surprising
I find much of Better Things quite amusing, and very realistic, but -- familiar as I am with the volatile nature of the adolescent female -- I still find some of the dialogue written for the girls to be shocking. If I'd ever said to either of my parents even half of what spews out of the character of Frankie, I'd've awakened in the hospital being fed through a tube. There definitely are episodes which make it clear that there is an overload of undiluted estrogen in that house.
Captivating
Funny, real and inspiring. I have loved Pam since Californication. The story is original. I love that men are not saving these women. They are facing the world on their own not waiting for a man to help them. They deal with real world problems in a non forgiving world of social media, changing family structure and the role of women in society is changing. Cannot wait to see where life takes these women.
Those Kids!
I've just recently started to watch and am on season 2. I like the show especially Pamela A. Her bratty kids, however, are too broadly drawn and cliched. I would like to punch them. Is that what the writers were going for?
Great writing
I love this show and can't wait for season 4. Although it really bothers me that these girls are not taught to respect their mother and apologize when necessary.
I want to know what the boy statue at the top of the stairs is for and why they make it an effort to rub his head. It's driving me nuts not knowing.

Did you know
- TriviaThe long gap between season 2 and 3 came about due to the firing of co-creator Louis C.K., who co-wrote every episode. So Pamela Adlon needed the extra time to put together a writers' room and learn how to run it, a big change regarding the making of the first two seasons.
