Although from the third season Pamela Adlon took the reins of the series, in the fourth she takes that look at maturity from the female point of view further. It's less fun than when Louis C.K. participated in the scripts, but it has a much freer vision of this female universe that it builds. Personally, the plots involving teenage daughters are less interesting to me than those involving adult characters. And it is no coincidence that the best episode, "New Orleans", a wonderful almost magical tour of a city that still bears the wounds of devastation, is the one in which the daughters are absent.
There are also splendid moments like that meeting of women without men in "Father's Day", or those forays into the semi-documentary that address the sensations caused by the first period or the menopause to a series of interviewed women who hide their faces, in the upbeat final episode, "Listen to the roosters."
"Better things" is a different series from its first seasons, possibly it has less humor, but it benefits from a greater attention to detail, to the deep feeling of being a woman.
