Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Better Things,” launching its fifth and final season February 28, is not the highest-profile show to have recently announced its conclusion, or the flashiest. But its time on FX has been a small-scale triumph both of art and of persistence — and a moment in TV history that seems to be flickering out of view.From its 2016 launch, “Better Things” depicted the trials endured by Sam Fox (show creator Pamela Adlon), who struggled to balance her life as a single mother with her career as a working actor in Hollywood.
The first two seasons featured writing credits by Adlon’s sometime creative collaborator Louis C.K.; Adlon, a veteran performer, had broken through to a new level of fame before the launch of “Better Things” thanks to her appearances on C.K.’s “Louie.” After C.K. was publicly accused of sexual misconduct, allegations he confirmed were true, Adlon considered walking away from the show; she returned for a third season in which she directed every episode.
As the show went on, its backstory seemed to merge with what was on the screen — which is not to say that C.K.’s misdeeds swamped it. Indeed, Sam’s perennial drive forward, her ability to keep moving through the endless small degradations of her personal and professional lives with some semblance of good cheer, made the character a sort of avatar for living through a challenging time.
