious Maids. But so is getting to meet all these interesting, likable Latina women.
Devious Maids is afflicted with a constant and oft-dippy soundtrack that sounds like what you might hear at an Idaho Mexican restaurant run by a gringo named Herb Tuber.
