Norman Lear Eps. That Changed the World: 'The Turn'
One Day at a Time — Season 2, Ep. 1 — “The Turn”
Original Air Date: Jan. 26, 2018 Norman Lear’s reboot of his 1975 series — about a single mom raising two daughters on her own — was more overtly political than the original, reimagining the premise with a Latino cast (Justina Machado and Rita Moreno, with Todd Grinnell as Schneider) while tackling hot-button issues like racism and immigration. The first episode of season 2 had Penelope’s 13-year-old son Alex (Marcel Ruiz) urging his family not to embarrass him by talking loud or calling him “Papito.” Turns out that’s because Alex was told to “go back to Mexico” by a bully who heard the young man — born in America — speak Spanish to a friend. Gloria Calderon Kellett, herself from a Cuban-American background, created the series with Mike Royce, with a 95-year-old Lear executive producing. – Etan Vlessing https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...ld-1235714838/ |
