There's an interview that can be found online that begins with Ms. Moreno declaring, "I have no objection to playing a Hispanic. I have every objection to playing a stereotype." Not every objection, to judge by the new One Day at a Time.

The real-world issues give it weight, while the warmth of the family gives it heart.

Not perfect, but pretty darned good, and Moreno and Machado are a formidable comedy team indeed.
