Pam & Tommy

The story is told in a perspective of multiple characters which already makes it an unexpected treat... You wonder if it's worth watching? I thought I'd regret ,but it's more than just the story of Pam and Tommy, it's a somewhat great portrayal of the 90's era, when every teenager wanted a girlfriend similar to Pam and Pam is that Barbie girl prototype many girls aimed to be well at least physically ... Also this show is full of great 90's songs and a moral to treat people that work for you with respect, because Karma is a bit## ...

I really enjoyed watching this show and thought it was well done. Pam and Tommy were obviously a fun loving couple and I knew the series would be stylish and sexy, but I respected how the filmmakers focused in on the gratuitous denigration Pamela Anderson received during the experience of their privacy being shamelessly publicized and monetized. It was disgusting and deplorable how easily people caricatured her, especially because those home videos so obviously represented the sheer love and happiness the couple shared in their marriage, HOWEVER, I lowered my would-be 9 rating to a 7 when I lost respect for the filmmakers after learning that they never got Pamela Anderson's approval in making the series. Knowing how the scandal ruined her marriage to Tommy Lee and caused them such shame and heartbreak why publicly expose their pain again, ultimately ALSO MONETIZING off of it by reenacting and releasing their story without their blessing? If I were her I'd almost feel like my intimacy was stolen all over again. I'm sure that the cast and crew had good intentions, but whether or not they represented her as the gracious and respectable human being that Pamela Anderson is, I don't think that they actually respected her by making the biopic.

This show really started off strong, had no issue being raunchy with some gratuitous display of nudity and sex and craziness. But right off the bat, after the third episode, it was all too fairy tale like Tommy Lee wasn't a piece of garbage in reality whose relationship with Pam was littered with unfortunate events, and Anderson's worst problem was the male patriarchy who kept her career from flourishing past sex symbol status.

In simple words, the story is very basic, and beyond the skin-deep superficial premise of tabloid sensationalism lies nothing more than two people who are just operating in a world dictated by a script that never really goes anywhere. It was actually quite shocking to see that Craig Gillespie made this because it does have that look I, Tonya had, which is one of my favorite movies of all time, but lacks the heart and emotion that I, Tonya had no trouble delivering to its audience. Its unfortunate, but I don't think I am going to finish this, there is not enough in their story to warrant its length.

Seth Rogan is hilarious in this. And I thought the actors playing Pam and Tommy did a pretty decent job. I feel bad for Pam, she didn't deserve this revenge that Tommy's A-hole personality and ripping off contractors brought down on her.

I understand she wants nothing to do with this series, but I think they have actually been quite sympathetic to her in this series. She isn't the Bad Guy, Tommy is and obviously WAS back then.

Really Great Music too.

Worth a watch if your a Fan of Pam, Tommy, or Seth.

I liked the show and part of me wants to rate it highly because Sebastian Stan and Lily James did a spectacular job in their roles and I think it was a good lesson to people on the trauma and invasion of privacy Tommy Lee and especially Pamela went through. It also showed how awful, exploitive, and plain unhelpful the world was in response to it when they should have been appalled and supportive. BUT despite how good I felt the show was I did not realize until afterwards when I decided to look up how accurate the events were when I learned that Pamela Anderson never gave consent for this to be made. Tommy Lee gave his but he wasn't even asked for it until after it's creation so they probably would have released it consent or no. That's honestly messed up and makes them no better than the people that exploited the couple in the past. For it to be a show about consent they should have had the consent of the two people it's about. Had I known prior, I would have felt obligated not to watch it. That being said, I did feel the show did a good job of empathizing Pamela and Tommy Lee's situation in a way that speaks for many who have found themselves in similar ordeals.
