While the only two Latinxs in the show are Gloria, played by Sofia Vergara, and her son Manny, Modern Family is a great depiction of what first-generation Americans and their parents go through. In the eight seasons (which are available to stream and easily binge-watch-worthy), you see Gloria making peace with Manny's assimilation into American culture and the way he picks and chooses what Colombian traditions apply most to his life. Like in One Day at a Time, the show speaks to an entirely new generation of Latinxs.
