One Day at a Time is a remake of the 1975–84 sitcom of the same name, which debuted in January 2017 on Netflix.Like the original series, the remake centers around a divorced mom, Penelope (Justina Machado), raising her two kids, Elena (Isabella Gómez) and Alex (Marcel Ruiz). They live with Penelope's mother, Lydia (Rita Moreno), in an apartment owned by Schneider (Todd Grinnell), and try to navigate the ups and downs of life.While the family in the original show were Italian-Americans, here they are Cuban-Americans. As such, issues of race, ethnicity, and Cuban cultural heritage play a large part, and the series doesn't shy way from addressing other political topics as well. The series was co-created by Gloria Calderón Kellett, who is Cuban-American herself, and is produced by Norman Lear, who developed the original series.The series was canceled by Netflix in March 2019 after three seasons, with them citing low ratings as the reason, but Pop TV picked it up for a fourth season that came out in 2020. This makes One Day at Time the first series to make the jump from a streaming platform to a traditional terrestrial network. The fourth season later aired second-run on CBS beginning in October 2020, reuniting the show with the original's home network. However, following the fourth season, it was cancelled for good.Now has a page in Spanish, ¡Azúcar! | |

| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: In the episode "Strays", Lydia starts suspecting Elena is "queer" because her friend Carmen spends so much time with her. Eventually it turns out Carmen is spending all her time at the Alvarezes' place because her parents have been deported to Mexico and she's homeless. However, in later episodes we find out Elena is indeed gay, though Carmen is just her best friend and straight herself. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Victor, Penelope's estranged husband. When he shows up, he gets along with everyone and seems like he has gotten his life together. Turns out he was lying about stopping drinking and seeking professional help, at which point Penelope kicks him out again. He still stays on good terms with his kids until Elena reveals she's gay, at which point he tells her she is just confused. He still shows up to her quinceañera only to leave right before the father-daughter dance without a word. | |

Standardized Sitcom Housing | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_4413d368 | comment |
Standardized Sitcom Housing: The Alvarez apartment fits this trope pretty nicely, except for one important deviation: the living room is separated into two with a curtain, so that Lydia can have a space of her own. This marks a difference to the typical Anglo-Saxon sitcom family, both in that the grandparent is living with the nuclear family, and that the family isn't affluent enough to get an apartment with an extra room for Lydia. It's actually an exact recreation of the original show's set. | |

Hanging Up on the Grim Reaper: In the season 2 finale, Lydia is in a medically-induced coma after surgery. After all of her family get to have their emotional speeches, she has one herself in a potential dream sequence where Berto comes through her hospital room doors and they dance and converse and expound on family and life for over 5 minutes. He first says that he has come to get her, and at the end offers his hand but actually asks her if it's time. She looks to the sleeping Penelope and says no. | |

Multiple Reference Pun | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_4bc00353 | comment |
Multiple Reference Pun: Elena after getting the handyman job appearing at the door and saying "I'm Butch", referring both to her taking over from the never-seen and implicitly-useless handyman who's named Butch and the fact that she is very soft butch. In at least one Spanish dub, the scene where Lydia is telling Elena to stand up 'straighter' uses the word 'recto' for 'straighter'. Recto, like the English, means straight as well as upright, but here the translation of Lydia saying "be as straight as you can be" is actually "estad tan recto como tu armario" — be as straight/upright as your closet. Elena's closet is probably really straight literally, but really isn't figuratively. The pun would have probably been contrived in English, but checks out pretty well in Spanish. | |

Stop Being Stereotypical: When the family walks in on Lydia teaching Schneider how to salsa, Elena rolls her eyes in exasperation, saying: "All right! I get it! We're Cuban!" Her protest only spurs Penelope and Alex to join in the dance. Alex is pressured into swiping one of Penelope's painkillers to sell on the street, and is chewed out by Elena for almost becoming a cliched Latino drug dealer. | |

| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_6662563a | comment |
Mistaken for Misogynist: In "Bobos and Mamitas," Penelope gets in an argument with her coworker Scott, who is sexist besides generally insufferable, and learns he earns more money than her, driving her to quit in a huff. When Dr. Berkowitz finds Penelope to beg her to stay at the clinic, she demands to know why her wages are smaller. Turns out, it wasn't Berkowitz being sexist, just a doormat; Scott asked him for a raise and he gave it to him. Penelope decides to go back to work after asking Berkowitz for the same pay as Scott plus extra for overtime. | |

