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## ...

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's honeymoon sex tape is stolen and leaked to the public.

Pam and Tommy is a scandalous look into the wild life of actress Pamela Anderson and Musician, Tommy Lee - portrayed by Lily James and Sebastian Stan who bother deliver with their compelling performances. The pacing is sharp, the tone is raunchy and wild & the soundtrack is nostalgic and awesome. The show cleverly explores the invasion of privacy, celebrity life & the rise of the internet.

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.

I'm 1 episode in, and I'm hooked.

The story telling perspective is amazing. I love seeing this through the eyes of "the bad guy". I'm old enough to remember when this was all over the news. That news depiction back in the day did not give us the perspective that this series does. If this quality story telling continues, I might just up my rating.

I do despise the casting choice of Tommy Lee. The actor somewhat captures the attitude, but not the presence of the man. Tommy is very tall, lanky, boisterous, unforgettable...the actor kind of misses the mark for me.

Otherwise, awesome cast. Two thumbs up so far.

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.
