Editors' Picks: Celebrating On-Screen Moms22 of 28
"Better Things" | Available to Stream on Hulu
Plot: Actress Sam Fox raises her three daughters while juggling the pressures of working in Hollywood and being a single parent.
Mom Moment: Even if you weren't raised by a permissive single mother, there's truly nothing like watching Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon) prepare a roast chicken while her daughters stage wild outbursts of adolescence. Sam's responses and provocations might shock newcomers to "Better Things," which just capped its wonderful fourth season, but there is perhaps no better TV example of what it can be like to be a modern-day mom.
