One Day At A Time Season 2 Manages To Be Better Than The First!

The Good: Very funny (Hilarious, actually!), Socially smart and progressive, Good performances
The Bad: Sitcom contrivances and some character conceits undermine some big moments
The Basics: The second season of One Day At A Time is legitimately funny, uncommonly complicated, and entirely enjoyable to binge on!


There are few shows that I actually get excited about these days. The truth is, there are a lot of bad television shows on the air or works that have run their course, but still churn out episodes. One Day At A Time is not that. So, for the first time in months, I woke up eager to watch a new season of television as it made its debut. One Day At A Time Season Two dropped on Netflix today and I was eager to see the new thirteen-episode season.

Last year, the first season of One Day At A Time (reviewed here!) became one of the most pleasant surprises on television. The show was a reimagining of a long-running sitcom and the first season managed to defy the usual sitcom formula by having more serialized elements. The first season of One Day At A Time introduced the Alvarez family and followed the struggle Elena went through with coming out and preparing for her quinceanera. And, it is worth noting right up front: One Day At A Time did not use a laugh track. After my first season review, I was thrilled when one of the show's executive producer's contacted me directly to set me straight. She informed me that the show did not use a laugh track; the laughter was from a studio audience. Netflix might not say it, but One Day At A Time (at least Season 1) was filmed in front of a live studio audience for the authenticity of the reactions. All appearances in season two are that One Day At A Time continued the trend.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of One Day At A Time Season Two is that it manages to be even better than the first season.

Opening at one of Alex's baseball games, the Alvarez family enthusiastically cheers on Penelope's son, much to his embarassment. At the same time, Elena is mortified when Schneider - who now speaks Spanish better than she does - is mistaken for her father. After a debate on identity (Penelope, Alex, and Elena are natural born U.S. citizens, while Lydia immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba sixty years prior and Schneider is from Canada) that finds the family going out for ice cream as a catharsis, Penelope finds herself failing her nursing classes and eager to give up. After Elena explores the difficulties of her first crush, Penelope begins working at a hospital for her nursing courses where she meets up with Max. Max and Penelope begin a relationship that Penelope wants to keep from her family.

Penelope and Max are able to keep their relationship a secret - which is made difficult by a neighborhood lockdown that occurs when Max is over for a clandestine meeting. While Max makes baby steps with Penelope, Elena finds herself in a full-blown relationship with Syd. After Penelope forces her children to try work - Alex comes to work for a week at the doctor's office and Elena tries to make money off Twitch playing video games - she has the exclusivity conversation with Max. Elena and Syd try to figure out who Alex's secret girlfriend "P" is and the results leave Elena shocked and deeply hurt. When Victor comes to town, the Alvarez family is thrown into turmoil. Elena begins working for Schneider and Lydia confronts her hoarding. And, as their relationships progress, Elena and Syd go to a dance and Max and Penelope try to go away on vacation, but get roped into chaperoning.

One Day At A Time Season Two does both solid character work and presents a story that allows the characters to discuss important social issues with a forwardthinking bias. In fact, as I came to consider the entire second season of One Day At A Time, the two things that robbed the season of perfection were problems on both of those fronts. In the second season of One Day At A Time, Leslie Berkowitz spends the first six episodes making his feelings to Lydia very clear and while that gets dealt with in a satisfactory way in episode seven, the characters treat him terribly in most of the other episodes. Berkowitz is a terribly sad character and most of the others interact with him without any empathy - indeed for some of his lines, the studio audience was apparently made up of psychopaths who laugh at his pain (Stephen Tobolowsky gives the performances of his career in this season of One Day At A Time alternating between sad, loving, and quietly compassionate). But beyond that, Penelope is characterized as a kind character in a show where people talk about real issues and try to exhibit compassion, but she entirely blows off Alex's assertions that he does not want to be called "Papito" any more. By the middle of the season, Alex is calling himself by the nickname that he asserts from the beginning that he has outgrown. Alex's most compelling arc in the second season - where he stands up to his father on behalf of Elena - is not shown on screen. Even worse, Elena's first interaction with Victor in the second season starts out as a powerhouse of acting and character that is undermined for a fast resolution.