Coax Them Out of the Closet | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_68fd2d6c | comment |
Coax Them Out of the Closet: Subverted. Out-and-proud Elena suspects her cousin Pilar is a lesbian, but no one in the family's ever talked about it. When her mother confirms the entire family's quietly suspected that Pilar is gay for awhile, Elena decides to try and talk to her about it and get her to come out. It turns out Pilar's not only gay, she's been out of the closet for ages, and she's actually married to a woman. And the whole family was at the wedding. They just never seem to get it through their heads that she's gay, and the ones that understand it don't feel comfortable discussing it. Elena finds this homophobic, but Pilar shrugs it off; she knows the family loves her, and they're all welcoming to her wife, so she's happy. | |

Meaningful Echo: At the end of the pilot, Penelope vents to her mom about how she misses having someone there to hold her and say, "I got you", which Lydia does. In the season 1 finale, after Victor walks out of Elena's quinceañera just before the father-daughter dance, Penelope goes up to Elena and takes his place, saying the same thing. | |

Casting Gag | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Alan Ruck's appearance as Schneider's father allows him to play essentially the inverse of his Succession character. On said show, Ruck plays Connor Roy, the Cloudcuckoolander eldest son to an emotionally-abusive businessman (much like Schneider is); here he plays Lawrence Schneider, who mistreats his son (emotionally neglecting him, refusing to take his addiction issues seriously), has married and divorced several different women, and essentially cuts his son from the family for disagreeing with a business decision (all traits that easily apply to Logan Roy). | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: In the episode "The Death of Mrs. Resnick", we finally find out why Penelope broke up Victor, her veteran husband: he had a serious case of PTSD, refused to get any help for it, and started acting violently. In "Hurricane Victor", he shows up in person and tells Penelope he's finally getting some professional help, but that turns out to be a lie. Penelope herself tries to go off her anti-depressants in Season 2, resulting in a spiral resembling bipolar disorder where she ends up admitting she needs them after hearing a recording of a possibly suicidal message. | |

The Unfavorite: It's basically a running gag that Elena is this, especially when it comes to Lydia, but it's always Played for Laughs. In "Hermanos," Penelope figures she's this as Lydia praises her son Tito as near perfect despite how he's distant from the family. Over a dinner, Penelope realizes Tito felt he was the unfavorite as Lydia would always go on about Penelope more and that's why he's been distant from them. | |

Cultural Translation | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: As a popular Latin-American story, it is an obvious candidate for multiple popular Spanish dubs... except, in Spanish how are they going to make jokes about Elena not knowing Spanish? In two ways: 1. instead make fun of her not knowing Cuban slang and parts of its culture, 2. when super necessary (though more common for making jokes at Lydia not knowing English), add "en inglés" and "en castellano" in subtitles. Some translated dialogue from one dub of the pilot vs. the English dialogue: Also applies for wordplay, like when in "Hold, Please" Lydia is trying to get Elena to pick an escort for her quinces and says that with social media she only needs to pick a boy and "twat at him" — meaning 'tweet'. In the Spanish this wouldn't work both with the word and grammatically, so instead she says that Elena should "mandarle una teta". She's trying to say 'send him a tweet', but teta means tit. The Spanish might be better because the wordplay is between "send him a tweet" and "send him nudes". (It's kind of disappointing that the Spanish "coño a él" ('twat at him') is nothing like "twittearle" ('tweet him') because that first phrase? It's also slang for 'fuck him' and 'punch him'.) | |

Parental Favoritism | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_88933ad4 | comment |
Parental Favoritism: Penelope thinks Lydia puts her brother Tito on a pedestal because of his successful business, even though he spends little time with the family and didn't visit her when she was in a coma, despite being close by on a business trip. Tito feels the same about Penelope, because of her family and because Lydia chooses to live with her. When it comes to her grandchildren, Alex is Lydia's favorite by far. Also he's her favorite person in their entire family. While on a dinner cruise, when Tito poses that if the boat sank and asks who Lydia would save, both he and Penelope say "Alex" at the same time. | |

Parental Sexuality Squick: Averted with Elena and Alex, who are very supportive of Penelope dating. Played straight for Penelope herself, who is initially grossed out when she hears Dr. Berkowitz and Lydia were on a date. Then there's Lydia's frequent reminiscing about her sexacapades with Penelope's father, not to mention them acting like horny teenagers in the flashback to 2001. In "Boundaries", Alex walks in on Penelope masturbating to Outlander and runs away. Even more so when she insists on talking about the situation. And when Lydia chimes in. And when Elena does as well. Poor kid. | |

Artistic License – Medicine: The timeframe of the effects of Penelope ceasing her anti-depressants, in "Hello Penelope", is greatly condensed. In real life, the effects would be much more drawn out and only begin to be noticeable over a longer period of time. The episode implies after a day or two of not taking them, Penelope is unable to get out of bed and possibly suicidal. | |

