Jan 6, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Not perfect, but pretty darned good, and Moreno and Machado are a formidable comedy team indeed. Jan 5, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic What's here is sincere in its intentions, honest to its characters, and clever on every level. Jan 9, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic If One Day At A Time can elevate its comedy to match the more serious moments, it just might become the kind of groundbreaking television show the original was.

Its defiant optimism and earnestness make it compulsively watchable. Jan 26, 2018 | Full Review… Melissa Leon The Daily Beast It's a real charmer that shows the traditional sitcom format is still durable. Dec 27, 2017 | Full Review… Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) That it does so while being funny, clever, empathetic, and deeply touching (most often all in the same episode) makes it one of the best shows Netflix has put out in a while, and their most successful comedy since Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review… Joe Reid Decider View All Critic Reviews (34) Audience Reviews for One Day at a Time: Season 1 Mar 31, 2020 An incredibly fun, hilarious and heart-warming show. Each episode never fails to amaze (or sometimes make you cry). Trust me, it's worth the binge. Jackson B Mar 14, 2020 One of the best shows out there to show true diversity. One Day at a Time tackles issues that everyone and every family can relate to, regardless of color.
