Critics' reviews

"[5th Season Review]: Adlon remains one of TV’s most fascinating performers, and Sam one of its most compelling protagonists (...) 'Better Things' never forgets to be funny"

Clint Worthington: rogerebert.com
"[5th Season Review]: Giving thanks for Pamela Adlon's weird, beautiful FX dramedy about the unbearable everything-ness of being."

Kristen Baldwin: Entertainment Weekly
"[5th Season Review]: Much of its new season did not really work for this viewer (...) At times Season 5 of 'Better Things' seemed to be actively withholding catharsis or key insights."

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"[5th Season Review]: Above all else, 'Better Things' ends as an exceptional, beautiful series about the homes we build in each others’ hearts."

Valerie Ettenhofer: Film School Rejects
"[5th Season Review]: [It] has only gotten better with age (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Will Ashton: Slant
"[5th Season Review]: Pamela Adlon's comedy wraps up its five-season run with big family moments, a trip to London, lots of cooking and generally all of the things that make the show so beloved"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[5th Season Review]: Season 5 is the straight-up funniest season to date (...) Adlon’s performance bursts with life"
