This is a formula that works and only takes the show to better and more emotional heights because it's done the character work to earn that reaction from the audience. This is a family you know and love, but you'll only enjoy getting deeper with them in its equally impressive Season 3.

ODAAT has long since perfected its mix of in-the-moment humor and issues-based storytelling, so we get great visual gags (think Dr. B posing as a matador for Lydia) and gentle teasing about baby queer Elena’s boundless enthusiasm--which culminates in the wearing of a “heart-butt” hat--along with heartfelt moments of discovery and vulnerability.

The series proves itself to have a sophistication of storytelling on a level that many traditional sitcoms can only aspire to.

Funny, touching and comforting in its relevance for these fractious times. [4-17 Feb 2019, p.13]

Granted, sometimes those resolutions are a little pat (even if they’re rarely as neat as they were on the genre’s forebears). Sometimes they’re slightly saccharine. But sometimes they’re moving and immense and earned. What they register--unflaggingly, and with a ton of humor--is a faith in redemption.
-
One Day at a Time manages to keep the audience invested and genuinely laughing at the same time. Not many comedies can balance the opposing forces of comedy and drama with such ease; but then, most other comedies simply aren’t as successful, let alone as grounded.
-
For two seasons, One Day at a Time made something that’s very hard appear to be very easy. This year, while still strong, it lets you see the sweat and strain.
