“Labor of Love” is pleasantly low-key — especially, too, by comparison to the current market leader, “The Bachelor,” which, comes without any of “Labor of Love’s” higher-stakes framework about specifically choosing a co-parent, still manages to treat its machinations as deeply and gravely serious. This seems like the right choice.
