And while the family makes plenty of jokes about Elena’s nerdy interests, they never judge her for who she is and who she loves. So often when nerds (and especially nerd girls) are portrayed in film and television, they are often the butt of the joke. And Elena (who is such a Mary Sue) is authentically portrayed as an awkward but endearing nerd. Syd is non-binary, which the show approaches with humor and sensitivity. There’s so much warmth and authenticity in the show, especially when it comes to Elena and Syd’s relationship.

RITA MORENO ONE DAY AT A TIME SERIES
Rita Moreno (1 episode, 2018) Series Production Management. This season also offers a powerful episode on losing your virginity, when nerdy teens Elena and Syd think about having sex for the first time. 2017 Maturity rating: AL 3 Seasons Comedies. One Day at a Time (TV Series 20172020) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. Season three features an entire episode on consent and toxic masculinity, which should be required viewing for all high schoolers (hell, everyone). Instead of being preachy about social issues, the show thoughtfully covers all perspectives and takes time to articulate the issues. Past seasons have covered storylines around illegal immigration, racism, depression, addiction, PTSD, and coming out. Moreno, born in 1931, is one of only 23 actors who has received the triple crown of acting meaning, she holds individual competitive Academy, Tony, and Emmy awards. ODAAT has never shied away from delving into deeper topics. The brilliant show, run by Gloria Calderon-Kellett, follows that well-worn sitcom structure, but infuses it with warm humor, fully realized characters, and a fully realized political perspective. ODAAT feels like a throwback of a show, laugh track and all. I’m not a fan of the traditional three-camera sitcom, which its pat jokes and saccharine special episodes. Moreno, whose career spans seven decades, is part of a small, elite group of EGOT performers who have won all four prestigious entertainment awards: an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure if ODAAT would be my thing. They’re joined by goofy but well-meaning building owner Schneider (Todd Grinnell) and Penelope’s nebbish boss Leslie (Stephen Toblowsky). Penelope is joined by her flamboyant mother Lydia (the iconic Rita Moreno) and her kids, queer teen activist Elena (Isabella Gomez) and her immature younger brother Alex (Marcel Ruiz). The series, rebooted from the Norman Lear classic, follows the Alvarez family, a tightly-knit Cuban-American household lead by single mother Penelope (Justina Machado). Netflix’s One Day at a Time is back for a third season, and it couldn’t come a moment sooner.
