Pamela Adlon is back with a third season of Better Things, the show based on her experiences as an actress and single mother. Watch the trailer below.
This is the first season without co-creator Louis C.K., who was fired by US network FX following a sexual misconduct scandal, not that the difference is really noticeable.
As fiery mum-of-three Sam Fox, Adlon continues to shine a light on the little moments in life, whether it’s interactions with Sam’s daughters, like helping middle child Frankie (Hannah Alligood) with homework and refereeing squabbles between her girls, or dealing with the drudgery of being patted down by airport security.
That’s the appeal of Better Things – its refreshing take on normality and the juggling that inevitably comes with being a single working mum. (Starts Tue., Mar. 19 at 8.30pm; Fox Showcase) 3.5 stars
