I'm a 3L from California planning to take the Maryland bar in July and I would like to decide which bar prep company I'm going with in the next few days. I'm a fairly good law school test taker, but I am slightly concerned that I haven't learned any Maryland law in law school. I'm mostly considering Themis and Barbri, but I am also curious about Shermer. I will likely be living in either DC or Silver Spring (i.e., not close enough to go to in-person classes in Baltimore) while I prep for the exam.

I wouldn't take any bar prep class that doesn't stream at 2x.

Shemer has incredible stats for the Maryland exam. I didn't use them but I would probably recommend it to an out-of-state taker based on their MD-centric course. I took Themis. It wasn't fabulous but it was okay and the price was good. Let you know in a few days if I passed, haha.
ETA: Passed with 152 scaled on the MBE after completing just about 80% of the course. Still would give Themis only slightly more than a lukewarm review.
