“Better Things” is a Great TV Show

A show about a single mother, her three daughters, and her mom may not sound like a great watch.  But, “Better Things” is rated a must watch 96 on MetaCritic and it received a 100 rating from Rotten Tomatoes.  And, I think it is one of the best shows ever done.

 

Pamela Adlon the star, producer, writer, and director has created a show that has humor and pathos.  The show is so real in its depiction of how life unfolds in surprising and touching ways.  “Better Things” reminds us that nothing is perfectly good or horribly bad but life is a wonder to be appreciated as a family.  Adlon explores the relationships in family and among friends with a masterful take that has not been duplicated.

 

“Better Things” has been called, “Bittersweet, funny, and brimming with wisdom.”  The fifth and final season is currently running on FX and make sure to search out the other episodes.  Each one is creative, beautiful, and musically rewarding!

Dan- Interesting coincidence, my niece writes and produces This is Us. At the seder, she raved about Better Things!

I Love this show. Will really miss it. Curious to hear what Pamela Adlon is going to do next. Saw her on the Today Show and she mentioned that she has a podcast--took a quick look and seems like they focus on one episode of the TV show per podcast episode. Pamela Adlon is going to be speaking at the 92 St Y this coming Monday--in person and virtual. I may try to catch it from home.
