EPISODE 4.1
Steady Rain
Sam picks the girls up from a trip.
In an Emmy-nominated role, Pamela Adlon (King of the Hill) stars in this comedic FX series as a single, working actor with no filter trying to raise her three daughters in Los Angeles.
Pamela Adlon's FX half-hour dramedy returns this week for a fourth season that finds the show still one of the very best things on TV.
Full reviewSam's been hearing about her encroaching obsolescence for some time now, but for the first time, she doesn't attempt to shrug it off or otherwise put off dealing with it. She's steering into the skid with a V8 engine.
Full reviewAdlon is part of a growing cohort of female TV-makers who are interested in showing us what it's like to live in a body: to be turned on or to gain weight, to have hot flashes...
Full reviewIt's smart, brutally funny, often extremely touching but most of all, it's honest in presenting the messy everyday of life and everything that entails.
Full reviewThis is daily life. And through these beautiful moments, Adlon finds a much deeper and more resonant truth about both the coming-of-age stories of youth and the pitfalls of being middle-aged in 2020.
Full reviewThere aren't many shows like it -- period. It's not a sitcom, it's not a drama, and it seems cheap and easy to call it a dramedy. It is undefinable because, frankly, it's life.
Full reviewIt's as masterful as anything else on television, yet it refuses to deliver the nasty shock that's become par for the course among its contemporaries.
Full reviewBetter Things: Season 4 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Disney+.
