Ugly Betty (Seasons 1–4)

Ugly Betty (2006) is an ABC comedy-drama series you can watch online on iFILM — all four seasons, 85 episodes, adapted from the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea. America Ferrera stars as Betty Suarez, a smart, hardworking girl from Queens who lands a job at Mode, New York's most glamorous fashion magazine.

Betty gets hired not despite being the obvious misfit — but because of it. Publishing mogul Bradford Meade puts his playboy son Daniel (Eric Mabius) in charge of the magazine, then hires Betty as his assistant knowing she's the one woman Daniel won't pursue. What neither of them expects is that Betty turns out to be genuinely good at the job. Vanessa Williams plays scheming editor Wilhelmina Slater; Judith Light and Ashley Jensen round out a cast that keeps the comedy sharp and the drama grounded.

America Ferrera took home a Golden Globe for the role — the first Latina actress to win in the comedy lead category. The show ran from 2006 to 2010 and balanced workplace satire with a surprisingly warm family storyline. Stream every season of Ugly Betty online on iFILM.
