Apple TV+'s Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed follows Paula Sanders, a magazine fact-checker played by Tatiana Maslany, who dives into a murder mystery after a cam-session goes wrong and a body is found.

It’s a meditation on loneliness and connection in the digital age, propelled by Maslany’s performance and a thriller-first approach.
