BEST THING

I’m currently ob-sessed with Better Things, which is on BBC iplayer (S1-4) and Disney+ (S5). Pamela Adlon plays Sam, an actress and frazzled single mum of three, who juggles fighting with her kids with battling with her sharptongued mum (a wickedly good Celia Imrie) and going through the perimenopause. While not much happens per ep (in a good way), what does happen is always funny, relateable and poignant.
