Pamela Adlon in "Better Things"
Pamela Adlon has the amazing ability to take you from a hilarious moment to a heartbreaking one within seconds. From her awkward relationship with her mother to her horrendous breakups, you will laugh until you cry, or sometimes cry followed by immediate laughter. I think the true beauty of the show comes from what isn't said. A glance between a mother and her daughter when her father fails to show up. The last treasured flowers given to a ghost. A hand over the mouth when there might be a romantic moment with your best friend's ex-husband. Or the perfect graduation gift: a dance routine in the backyard. So many moments to treasure.
