Review of Better

Better (2023)
9/10
Not a cop drama, but the trials of a mother who's a corrupt cop

So yes, if you're looking for a gritty cop drama, this probably isn't the show for you. You can skip it and go watch something else (maybe The Gold?)

Sure, Better does have cop-drama stuff in it, but it's largely superficial -- the substance here is all about the power of family bonds to reform bad behaviour, which might be considered by some to be a bit dry and boring -- this is definitely not the show for them.

The protagonist could have been a Saul-style lawyer, a drug dealer -- honestly that part of the story doesn't matter that much. There's a 'devil' in the form of the antagonist with whom she's made a 'bargain' she must get out of. That's the plot in a nutshell.

But, Better has dressed that plot up in a reasonably attractive fashion, and so if you'd like to join our protagonist on her journey of redemption then you're more than welcome to come along!

Rated 9/10 for what it is. Which is not a cop drama.
