This comedy-drama is inspired by Norman Lear's 1975 series of the same name. This time around, the series follows the life of Penelope, a newly single Army veteran, and her Cuban-American family, as they navigate the ups and downs of life. Now a nurse, Penelope is raising two strong-willed children. When faced with challenges, Penelope turns to her "old-school" mother, and her building manager, who has become an invaluable confidant. The series offers a contemporary take on what life looks like in both good and bad times, and how loved ones can help make it all worthwhile.

Melanie McFarland Salon.com It's a heck of a cliffhanger that eventually manifests as an ode to honesty. Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR The cast is divine, the show feels contemporary and smart (its explorations of sexual and gender identity feel particularly profoundly needed), and Rita Moreno can still crack your heart right open. Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Molly Long The New Yorker If the show breathes new life into archetypes, it also succeeds in turning abstract political issues into deeply personal experiences. What more could a sitcom do? Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Simrun Nijjar Mediaversity Reviews Not only does One Day at a Time snatch the winning crown for the most inclusive show at Mediaversity, it blows its competition out of the water. Rated: A+ Aug 18, 2019 Full Review María Garduño Geeks of Color This show is an emotional roller coaster, one where this minute you're crying your eyes out and the next one you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Dec 15, 2018 Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com One Day at a Time has a heartbeat and emotional depth that makes it one of the best series on television.

Anna K Absolute masterpiece with great acting and writing! :) It's wonderful to see how this show approaches some very serious topics without losing its comedy style. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review conner k My favorite tv show. I've watched this series at least 7 times. I love the relationship between Elena and Syd. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Nycolle V É absolutamente maravilhoso assistir uma série de latino americanos como essa, explorando a nossa cultura e mostrando ao mundo que somos mais que apenas pessoas do "mundo subdesenvolvido". Os dramas são explorados com tanto cuidado e preocupação. O roteiro sabe muito bem mixar doses de comédia com os dramas familiares e interpessoais. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/22 Full Review Audience Member love it! easy to walk and i like the spanish phrases once in a while. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member How could a show manage to get even better?