On the social activism front, One Day At A Time is unabashedly, delightfully, liberal in its second season, growing organically out of its first season making social commentary. While I was initially put on guard by the teaser to the season premiere - it seemed like the Cuban-American equivalent to Will & Grace where all the jokes are reduced to the one aspect of the character's personalities - the rest of the episode pulls it out with a substantive debate on identity. But even there, One Day At A Time Season Two overloads its arguments, which is ironic given that the show seems very willing to explore subtleties and controversy. In the season premiere, for example, a white man makes a comment about the Alvarez family being loud in a tiny ice cream parlor. Yes, he phrases his request poorly and in terms that indicate there is a possible ethnic component to it, but on the regroup he points out that - objectively - they were being very loud in a confined space and there's no acknowledgement that there is an element of personal responsibility and restraint in social situations where it can be difficult to have an interaction with the people you are with when there are others nearby speaking loudly . . . or chanting ridiculously. In a similar fashion, while One Day At A Time Season Two argues wonderfully for progressive values, it seems unwilling to call b.s. on the social justice warriors - "personal pronouns" ultimately defeat the purpose of pronouns, which is to replace nouns; personal pronouns are just another noun. While the show makes a joke about how confusing they can be, it fails to actually confront that the movements lose credibility when every little snowflake wants the world - and language - to revolve around them. One Day At A Time Season Two does manage to contradict the ridiculous notion that people who were raised in monogamous families and conditioned to that could satisfactorily have a "casual sex relationship."

But then there is what One Day At A Time does right. On the thematic front, the second season of One Day At A Time magnificently tackles mental health issues. Penelope Alvarez is one of the few characters on television who has post-traumatic stress disorder and the show does not shy away from showing how complicated it is to live with that. The ninth episode of the season is a magnificent exploration of how much of a struggle it is to live with mental health issues. That episode shows how difficult it can be for a person suffering with mental health issues to find a healthy balance - the desire to get stability often leads to a premature termination of the things that brought stability - and Justina Machado, Rita Moreno and Todd Grinnell are amazing in the episode. The irony is that after a near-miss on a perfect episode ("What Happened," which came so close!), One Day At A Time Season Two delivers a perfect episode with episode 9!

Outside PTSD, One Day At A Time generally knocks the thematic elements out of the park. Lydia continues to be a loving mother who accepts her daughter and granddaughter in complete opposition to the more conservative stereotypes about people her age who were raised in very conservative countries. When One Day At A Time discusses gun control issues, the fearlessness of the writing that observes that having a gun in the home of a young gay person and a woman with post-traumatic stress is probably a recipe for disaster is a welcome breath of honesty. That type of honesty, in conjunction with fearlessly confronting racism, romantic complications of older people (widows and divorcees), voting rights, and the rising tide of anti-immigrant sentiments in the United States, makes One Day At A Time Season 2 once again defies the expectations of a sitcom as a simplistic medium. Who would have guessed that a Netflix sitcom would manage to discuss ethnic diversity among Cuban-Americans in a way that even Crash did not?!

The borders of theme and character are wonderfully blurred by Syd and Elena's relationship. Syd starts the season as a social commentary character and Elena has some strong principles - like believing that school dances are archaic and patriarchal. But when Syd comes over, sings an adorable song to ask her out, Elena melts in a very human way that seems entirely organic for her character.

On the character front, the Alvarez family is fleshed out through the flashback episode "What Happened" (episode 8), which shows many of the key incidents in Penelope and Victor's life together and the season progesses without a sense of cohesion to it. While the first season was bookended by Elena's quinceanara is more amorphous, though Lydia and Schneider's attempts to become U.S. citizens pop up at the beginning and end of the season.

