If you want to watch a show that tackles many of the same issues addressed in Maid, but that's gentler in its storytelling, then try Jane the Virgin. This warm series about a young woman who is accidentally artificially inseminated at a routine gynecology appointment features intergenerational stories about the bonds between mothers and daughters (and grandmothers and granddaughters). It also touches on class inequality and showcases the story of a young woman chasing her dream of becoming a writer, even after unexpectedly becoming a mother.
