While the global tire fire that is existence these days rages on, we’d like to take a moment to remind you of the Better Things in life—namely, that FX has ordered a third season of Pamela Adlon’s superb dramedy. The series is inspired by Adlon’s life as a working single mother and a working actor, but renders everyday occurrences like school assemblies, auditions, and your mother stealing Egyptian artifacts in a much more heightened fashion. Adlon’s performance as Sam Fox grounds the flights of fancy; even from the end of her rope, she manages to be the emotional center of the show. And Better Things, which was co-created by Louis CK, will return for a third season in 2018, according to a press release from the cable network, which rightly describes the series as a “testament to the creative genius of Pamela Adlon.”
