After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun

I love documentaries but lately I've noticed a trend that a lot of these Hollywood type documentaries come without any real substance or resolution. Its sole purpose is to make those involved look good. If you're main purpose for this is to see what Pamela Anderson is up to, there's one out there that's pretty good but she is not even in this so if that's what you're looking for then move on. Produced by David Hasselhoff and some other members of the show, I think the whole point was to validate themselves, give themselves a pat on the back, slap it together and it's done. It was both too long and too short at the same time. It's not worth watching from my perspective.

This was incredibly well done and can tell that it wasn't just a 3 day shoot of interviews. The ability to tell a heartfelt story out of this from actors who necessarily aren't ready to tell the bad with the good was seen and heard. Baywatch was such a huge pop cultural phenomenon we all know/knew that but what people forget is that if you are a part of that there is a price to pay and yes it comes with perks but the downside can be humbling. This series showcases all that and more. A hit of 90's nostalgia to the veins and the story behind the story. Give it a watch by the time you hit that final episode you will feel it.

The documentary on Baywatch is a nostalgic deep dive into the world of the most-watched TV series ever. Featuring rare home videos and candid interviews, it reveals the highs and lows of fame for its iconic stars. Through intimate moments, viewers see the behind-the-scenes realities of the show that captivated millions. The emotional depth, paired with the thrill of Baywatch's rise, makes this docu-series both entertaining and heartfelt-a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone curious about the roller coaster of stardom! They did a wonderful job showing the people behind the characters!!!!

They barely touched on Baywatch Hawaii but I loved how they really talked in-depth with the stars they did feature. Pam, Nicole, Erika, Gregory Alan-Williams, Jeremy, and Carmen got a lot of deserved time. I know some stats have avoided the spotlight after they left the show...Yasmine, for example but a lot of my favorites got little to no mention and that's a shame. Baywatch was a long running show with more than a handful of stars that made it what it was. For me, I had a favorite or two each season and the Baywatch Hawaii seasons had some amazing characters that deserved to get their moments in this documentary as well.

This was very heartfelt. The director loved what he was doing and it was obvious. It was amazing to see these people all still supporting each other. Even Kelly Slater contributed which was really interesting. It was way more that an "where are they now". It was allowing us to see these people that we all missed very much ! Some of it was sad but now we can all keep some of these people In Our thoughts and prayers. It was a lovely way to let us all in ! I thought it was going to be a boring documentary, but it was beautiful and did not exploit and shame anyone to get ratings , it allowed people to be honest and vulnerable.
