I read "Better things" in pieces for a week. It turns out that I am obsessed with wonderful storylines. I don't know why I have been watching life dramas like "Fleabag" that are a bit sad. Such dramas without strong plot support instead give the audience the opportunity to taste the details. It was in the shower on Thursday night that I suddenly realized what was so wonderful about this show: the ubiquitous contradictions. Sam's carelessness and thoughtfulness, boldness and delicacy, love and hate for daughters, mothers and life; the rebellious and cowardly of the eldest daughter Max; the second daughter Frankie keeps emphasizing her feminism and always wants to be a boy, When I encounter a problem, I want my father who has long since divorced to come forward to solve it; the youngest daughter Duke seems to be so sweet, but in fact, she is a little adult who does not care too much about others and dares to say "shit"; my mother Phil does not want to Being a burden on my daughter and I can't help but want to be close to her...
Compared to Fleabag's life, Sam's looks more tender, but "life sucks" is the constant truth.
