BingeNext's take

If you’re into shows that mix comedy and drama in a way that feels real and raw, Better Things is a great pick. It follows Sam Fox, a single working actor in Los Angeles who’s juggling the chaos of raising her three daughters, Max, Frankie, and Duke, without much of a filter. The show captures the ups and downs of parenting and life with a kind of honesty that’s both funny and touching. Pamela Adlon leads the cast with a natural charm that makes you root for Sam as she plays mom, dad, and referee all at once. With five seasons and 52 episodes, each about 23 minutes long, it’s perfect for binge-watching when you want something that’s easy to get into but still meaningful. If you like shows like Shameless or Family Guy but want something a bit more grounded, this one’s worth your time.