Lydia explains it as just how things were at that age and it was expected a man to take control with Penelope outraged her mother doesn't realize how close that is to rape and encouraging Alex like this can lead to him getting in serious trouble. | |

Mood Whiplash: The flashback scenes in 2001 are packed with funny stuff like the younger, blonde-haired Schneider and the horror of Penelope and Victor when they realize Berto and Lydia are going to move in with them. But then Penelope turns on the TV to hear news of a plane hitting a building in New York and you realize which day in 2001 it is... To wit, it's so fluffy that even those detail-eyed viewers were unlikely to consider the possibility even though in hindsight it was simple math — Elena was born August 7th and is five weeks old. Exactly five weeks after 8/7 is 9/11. A lighter version at the end of "The Funeral" as the family have gotten over some long-running issues and are all on the same page with cousin Estrellita giving a toast...in which she celebrated that TÃa Ophelia got to live to see "our President make America great again." Everyone just stares in utter disbelief. | |

Same Language Dub | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_aac4eeae | comment |
Same Language Dub: Has received dubs in different dialects of Spanish, and though there are often wars between which are better when it comes to Spanish, the consensus seems to be on the Latin American one — it uses three of the original cast (Rita Moreno, Justina Machado, and Isabella Gómez) to voice their characters, and the show is about Latin Americans so the cultural dubbing is seen as more appropriate and effective (than to put Mexican or European culture onto a Cuban family, something most Hispanic people would agree isn't ideal). It also helps that Netflix has allowed for the audio to be selected so people in Europe can watch the Latin American dub. | |

Dysfunctional Family: Downplayed with the Alvarez family. They might come at odds with each other and have differing opinions, but at the end of the day they help and respect each other. Played straight with Schneider's family. He has four stepmoms, at least one of whom used to be his nanny, and grew up as a Lonely Rich Kid. | |

Shout-Out | |
| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of the family's surnames being Calderón is a reference to Cuban-American showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett. In "Quinces", Alex says "Immigrants. We get the job done," in response to Penelope seeing the party hall decorated for the first time. Also in "Quinces", the relatives who supposedly weren't going to come but did are the Fajardos, a reference to another famous Cuban-American, Gloria Estefan (Gloria MarÃa Milagrosa Fajardo GarcÃa de Estefan). In "Supermoon", Elena and Syd mention that they plan to watch Batwoman on their date. | |

Series Continuity Error: A few pop up in season 2: Schneider is an Canadian immigrant, and in season 2 he confirms that he does not have to go to jury duty, however in season 1 he mentions needing to get out of jury duty in order to help Alex with a project. "Not Yet" has Schneider talk about how he consistently failed out of rehab and was on his fourth try and failing at that too when Lydia showed up and comforted and encouraged him to try again. The first episode has Schneider mention that their moving in coincided with the fifth anniversary of his sobriety. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math: In "A Snowman's Tale", Lydia recalls how he met her late husband Humberto in Havana in 1958, and immediately fell in love with her during a rather steamy dance the two had. Her story is accompanied by a flashback, where Lydia is clearly a grown-up already. But in the very next episode Lydia says that she fled from Cuba through Operation Pedro Pan in 1962, when she was only 15. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Penelope's ex Victor shows up in "Hurricane Victor", Lydia is exceedingly nice to him and constantly suggests Penelope and him should get back together. But when it turns out Victor lied about being sober and getting help for his issues, Lydia gets more serious than we've ever seen her before, giving Victor an ice-cold look and curtly telling him to "go". "The Turn" has the normally chill Alex lash out at his family for "being too Cuban" while cheering for him at a baseball game. The second half of the episode reveals why: He's been facing racism at school and while out with his friends, making him resent his ethnicity. | |

The Talk | |

The Talk: Penelope tries to give it to Alex when she thinks he's been watching porn. She's not happy about this, mostly due to the awkwardness, but also because she and Victor had previously agreed that she'd give the Talk to Elena and he'd give it to Alex — but, because of Victor's absence, she's wound up having to do both. It results in an extremely traumatized Alex hiding under a blanket and screaming, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!" And then it turns out it wasn't him that was watching the movie anyway, and Penelope realizes she actually needs to have a discussion with Elena. | |

| One Day at a Time (2017) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Even though Lydia is a devout Catholic, it takes her about ten seconds of soul-searching to accept the fact that Elena is gay. Lampshaded by Penelope questioning how quickly she turned around, and justified by Lydia responding that Elena is her granddaughter and she will love her no matter what, she just needed an excuse. Subverted hard when Elena gives a gracious speech at Victor's second wedding, but then reveals in private she's still hurting badly over his abandoning her at her quinces and deeply resents that circumstances have forced her to be the one putting in all the effort in their reconciliation. | |
