Better Things

I. Love. This show. I'm not sure what it is about mother-daughter stories that get me. (Gilmore Girls is obviously like oxygen at this point.) I think because, in your late 20s and early 30s you are close enough in age and experience of both the mother and teenage daughter. You can empathize with it all. You'll laugh and you'll cry and you'll feel like a girl in all the ways a girl can feel.

Nothing better. I have a major crush on this show. She is a role model. I want to be her.

“Pamela Adlon’s Better Things is one of my favorite tv series of all time. I have probably watched the entire series at least 4 times— twice by myself, once w/ my spouse, and once with my son. I love every single thing about it. I want to infiltrate her world. Even the hard, sad, ugly parts are treated with so much care the entire show is warm and cozy and smart and cool.”

“First day on RecLeague and I see a rec for a show I'm on? THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.”

“Stumbled upon this hilariously endearing series after watching Anora (despite not liking it) & becoming struck by the talent that is Mikey Madison. Pamela Adlon is brilliant in her role as Sam Fox, an actor & single mum juggling her career, three teenagers, her eccentric mother who lives next door, amid a mix of relatable moments & mishaps.”
