This clever sitcom reboot of the classic Norman Lear series revolves around a Cuban-American family following the matriarch Penelope's divorce as they navigate life's challenges together. During season one, army vet Penelope is reluctant to admit to her family that she struggles with anxiety, depression, and PTSD (as mental illness tends to be stigmatized in the Cuban community), but she is able to open up about her battle more in season two. In a particularly moving episode, Penelope goes off her meds and stops attending therapy in order to hide her struggles from a new boyfriend, and the resulting fallout demonstrates just how necessary proper care is for someone living with mental illness.
