Where to watch 'Maid'? Release date, trailer, and all about Netflix series

A comedy-drama with a heartbreaking portrait of poverty, Netflix's forthcoming miniseries, Maid, is as real as it gets when it comes to being homeless with a depleted bank account. A reality check of how society traps people in poverty, the series is quite an accurate depiction of how legal and governmental systems fail people, especially struggling young mothers.

The series is based on the 2019 New York Times bestselling memoir by Stephanie Land, "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive", who shared an up-close experience of her grueling life as a domestic worker. The story revolves around Alex, a single mother turned houseworker, escaping an abusive marriage and working towards providing a better life for her daughter, Maddy. A gritty yet genuine investigation of motherhood, Maid is definitely worth a watch.

Here's everything viewers need to know about Netflix's Maid.
