Watching the premiere of “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” Apple TV subscribers may get a distinct sense of déjà vu. Just last month, the streaming service premiered “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” a limited series about a single mother entering the world of virtual sex work via OnlyFans. The premiere of “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed,” which was created by David J. Rosen (“Sugar”) and directed by David Gordon Green (“The Righteous Gemstones”), divides this character in two: Paula (Tatiana Maslany) is a newly divorced mom who’s taken to patronizing a cam boy who goes by Trevor (Brandon Flynn), getting herself off while venting about her custody battle.
