Much better than I expected
On the surface "Pam & Tammy" gives the first impression of trash TV, but as you watch the beginnings of episode 1 you realize that this show is quite well-produced. Seth Rogen is a nice touch as the carpenter. But the clear winners here are the masterful impersonations of Pam and Tommy through the acting chops of Lily James and Sebastian Stan, served by a very talented makeup and costume team. British actress Lily James has perfected Pamela Anderson's mannerisms and subtle expressions. You really think it's Pamela. And Sebastian Stan exudes confidence in his portrayal of obnoxious Tommy Lee. The scenes flow well, introducing many other quirky characters, keeping you glued wondering the ultimate fate of that tape. Led by a strong first episode, the quality of subsequent episodes does dwindle slightly, with episodes 6 and 7 a bit disjointed with a mismatched pace. Thankfully, the series finishes with a solid final episode and even throws in a moral lesson for the viewer to mull, which is refreshingly a far cry from trash TV.
