Pamela Adlon's Better Things goes a step further, creating a realistic portrait of an actress and comedian trying to raise a trio of daughters in a semi-normal way.

It's unlikely you'll find a show as refreshing, nuanced and confidant, nor will you witness a talent as consistently sharp as Adlon herself.
September 07, 2016
Better Things is one of the messiest portrayals of motherhood on television today - which pretty much makes it the most real.
September 02, 2016
As endearing, and as irrepressible, as Adlon herself.

Still, Adlon's performance, bawdy and bewildered, is one to watch, a shining example of how TV continues to do a better job than film in delivering multilayered roles for women.

Better Things isn't so much breaking ground as it is delving into ground most of us have traveled, and making it both funny and insightful.

One of the most hilariously candid and unflinching comedies of this or any other TV season.
September 07, 2016
Pamela Adlon finally gets her deserved close-up and doesn't squander the chance.
September 08, 2016
With Better Things, [Aldon's] crafted a show about trying to have it all in Hollywood-make money, book gigs, and raise children-that somehow feels utterly original.
