Drilling and Pounding

Was ready to turn it off before the opening credits when I saw the cartoon that was supposed to be Jay Leno and whoever was playing Pam was awful. Figured I'd watch anyway. Didn't improve much, but that got me to raise my score from a 0 to a 3 Not many films where you would say Seth Rogen was the best actor.

I will check out the next episode but not holding out a lot of hope.

Lame acting. Silly storyline. Clunky dialogue. And that's the good stuff. It's bad in so many ways. They didn't research the 90s before filming. Lots of inaccuracies. A million better shows to watch.

I don't understand these bad reviews, I was really impressed with the first episode. Sebastian Stan NAILED Tommy Lee (no pun intended), and yes it was over the top, but so is Tommy Lee. Seth Rogan (almost unrecognizable) does a great job of showing us how and why things happened the way they did....you can feel his anger and his need for revenge. I'm really interested to see how the rest of the series. Goes.

What a great way to capture our interest in the most simplest sense. Instead of showing the over the top lives of celebrities we see the world from the lens of an ordinary carpenter who has a reasonable axe to grind. We get snippets of the ridiculous lives of Pam and Tommy through a very ordinary setting but it conveys a lot. Also I was very young to know of all the escapes of these two so its great and new viewing.

I understood why the focused was on him (when I realized it was Seth Rogen), but I didn't appreciate it. I'm here for Pam/Lily James, who barely even appeared in this episode.

Also, Tommy and Rand (and even Pam) were not very likeable characters. Will episode 2 and the alleged focus on Pam & Tommy be better...? Not sure I'll get to it, there are too many other shows I prefer.
