**Score: 1/10 A Talented Actress Marooned in a Beneath-Her Mess** There are bad shows, and then there are shows that make you actively angry because they waste genuine talent. *Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed* is firmly in the latter category.

This show is great. Anyone giving it a 1/10 needs to log off and go outside to touch some grass. Fer fuck's sake, it's an entertaining thriller with a manic protagonist who gets caught up in what at first seems like a simple scam but soon spirals out into some greater conspiracy. Definitely worth a watch and I am definitely seated in anticipation of a second season!
