**”Better Things,” a gem of a show that first graced our screens in 2016, is a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the life of Sam Fox, a single working actor juggling her career and the chaos of raising three daughters in the bustling streets of Los Angeles. Created by the phenomenal Pamela Adlon, alongside notable directors like Lance Bangs and Nisha Ganatra, this series is as relatable as it is hilarious.
From the very jump, you’re thrown into the whirlwind that is Sam’s life—a no-filter, borderline chaotic mom trying to juggle it all. She’s not just a parent; she’s also a referee in a house where emotions run high, and drama unfolds at every corner. Each episode, clocking in at a neat 28 minutes, captures the essence of motherhood in such an honest, funny, and heartstring-tugging manner that you can’t help but feel both shocked and seen.
Adlon shines in her role, portraying Sam with a brilliance that can only be described as mind-blowing. She navigates through the ups and downs of parenthood with her three daughters—Max, Frankie, and Duke—who are just as complex and delightful as she is. There’s a certain authenticity to the way they bicker, bond, and experience the little victories and defeats of daily life. And let’s be honest, who hasn’t felt like they’re playing for Team Mom/Dad/Cop all rolled into one?
Celia Imrie adds a delightful layer as the sharp-witted grandmother, bringing in doses of wisdom that often translate into comic relief. The chemistry among the cast is palpable; as viewers, we become a part of their everyday life, laughing alongside them and, at times, feeling their heartbreak. Whether it’s dealing with school drama or the trials of teenage rebellion, each episode serves up a rich blend of comedy and a touch of drama that feels so real, it’s as if you’re peeking into your neighbor’s window.
Streaming on Hulu with a solid rating of 7.9, “Better Things” is the kind of series you can binge-watch or savor one episode at a time, relishing each moment of its intimate storytelling. It captures the messy, imperfect beauty of life—showing that, despite the chaos, there’s something utterly beautiful in the ordinary… So, if you’re looking for a show that resonates on multiple levels and leaves you both laughing and thinking, seriously, give “Better Things” a watch. You might just find yourself nodding along, saying, “Wow, that’s me!”
