Better Things

I was looking forward for seeing this show for a long time and it didn't disappoint me. Again im looking at the score on the site and cant understand how this show couldn't get a higher one. Ofcoure a lot of people don't trust the score and watch whatever they want before making any mind about it but still it can be a little confusing when it comes to the score on site. This one is a good show put together by brilliant comedians to tell a story about a family from a funny point of view and it works perfectly fine if you ask me , yes there still a little drama here and there but if you look at the big picture , this show lacks the mistakes that are done by so many comedy shows out there , no clichés , no stupid jokes , just life from a funny perspective.

I find much of Better Things quite amusing, and very realistic, but -- familiar as I am with the volatile nature of the adolescent female -- I still find some of the dialogue written for the girls to be shocking. If I'd ever said to either of my parents even half of what spews out of the character of Frankie, I'd've awakened in the hospital being fed through a tube. There definitely are episodes which make it clear that there is an overload of undiluted estrogen in that house.

Pamela Adlon offers much richer characterizations for her trio of young co-stars this year, and it's hard to think of another tv series since Malcolm in the Middle that has had such an ingenious representation of the youngest-middle-oldest sibling dynamic. The writing is indelibly sharp too, as just like Louie the show is as precious as it is hilarious, and it's captured in a way that's simply beautiful on every level. In a year with no new seasons for Atlanta or Louie, FX subscribers that appreciate more subversive comedies with a knack for subtlety will find all they desire here, in Better Things.

FX has gone to great lengths to make sure every show they produce is not only entertaining but unique in a way that you feel you haven;t watched anything like it.Pamela Adlon really pours her soul out in this show.She plays a fictionalised version of herself.A struggling actress and a single mom trying to raise 3 kids on her own. It might sound like a simple premise but its executed to near perfection.It got smart comedy,great writing,great acting and really subtle portrayal of emotion.Give this one a try and I promise you won't regret it

I've just recently started to watch and am on season 2. I like the show especially Pamela A. Her bratty kids, however, are too broadly drawn and cliched. I would like to punch them. Is that what the writers were going for?
