What: One Day at a Time

Where: Netflix (Season 1-3) & FuboTV (Season 4)

As a single mother, Penelope is raising two teenagers, Elena and Alex. Penelope’s mother, Lydia, played by Rita Moreno, helps her daughter navigate through the ups and downs of life. 

The series would be great for those who love sitcoms, but also those who like the feel-good type of TV shows.