In the second season of One Day At A Time, the primary characters are:

Penelope - Divorced now from Victor, she is alarmed when Alex gets in trouble for punching another student. She is disappointed when she finds herself failing her nurse practitioner courses and even more shocked when she hooks up with a cute guy she knew in Afghanistan, who is working as an EMT in Echo Park and she sees at work. She is hesitant to let her family know about Max and tries to instill a good work ethic in her children by helping them get jobs. She comes to believe she no longer needs therapy and takes herself off her antidepressents, which leads her to lash out at Schneider. When she discovers the apartment has a garage that she is entitled to, she has a conflict with her mother . . . who has been using it for decades. Max tells her he is in love with her and that leads her to open up emotionally to him,

Elena - Penelope's liberal daughter, she is now sixteen, fighting for every possible cause she can think of and she has her first crush. She is shocked to learn that she is passing for caucasian when someone mistakes Schneider for her father. She discovers that it is a tough thing to be a young lesbian, who has to actually confirm a girl's sexuality instead of just anonymously sniffing her hair. She becomes furious when she learns her grandmother does not vote. She gets involved with a gender non-conformist girl who she is scared to even spend time alone talking with. The two bond over Doctor Who and social activism. When she learns that Victor is in town, she tells him off . . . to a point. She is reluctantly forced to confess to her home-schooled girlfriend that she is not popular at school,

Alex - While at the planetarium, he is verbally attacked and responds by punching a child from another school. He continues to trade upon his youthful good looks. He is mortified when he is seen by classmates see him out at the movies with his mother and how his family cheers at his baseball games. He comes to work at Dr. Berkowitz's office filing to pay for his new sneakers, where he learns to respect how hard his mother works. He goes to the school dance with a ridiculously older looking girl, but is left by her at the dance,

Schneider - The landlord at Penelope's apartment, he is a former addict, who is now obsessed with spinning. He has learned Spanish to better "be a part of the family." He decides to apply for his American citizenship, but spends more time playing video games with Elena instead. He subcontracts out to Elena for fixing things around the apartment building because he is so lazy. He dates a terrible woman who is running for PTA president, but is a consistent and solid friend to Penelope,

Dr. Leslie Berkowitz - He is so encouraging of Penelope's coursework that he leases the next building over to expand his practice. He is still romantically interested in Lydia. He is continually disappointed by how Lydia sees him as a just a friend. He wants to be more than friends with Lydia and he takes advice from Alex on how to make Lydia more interested in him. He helps Penelope out with things like getting her PTA service hours up and even takes dance lessons to impress Lydia,

and Lydia - Penelope's mother, she hurts herself on a tree root, which leads to the revelation that she has never voted! She teaches dance out of the apartment now and picks up some of the slack around the house when Penelope goes to school. Her failure to vote reveals that she is not legally a citizen. She begins studying for her citizenship exam and irks Penelope when she confesses that she has a gun in the house. She begins stalking Dr. Berkowitz at the opera when he starts to put distance between the two of them. She turns out to be a hoarder and she starts outfitting Alex with her dead husband's vintage clothes.

The acting in One Day At A Time Season 2 is pretty wonderful. While Justina Machado leads the cast and manages to prove she has extensive dramatic chops, she is also hilarious in the second season of One Day At A Time. Machado works opposite a very talented cast and seldom breaks (though when she yells "Fubar!" it is hard not to laugh at the joke, as well as her smirk) amid some very funny jokes. Machado and Rita Moreno have amazingly good on-screen chemistry that cements the realism of Penelope and Lydia's relationship.

Outside of the surprise of how much diversity Stephen Tobolowsky brings to the role of Dr. Berkowitz (though it seems he has less on-screen time this season), the real shock on the performance front is Ed Quinn. Quinn plays Max and he is added to a cast that is firing on all cylinders when he arrives. Quinn is more than just a guy who seems like he is cast when Patrick Warburton is unavailable. Quinn seems like he might have been cast initially for his impressive physical presence, but he has great deadpan deliveries and an uncommon sense of comic timing. Quinn and Machado have decent chemistry and they play off one another very well to make the Max and Penelope relationship plausible and delightful to watch. In fact, the final scene Quinn and Machado share in the second season is one of the best of the season.

