Maid does an excellent job of showcasing Alex's complicated relationship with her mother, who has undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder. If you're looking for another show with a nuanced portrayal of an adult child's relationship with a parent who has a mental health condition, then Please Like Me is one of the best ones out there.
