devious maids

Last Thursday in English class we saw the first episode of a new series (at least new for me) called devious maids. It is directed by Eva Longoria, the actress famous (in part) for acting in Desperate housewifes. 

It is about (as you can imagine) the life of several maids serving in extraordinary mansions to wealthy people. In this first episode we meet Marisol, Carmen, Zoila and Rosie having their first (well, for some of them it is not their very first) encounters with their "kind" employers. 

I found it really funny and amusing, the actors aren't difficult to understand (in O.V, for a spanish speaker such as me) due to their latin origin but also the american ones have clear accent and diction. It is intersting to see how rich can some people be, but also (and the most important) to see how they treat their employees, in many cases immigrant people with a ridiculous salary and with family difficulties that do not give a brick to them (the employers).