And One Day At A Time Season 2 exceeds the hopes generated by those who enjoyed the first season. The episodes are funny and complicated and entertaining in a way that uses impressive writing, good direction, and an incredible cast to deliver a truly great season of television.

Wait? What?! I Completely Come Around On One Day At A Time Season One!

The Good: Smartly raises a number of social issues, Good performances, Moments of character
The Bad: Laugh track, Often falls short on resolution
The Basics: One Day At A Time Season One is an unlikely success for Netflix as a surprisingly smart sitcom!


Netflix has a decent, albeit recent, history of producing television shows that have a definite "must watch" quality to them. Recently, however, it seems like the studio is churning out productions at a rate that gives viewers very little time to find - much less enjoy - their original content. Indeed, some of it is being released with such a lack of fanfare that the only way one finds it is by searching the Netflix Originals section of the streaming service. That was how I found the first season of One Day At A Time, which (apparently) was released last Friday for its full thirteen-episode season.

I sat down to One Day At A Time with a sense of excitement and trepidation. The excitement came from the fact that the preview trailer (which I watched in advance of the season) featured Justina Machado prominently. Machado impressed me with her performance on Six Feet Under (reviewed here!), but has been more or less off my radar since. I was excited to see she got work again and was headlining a new show.

My trepidation with watching the first season of One Day At A Time came from the heavy use of the laugh track in the preview trailer. Weren't laugh tracks pretty much dead by now?! Wasn't one of the key selling points of Netflix supposed to be that it was attracting a caliber of viewer (on par with its prime competition, HBO) who was smart enough to be able to laugh at what they found funny, as opposed to being prompted by an idiot laugh track?! My trepidation was deepened when, in doing the most basic prep work for the review, I learned that One Day At A Time was simply a remake of a 1970s sitcom.

The thing is, despite how truly terrible the laugh track is in One Day At A Time, the first season of One Day At A Time is high on charm, subversively smart, and develops far better than one might expect from what initially appears as a TGIF reject. After an initial sense of dismay over the resolution to the first couple of episodes and the predictable nature of the resolutions, One Day At A Time starts to hit a stride that becomes wonderfully more complex than it began!

Penelope is a veteran of the U.S.'s war in Afghanistan, who is raising her two children alone, with her mother in Echo Park, California. Penelope works as a nurse in Dr. Berkowitz's office and is struggling to keep a level head while suffering from ptsd. While Penelope fights with her daughter, Elena, about having her quinceanera, and her son, Alex, about his desire to spend a lot of money on shoes, she struggles with depression. While Penelope's mother, Lydia, undermines her by cooking and fighting for Elena's quinceanera, Penelope gets on anti-depressants and keeps her house in order.

Penelope deals with things like an aggressive co-worker, Scott, and quits in a rage when his sexism pushes her over the edge. After getting her job back, Penelope confronts Lydia over her exerting more influence over her family than she is comfortable with. She begins dating and throws a birthday party for her boss. The family car dies, necessitating her buying a new one. That puts her in touch with another veteran and gets her into therapy. Schneider falls in love with Lydia's backstory, Elena gets into a prestigious educational program, and Alex tries to make a student film.

One Day At A Time pulls its punches and works too hard within the traditional sitcom format. The latter argument is certainly tied to the laugh track and use of the audience noises. For example, when Lydia first appears on screen in the pilot, there is a long hoot and hollering from the audience. The reaction comes solely from the fact that Lydia is played by Rita Moreno, who is an accomplished, great actress. But the hoots and hollers that are rendered when she comes on screen pulls the viewer out of the narrative to acknowledge Rita Moreno, as opposed to having anything to do with the show. It's an archaic television conceit and it plays especially poorly in One Day At A Time. I had to look up Mackenzie Phillips to understand why she was getting similar hoots when she appeared on screen (she was, apparently, in the original Once Day At A Time).

