Shows Like "Ted Lasso": "One Day at a Time"

Beneath its wacky sitcom hijinks, "Ted Lasso" also happens to be a very poignant and sometimes all-too-real look at mental health and family dynamics. That's what "One Day at a Time" does, too, by balancing an old-school sitcom style with a very contemporary approach to topical issues. As the Alvarez family and their friends go through life, they also deal with issues of PTSD, racism and colourism, gender and sexuality, substance abuse, divorce, and more. Like "Ted Lasso," it's a show that wears its heart on its sleeve and reminds us that these issues can't be swept under the rug — and that we can get through anything.
