Better Things is a new comedy on FX about single mom Sam, and her three daughters; Max, Frankie, and Duke.

Sam is a hard working mom both outside and inside the home. Her daughters all test the best of her abilities in their own ways, and Sam does her best to stay afloat. Even when she says that she is ?dating her daughters?, she still finds quiet time to text a ?buddy?, and enjoy some fun flashbacks, until the sexting runs cold.
