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.

Funny, real and inspiring. I have loved Pam since Californication. The story is original. I love that men are not saving these women. They are facing the world on their own not waiting for a man to help them. They deal with real world problems in a non forgiving world of social media, changing family structure and the role of women in society is changing. Cannot wait to see where life takes these women.

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?

Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon) is an older Hollywood actress struggling with work and raising three daughters, Max, Frankie, and Duke, by herself. She has been a working actor since childhood. On top of that, there's her unstable mother across the street.

Pamela Adlon is this character. This is a semi-autobiographic show and Adlon is brilliantly realistic. These are compelling characters. There is some fun and plenty of poignancy. This show does have one giant elephant in the room and his name is Louis C. K. Louis is a producer and helped Pamela develop the show. In the end, she is the one and only voice that matters. That helps one ignore Louis' name in the credits. Maybe he'll salvage his career in the future. For now, this is a great personal show on its own and it's worthwhile TV.

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.
