“One Day at a Time” is a show that effortlessly weaves humor with heart, engaging viewers in a genuine and impactful way.
The characters feel like old friends you can't help but root for. The way they navigate complex issues like mental illness, immigration, racism, and the complexities of identity through the lens of a Cuban-American family—with wit and warmth—is nothing short of captivating.
What’s truly spectacular is how One Day at a Time showcases the
intersectionality of Elena's identity. As a confident and outspoken
young woman navigating her queer identity and activism, she learns to
see gender as a spectrum rather than a binary construct, allowing her to
be more open-minded and accepting of others. And the unwavering support
she receives from her family, especially her fabulous grandmother Lydia?
Pure gold.
P.S. I personally love my design of the show title. I think it
freshens up the plain style they originally had.
