Maid
This show helped me to see that I've been a victim of gaslighting for many years and it is largely responsible for my choice to look for help. I felt fear while watching it because I knew that if anyone in my family knew that I was watching something like this they would be VERY unhappy about it. I watched it in secret, refused to tell anyone the name of what show I was watching, paused whenever anyone entered the room, and tried to only watch while I was alone. I cried many times. I felt seen. I realized for the first time that what I've experienced is real abuse and it's not all in my head, and that there are people and organizations who would want to help someone like me. It's been a few months since I finished the series, but I still remember the line "you should be mad" every time I start to blame myself for the things that have happened. I cannot thank the producers of this show enough for making such an educational, life changing work of art.
