Better Things is one of the messiest portrayals of motherhood on television today - which pretty much makes it the most real.

With Better Things, [Aldon's] crafted a show about trying to have it all in Hollywood-make money, book gigs, and raise children-that somehow feels utterly original.

Pamela Adlon's Better Things goes a step further, creating a realistic portrait of an actress and comedian trying to raise a trio of daughters in a semi-normal way.
