Season 5 Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Beast
Kevin Fallon
The show never ignored the Big Feelings: all the things we carry with us a constant montage of the incomprehensibly bad, but also that we still need to get through the day, with all its joys and pains, and all the ways we fail and grow.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
Few shows on TV have funneled as much complicated feeling through a camera lens as "Better Things." And the terrific final season lets you have it at full blast.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Better Things at its best, with Adlon offering one final refinement on how to see her world and ours - complete with laughter and almost guaranteed tears - before going off to the next step in her storytelling journey.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
It will remind you why the world is worth saving and why life is worth living. It will chip away at your cynicism and help you move forward.
Slant Magazine
Will Ashton
Better Things is a frank and open-hearted depiction of weathering life's ups and downs. As such, it's only fitting that the series, which debuted in 2016, has only gotten better with age.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
If you haven't watched before, now is the time.
NPR
Aisha Harris
Over five seasons, it never failed to make me feel something, anything, during the course of an episode: mirth, empathy, embarrassment, sadness, introspection, catharsis, hope, a glass cage of emotion.
Slate
Phillip Maciak
No show has better embodied the past few years of television, its indulgences and its innovations, the doors it opened and closed, its forgetting as well as its unearthly memory. And there may never be another show like it.
indieWire
Ben Travers
For a series often cited as a tear factory, Better Things Season 5 is the straight-up funniest season to date, filled with boisterous montages, endearing quips, and the now-standard array of amiable character actors putting their best foot forward.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
In the main, I respected this show significantly more than I liked it for the first time. And yet respect it I did.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
Its finally time to say goodbye, and what a sendoff it is.
Vanity Fair
Yohana Desta
As befits the show's general vibe, there is a deeply engrained sense of hope and happiness in the finale, which has a loose, casually profound plot.
Under the Radar
Celine Teo-Blockey
Better Things was a breath of fresh air when it premiered back in 2016 and has gone from strength to strength over four seasons... This much-awaited final season continues to deliver the goods.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
An ideal culmination of everything that came before it...
Paste Magazine
Whitney Friedlander
I want to protect this woman I do not know who may not even need my protection. And I want to believe that the stories she puts on screen are both relatable and uniquely her own voice.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
For six years and 52 episodes, Adlon's series has centered on the stories of everyday womenmoms, sisters, daughters, friendsand elevated the ephemera of their day-to-day lives into art.
Film School Rejects
Valerie Ettenhofer
In its fifth and final season, the show bows out with grace, but not before using every trick in its impressive book to remind us to stop and let ourselves be spellbound once in a while.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
I don't know what her next act will be, but after five seasons with Sam, I feel I know Pamela Adlon, and I trust her.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
In these years of unexpected and sorrowful goodbyes, the ability to delay ones that are within our control is a powerful impulse. Adlon pokes at that concept vigorously in her last 10 episodes.
