Much of Louis C.K.’s comedy and TV show revolves around the horrors of parenting—so it makes sense he’d team up with Louie co-star Pamela Adlon for her new FX sitcom, Better Things. It’s all about a single mom (and working actress) raising three daughters—and DEAR GOD. It’s quite a challenging (and funny) situation. Check out the first trailer, Better Things debuts on FX September 8.