One Day At A Time also suffers because it pulls its punches, most notably with Elena. Elena is a strong feminist character who makes rational arguments and stands up for herself in both a healthy and reasonable way, especially when she takes a stand involving her forced quincinera. She capitulates for no good reason and robs the pilot episode of a satisfying resolution. In fact, the first episode of One Day At A Time leads to two big emotional moments, Penelope's where she realizes that she wants the quinceanera for herself and the other where she recognizes that she needs the anti-depressants. The former moment is unfortunately undermined by Elena capitulating to the party, as opposed to Penelope pushing for the idea that she shouldn't because she no longer needs the validation from her peers about what an amazing job she did as a single mother.

At the other end of the spectrum, after Penelope learns about the pay disparity at her job, she takes a reasonable stand. One Day At A Time is smart enough to present a complex view of how management deals with pay - Scott, for example, is paid more because he asked for it initially and when confronted with it, Dr. Berkowitz quickly comes around to giving Penelope a raise. But when Penelope and Lydia have a conflict with one another over religion, Penelope comes around, as opposed to coming up with a pretty credible, combat-based example of how god probably does not exist. Like so many sitcoms, One Day At A Time resolves with homeostasis, as opposed to audacious or interesting changes that force the story and characters to evolve. Similarly, when the show tackles the immigration issue with Elena's best friend dealing with her family being deported, the show goes for a somewhat ridiculous "everyone should be with their family" paradigm instead of "we help people, we'll take her in." It substantially undermines Penelope's (and the liberal's) argument that people who are doing the right thing, contributing in a positive way, regardless of their legal status, when Penelope essentially deports Carmen.

One Day At A Time is a fairly straightforward sitcom for its thirteen episode first season. It takes until the fourth episode, "A Snowman's Tale" before the very literal and formulaic style is shaken up. It is there that it is revealed that Penelope is completely separated and is going on her first date in twenty years. She tells the story of leading up to the first date with flashbacks and "therapy" sessions between all of the people she tells about her anxieties leading up to the date (as well as a flashback to how Elena met her husband).

On the plus side, One Day At A Time fights very hard to fight against stereotypes and stigmas. Justina Machado is not a stick-figure thin, white, blonde woman and One Day At A Time capitalizes on that. Machado fearlessly delivers lines (and a physical performance) about female facial hair, suffering from depression, and not being a Real Housewives style vacuous woman. She is presented as smart, empowered and hard-working instead of anything fluffy or resembling "playing feminine."

In the first season of One Day At A Time, the core characters are:

Penelope - A strong Cuban-American veteran of the U.S. Army, she is raising her two children without the help of her husband (who is working as a private contractor in Afghanistan). She argues with Elena and keeps Alex on the right path, while still working hard. She fights for equality at work, where her good ideas have gone neglected. Her busy work schedule leads her to reject the idea of going to church one Sunday in order to spend time hiking with her family. To keep things good with her boss, she throws him an impromptu birthday party. She tries to play the "veteran card" when she needs to get a new car and she makes an unlikely new friend in the process. Her shoulder injury from Afghanistan flares up, which forces her to deal with Veteran's Affairs,

Elena - Penelope's liberal daughter, she fights the idea of a patriarchal quinceanera and advocates for a compost can at her private school. When Penelope and Lydia pressure her to have the quinceanera, she passively resists by getting a "D" on her social studies test. She capitulates on the quinceanera in order to be able to show off how strong her single mother is. She is heartbroken when her classmates fail to use her compost pail at school and she gets decked with a hamburger instead. She is socially-active and rejects wearing make-up in order to be her own person. She suddenly discovers that she likes gossiping when Penelope goes on a date and she is asked not to tell anyone. Her best friend, Carmen, freaks her grandmother out and is a goth, which is off-putting to Penelope. She advocates for taking public transportation when the car breaks down in order to reduce the family's carbon footprint. She is offended when she is the diversity candidate for a major summer educational program,

Alex - Penelope and Victor's young son, he is obsessed with looking good and being cute. He is almost constantly glued to his laptop. He speaks Spanish and translates Lydia's snarky remarks for Elena. He is an odd mix of naive and (usually thanks to things Elena has told him) incredibly smart. He bonds with his mother over how weird dating is. He succumbs to peer pressure to steal some of his mother's anti-depressants, but is talked down by Elena. He makes a student film, which ends up revealing something surprising from his grandmother's past,

