One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available on Crave. 9 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. 64 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Bonnie Franklin sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Crave — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

One Day at a Time is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. One Day at a Time gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. The misadventures of a divorced mother, two teenage daughters, and their new building superintendent in Indianapolis. Between them, Bonnie Franklin and Valerie Bertinelli carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 9 seasons (1975–2005), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in One Day at a Time is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in One Day at a Time. Fans of Reba will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 9 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Bonnie Franklin is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

One Day at a Time wrapped up in 2005, created by Whitney Blake and Allan Manings — and 9 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
