Trivia

Stephen Tobolowsky would star in another show about a young woman living on her own for the first time in her own apartment; Single White Female. But that was a thriller; not a feminist sitcom; and he was one of the villains in that; not one of the heroes like in One Day. Infact Tobolowsky is known for villain roles; he played a villainous predatory role on Glee also. One Day might be his first and only sympathetic character.

Goofs

In episode 4, Lydia relates the story of meeting her husband in Cuba as a young woman. However, this was contradicted in episode 9 when she states that she left Cuba as a minor during Operation Pedro Pan.

User Reviews

Love this show

I started watching this show because I was bored and wanted to just have something on TV while I worked and found myself overcome with emotions. This show is amazing and I can't wait until the next season debuts. It kept me laughing, thinking, and even crying. It is a great series and the only negative thing I have to say is that there weren't enough episodes. Netflix could help me out a lot by adding 26 episodes a season instead of their typical 13. I watched the entire serious in a few short hours and now want to make sure that this show continues. In all honesty this show was more intriguing to me than many other Netflix sitcoms as well as some other shows like George Lopez.

Keep up the great work Netflix!!!
