Similar thoughts passed through my mind several times watching Amazon and the BBC’s The Pursuit of Love, a limited series that marks the wildly promising directing debut of actor Emily Mortimer, who previously turned her attention to writing and producing with the similarly assured dark comedy series Doll & Em.
Odd, though, how that’s a justification applied more frequently to women than men.
One might say, “But would she have been as remarkably versatile and talented behind the camera without that additional experience?” One can’t possibly know.
FX’s Better Things is such a spectacular show that I often watch episodes wondering how the industry might have been better if somebody had given Pamela Adlon the writing-directing-acting keys to the kingdom a decade earlier.
