Description
The One Day at a Time reboot (2017-2020) revises the original’s narrative premise to allow for a broader analysis of intersectional politics, while maintaining its original comedic formula. While scholars have often denied the compatibility of cultural critique with television comedy’s particularly complex systems of representation, One Day frequently and directly explores the effects of inequality on its working-class family while adhering to the sitcom’s conventions. Rather than impeding the location of the family within socioeconomic realities, the use of traditional performative styles and intergenerational conflicts allows the series to contrast the class positions of its characters through a disidentificatory stance toward representation and meaning.
