It’s most resonant when it treats its heroine as a moral mixture. When, a few episodes in, it begins to dive into Pamela’s messy unconscious, it deepens, hitting on disconcerting themes about sex and loneliness. The show’s moody, jazzy style, its reliance on the unexplained image, can border on pretension, as jazzy things so often do, but it lingers in your mind, agitating in a good way.

The eight brilliant episodes provided to critics suggest the show is better off for the upheaval. Better Things’s energy is stronger, clearer, and even more seductive, wrapping its viewer up in the hairy details of life with real people.

Better Things is the kind of intimate show that captures the characters' mundane expressions of love, frustration, and loneliness so accurately that you forget about the art and effort behind them--the sensitive scripting, the genuine acting, the respectful direction.