Schneider - The landlord at Penelope's apartment, he hangs around with Lydia more than he actually repairs problems in the apartment. He inadvertently mansplains and works to update his stories about his nanny to remind himself that she is now his step-mother. He is a womanizer, but friendly with Lydia and protective of Penelope. An illegal Canadian immigrant, he is now legal thanks to his rich father and an army of lawyers,

Dr. Leslie Berkowitz - A competent doctor, who is easily pushed around. He inadvertently pays Scott more than Penelope and he works very hard to avoid conflict. He is highly ethical and when Penelope leaves, he immediately tracks her down to try to make things right with her. He is lonely and estranged from his adult daughter, with whom he struggles to have a relationship. He is willing to go with Penelope to a car dealership as a prop so she is not taken advantage of, but he has to see his daughter. He and Lydia start to develop a relationship, though he clearly wants something more romantic than she wants,

and Lydia - Penelope's mother, she is the protector of the family's Cuban culture . . . though she loves yoga in addition to her salsa dancing. She advocates strongly for Elena to have a quinceanera. She is offended by the idea that Penelope might reject going to church. She always wears make-up and communicates with her dead husband. She is willing to go back to teaching dance in order to help financially contribute to the family. She starts to tell Penelope about her past, especially after Alex starts his film project.

One Day At A Time has a fairly decent cast, led by Justina Machado. Machado illustrates that she has a good sense of comic timing - which is not something she was able to showcase on Six Feet Under. Machado has great on-screen chemistry with both of the performers playing her children and with Rita Moreno. Machado brings a bad-ass quality to the part of Penelope that makes it entirely credible that her character was ex-Army. She also has a pretty amazing poker face for delivering deadpan lines. Well within her established wheelhouse are moments when she performs on her own and arguably one of the most poignant is where she acts opposite a five dollar bill. In the subsequent dialogue that follows, Machado makes expository dialogue seem perfectly real with her passionate delivery.

The seasoned performers in One Day At A Time are predictably amazing. Rita Moreno, while originally used for her celebrity, delivers a number of her lines beautifully tongue-in-cheek. Moreno shows she still has the dance moves that made her famous and is able to sell the over-the-top accent her character speaks with (having heard interviews with Moreno, it is very clearly not her normal speaking pattern). Despite how formulaic the scripts are, Moreno blows away a scene in which Lydia reveals a painful truth to Penelope and her ability to emote in telling a story as she does. Stephen Tobolowsky plays Dr. Berkowitz with a sadness and pathetic quality that is sometimes tough to watch, but he is able to act masterfully. Tobolowsky is able to emote with his eyes and a slumped posture in a way that most younger performers never seem to learn.

The scene stealer for One Day At A Time's first season is Isabella Gomez. Gomez plays Elena and the young actress has a screen presence that is impressive. Gomez holds her own in scenes with Rita Moreno and on her own. Gomez has good deliveries and the ability to emote in ways that most young performers do not. The last time I was this impressed by a young person's acting was seeing Anne Hathaway in her early works. Isabella Gomez has a decent sense of comic timing and delivers all of her character's impassioned, high-minded lines with a level of articulation that makes it entirely believable that Elena holds such enlightened views! Gomez is given a lot to do as Elena - including being a fourteen year-old who is questioning her own sexuality - and One Day At A Time uses Gomez appropriately (without exploiting the young actress, possibly because of Ariel Winter's activism?) and in a way that allows her to show off her talent and range, though in the middle of the season Elena takes on less of mousy appearance.

The first season of One Day At A Time is semi-serialized, with a few elements from each episode carrying over into the next. So, Elena's quinceanera bookends the season, with planning occurring throughout the season, with elements like Dr. Berkowitz and Lydia having a burgeoning relationship and the friendship that develops between Penelope and another former military officer.

One Day At A Time has a rough start, but it is so disarming and it develops so well that the laugh track stops feeling so intrusive and some of the predictable reversals in the last five minutes actually manage to work. The result is a surprise winner for Netflix that actually works!
