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.

Kelly Connolly The Atlantic The heartbeat of One Day at a Time was its spirited insistence that beauty can thrive alongside pain. The series blended multicam-sitcom laughs with a fearless willingness to tackle heavy social issues. Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Monica Castillo Remezcla Of the many issues and subjects One Day at a Time explores like mental health, relationships, and identity, it's great to see forgiveness explored in the mix. Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Lili Loofbourow Slate The show frequently smuggles some growth into its longer arcs, even when they're built by those familiar resets. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Kate Gardner The Mary Sue The charming, winning sitcom works as both a hilarious family story and a vehicle for social commentary and never once sacrifices an iota of heart to convey the message. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Once again, One Day At a Time proves why it belongs in the conversation for the very best programs on television today. Rated: 4/4 Feb 17, 2019 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast These are heavy things, but they're dealt with joy, care, and humor. Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Anna K I continue to love this show. :) The characters feel so real and watching them working through their issues and struggles is very uplifting. ODAAT continues to send a very positive message in a fun and witty way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Black B Para mi está fue la temporada que mas me a gustado hasta ahora, lo mejor de la serie es la abuelita y aquí demuestran el peso emocional que puede llevar ella en toda la serie, pero no me sigue divirtiendo la serie, pues que sea un humor muy estadounidense y ese sea el motivo por el cual no me llega a convencer la serie pero aun así no me llego a encariñar por completo con los personajes la única excepción a esto es con la abuelita y Schneider, ya que nos muestras sus mejores fases de personaje aquí, abuelita con su casi despedida y Schneider con sus problemas parentales y su recaída con las drogas que nos muestran una nueva cara de el que me encanto, no podría decir que está bien la temporada porque no es que me haya gustado o mínimo divertido un poco pero aun así creo que hay uno que otro episodio aquí que vale la pena ver. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review conner k My favorite tv show. It's criminal Netflix decided to cancel it. This show discusses so many important topics. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Nycolle V Temporada inovadora, tratando de problemas sociais e pessoais muito bem, como sempre. As relações são exploradas e passam credibilidade, parte porque o elenco cria esse elo entre os personagens e parte porque o roteiro trabalha muito bem os relacionamentos. A série não é repetitiva, é criativa e engraçada, e transmite exatamente o que quer passar ao telespectador, desde críticas sociais a emoções sentidas pelos personagens que amamos! 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 A good mix of funny, emotional and relatable. Deals with some very sensitive subjects in a very respectful manner Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
