Better Things

'Breeders' and 'Better Things' and 'Devs', oh my!

Before the 2018 Emmy nominees are announced, these are the shows and performances that most deserve to be recognized.

Now that TV has hit summer vacation mode, we’ve picked over a dozen of the best TV shows you’ve been missing, from ‘Killing Eve’ to ‘Krypton.’

Our associate editor picks her favorite television shows of the year (with some honorable mentions).

FX seemed somewhat slower to cut ties with producing partner Louis C.K., instead labeling their relationship “under review.” Now, following the comedian’s own statement, FX confirms C.K. will no longer act as producer to Better Things, Baskets or others, with production suspended on a TBS comedy as well.

The entertainment world is understandably reevaluating partnerships with Louis C.K. in the wake of Thursday’s bombshell report. HBO has opted to remove the comedian from its upcoming autism benefit and streaming library, while FX is rethinking its own relationship with C.K.

Oh sweet Sunday Funday, You’re The Worst is back. The fan-favorite and critical darling FXX comedy has officially put an end to our misery with a September premiere date for Season 4, joined by Pamela Adlon’s FX Better Things.

FX is certainly riding high after their Emmy wins Sunday night, and the success of their newest comedies could bring more. As such, Donald Glover’s breakout hip-hop dramedy Atlanta will return for Season 2, along with Pamela Adlon’s Better Things.

It’s not the type of show to bring any flashy presentation to Comic-Con, but we’re still excited for a look at Louie star Pamela Adlon’s FX Better Things, if not on the strength of its first teasers, than by C.K.’s involvement. The first full trailer makes a strong case as well, debuting well before the September premiere.

The majority of early teases for Donald Glover’s FX Atlanta have hit upon the same backwards-walking line, and with a September premiere now firmly etched out, the track is starting to change. Wake up (repeatedly) to a brand-new look at the “Twin Peaks with rappers” series, along with another pillowy glance at Pamela Adlon’s new FX comedy Better Things.
