‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ Cast & EPs Unpack Apple TV’s Propulsive Dark Comedy About A Single Mom Caught In The Crosshairs Of A Grisly Crime

Apple TV has, throughout the years, cemented itself as a platform of curiosities, offering televisual projects that resist easy genre categorization. David J. Rosen‘s Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, starring Tatiana Maslany, is no exception, following a single mom fighting for custody when her life is upended by being a witness to a murder.

Or so she thinks.

In the series, Maslany’s Paula, a fact-checker for a reputable news organization, can count her simple pleasures on one hand, squeezed by her demanding boss, equally demanding ex-husband and PTA responsibilities. Between peewee soccer games and assignments, she squeezes in an hour of intimacy with a cam boy named Trevor (Brendan Flynn), with whom she’s grown inordinately close. When one of their calls is interrupted by a break-in and abduction, she immediately phones the police, only to be told that what she saw was an elaborate hoax to extort her. But when she finds Trevor’s body at the end of the pilot episode, it becomes clear larger forces are at play.
