Nov 29, 2017Still puts a smile on my face now and again, but it's not going anywhere is it. It's not any funnier second season, character development, they are just settling in, bit like the fourth year of marriage. A slice of life is great now and a gain, but how many slices do you need, before you get bored and move onto the rest of the buffet?

It’s mostly about getting through the day, about getting through the week, about getting through life. It’s angry but never bitter. Joyful but never saccharine. It feels a little like magic.

Its ability to take a more wrenching look at womanhood made it one of the best and most distinctive shows of 2016. The second season, which debuts on FX Thursday, is somehow even better.

Better Things gets better--truer and deeper--when Sam is taken by surprise (as when her ex-husband shows up unexpectedly for dinner, or when a pet dies) or when she’s jolted out of her self-absorption by a parental obligation that yields a small revelation for her. Adlon is very good at depicting Sam in mid-mixed-emotions.
