The Times just had a great piece about this show, which I've known about, but have never watched. Do I need to start from the start or can I just jump into this season? Here's a link to the article:

| I have watched it from the beginning and would suggest you start there too. |

It was one of my early pandemic discoveries and loved working through from the beginning. Can't wait to see the new season.
And it is a shame that Louis CK turned out like he did. The entire show has his DNA all over it (make up your own jokes) and it is so good because of that. |

We had a previous thread on this topic:
https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/668546.page#16873992 In short, the early seasons were more comedic whereas the recent seasons are much more of a drama. Definitely got more serious when Louis CK was booted off the show. |

Yeah, the series that Louis C.K was involved with were better, in my humble opinion. I mean I LOVE all of them, yes, but the early ones were tighter plot wise, they seemed rambling but rambling with purpose. The rest has just been rambling.
And Celia Imrie is HILARIOUS. |

There was also a good article on Pamela Adkin in the Washington Post last month.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/02/10/pamela-adlon-better-things/ The show has seemed a little disjointed the last past couple seasons, but I’m going to miss it. |

Are the earlier seasons streaming? Which service?
(By the way, is there an easy place to check to see which shows are streaming on which service? I feel like it's a PITA to check them all . . . . ) |

| The entire run is on Hulu. |

| It’s hard to watch how the kids behave in this show. |

Google “[the title of any show/movie] streaming” and all the options will appear. |

If you spend any time in LA you'll discover those kids on the show are super well behaved, by contrast. |
