Presenting each episode as a visit instead of a story makes the show feel more lifelike, accentuating the growth of Adlon's creative assuredness since she took the reins from the collaborator with whom she worked for the first two seasons. ... More than ever, though, it trusts the audience's intimacy with who these people are by enabling them to grow.

The show’s best scenes have always been rooted in the feelings of ambiguity that parenthood and work evoke, and yet at times Season 5 of “Better Things” seemed to be actively withholding catharsis or key insights. ... In the main, I respected this show significantly more than I liked it for the first time.

Better Things is one of the best shows FX has ever aired. No, it's probably not for everyone. Rather quirky humor. Great writing, wonderful acting, fun guest stars, terrific directing. I love it. My only complaint: it lasted only five seasons.

A not quite perfect sendoff to one of TV’s absolute gems but pretty darn close. Hilarious, moving, wise, I am grateful I got to see these amazing women grow and change. I’ll always hold a special place for this series.

I enjoyed the first seasons more than the later ones. It was more like Louis CK at first. Still a good show, great sound track choosing. Not as funny as it used to be. More drama comedy.
