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

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.

Strangely, I like this show but I can't stand the daughters.

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.
