When Parenthood concluded in 2015, it left a gaping hole in broadcast television. It was the last gasp of a time long lost to the modern era of marketing and branding that requires every show have some giant hook that gets viewers tuning in from day one.

We’re back in Auckland this week where Angela has left another party in tears after speaking in beeps.

During the course of Better Things’ first five episodes, someone goes on a rant about how hilarious Sam Fox is. However, this is something that never truly comes to fruition on screen.

Like so many FX comedies before it, including the network’s most recent launch, Atlanta, Better Things is a good story about a normal person trying to do the best she can in life, but to say it’s funny would be false.

Following the launch of Louie in 2010, comedy on television went through a drastic shift that saw it become popular to not actually be funny.
