Well, they only had to remake a jillion TV shows from yesteryear to finally get one exactly, perfectly right. Not only is Netflix’s reimagined “One Day at a Time” a joy to watch, it’s also the first time in many years that a multicamera sitcom (the kind filmed on a set with studio-audience laughter) has seemed so instinctively comfortable in its own skin.
This is the sort of series that makes difficult things seem easy, so easy that you often don’t realize how artful it is until you think back on it.

I loved this show. I thought, despite it was a remake of an old tv show, it was witty, fresh, up to date and had a fascinating dynamic between all the characters, especially Justina Machado and Rita Moreno. It was also unafraid of tackling some big topics which I hope they can develop in the next series. Definitely one to watch! (I binged it in about 3 days...)

SEASON 1
What could be predictable in its efforts to be topical, though, yields an abundance of pleasant surprises. That includes stretching out the party planning over the entire 13-episode season, and plenty of heartfelt moments, such as Penelope's tearful monologue about the strain of being a single mom, which is real and touching.
Not perfect, but pretty darned good, and Moreno and Machado are a formidable comedy team indeed.
It feels even better that the new One Day is so good, and so vital--a throwback to an earlier era that also feels like it absolutely belongs in this one. ... Lydia winds up occupying a lot of the space that Schneider did in the original, which leaves the new hipster iteration a bit adrift. Grinnell is amiable and has his moments, but Schneider’s among the new version’s thinner characters.
When it comes to One Day at a Time, it’s best to go moment to moment. You might get hooked.
The show is nicely written, but just that, and the performances are almost universally engaging. The exception to that is the performance that kicks the whole reboot up several notches: Rita Moreno’s.
This show is incredible. It's funny, warm, and honest. It made me cry on more than one occasion. To me, that's a sign of great acting and great writing. It was not at all what I expected but I will tell you it's EVEN BETTER than I could have imagined. I can't wait until the next season. As a proud Latina, I'm happy to report "Netflix: you hit the mark and then some!"

SEASON 1
The series begins well, but for me i think it's too much abusive the way they want to exposed society problems. They did excellent critics in a good way, but you fell tired of watch them every episode. However, the series is funny, familiar and can live for a much time.

SEASON 1
As a latina I think this sitcom fails to portray life in day to day world. I really think it just contributes to stupid stereotypes that don't apply even to people who live in latin american countries. I lived in the us when I was a kid with a very big latino community and this show doesn't come close to what it was like.
I think it takes itself more serious than it should because it doesn't say anything new in a fresh or original way

SEASON 1
A reimagining of Norman Lear's One Day at a Time is lacking all the sweetness, sass and the humour of the original. This version is female, Cuban and current left issues heavy-handed. The only thing it I is missing his a gender twisted character, but given enough time the young son will be turned into one. All the things that make terrible comedy are present to ruin One Day at a Time.
