Better Things (2016)

Better Things is a refreshingly honest and deeply relatable dramedy that explores the highs and lows of motherhood, career, and everything in between. Created by and starring Pamela Adlon, the series follows Sam Fox, a single mother and working actress in Los Angeles, who juggles raising three daughters, managing her unpredictable career, and navigating the chaos of daily life with humor, grit, and an unfiltered perspective.

At the heart of Better Things is Sam’s unbreakable bond with her three daughters—Max (Mikey Madison), Frankie (Hannah Alligood), and Duke (Olivia Edward)—each of whom brings their own unique challenges, joys, and complexities to the household. From the ups and downs of teenage angst to the struggles of parenthood, Sam’s life is anything but predictable. Yet, through it all, she maintains her fierce sense of humor, her vulnerability, and her relentless drive to be the best mother she can be, even when everything seems to be falling apart.

What sets Better Things apart is its raw, unpolished look at the realities of modern motherhood. There’s no sugarcoating here—Sam is far from perfect, and the show embraces the messiness, frustrations, and beautiful imperfections that come with raising kids and balancing a career. Through Sam’s eyes, we see the exhaustion and sacrifices, but also the small, tender moments that make it all worth it.

Pamela Adlon delivers a standout performance as Sam, infusing the character with a perfect balance of sharp wit and emotional depth. Her portrayal of Sam is layered and complex—at times hilarious, at times heartbreaking, but always deeply authentic. The show’s blend of humor and heart makes it feel not only like a comedy but also a genuine reflection of the messiness of real life.

Visually, Better Things is grounded and intimate, often using quiet, contemplative moments to convey the emotional depth of its characters. The show’s ability to find humor in the mundane while exploring the emotional complexities of family life gives it a unique and refreshing tone. Whether Sam is dealing with career disappointments, navigating awkward social situations, or simply trying to get through another day, Better Things brings a sense of warmth and relatability that resonates with viewers.

But beyond the humor, Better Things is a celebration of resilience, love, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward, even when life throws its toughest challenges your way. It’s a story of empowerment, where Sam’s fierce independence and unapologetic authenticity inspire viewers to embrace their own imperfections.

For anyone who has ever struggled to balance work, family, and personal dreams, Better Things offers a heartfelt, hilarious, and profoundly real portrayal of modern life.
