What IsPam & TommyAbout?
Although many people are likely familiar with this scandal, Gillespie explained toColliderback in May 2021 whyPam & Tommyis worth watching:
“The writing is amazing on that. It’s funny, I was just so intrigued with the story and, in some ways, it’s very similar to I, Tonya with the surprise of it. There’s the victimization of the media and what happened with that tape that was such an affront to them, and how it really ultimately severely damaged their personal life and her career. There’s this situation with the public who snicker and go, ‘Oh, yeah, I know that story. They sold it.’ But people just don’t know the story.”
Hulu also released an official plot synopsis for the miniseries in case you want to learn more:
“Set in the Wild West early days of the Internet, ‘Pam & Tommy’ is based on the incredible true story of the Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) sex tape. Stolen from the couple’s home by a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen), the video went from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown global sensation when it hit the Web in 1997. A love story, crime caper and cautionary tale rolled into one, the eight-part original limited series explores the intersection of privacy, technology and celebrity, tracing the origins of our current Reality TV Era to a stolen tape seen by millions but meant to have an audience of just two.”
What Do Critics Think ofPam & Tommy?
If you’re still on the fence about watchingPam & Tommy, you’ll be happy to know that many critics were fans of the show as it currently holds an 87% onRotten Tomatoes. Here’s what the site’s critical consensus says about the miniseries: “Pam & Tommysometimes undercuts its own critique of cultural voyeurism with lurid stylization, but Lily James' performance gives this sleazy opus an undeniable heart.”
One of these positive critics is Collider’s very ownCarly Lane, who saidthe followingabout the first three episodes:
“…it becomes increasingly apparent thatPam & Tommyisn’t interested in rewriting history — it really just wants to shine an unfaltering spotlight on true events, to the benefit of the series as a whole. These larger-than-life celebrities who wound up catapulted into notoriety for all the worst reasons were by no means perfect people, but how much did they actually deserve what happened to them? Surrounded by unsympathetic figures, the two who are afforded the most understanding in the whole chain of events are Pam and Tommy themselves — and the final product leans more on acute commentary than satisfying resolution, illustrating what the spectacle around this couple’s private life damaged for and between them in the long run while the rest of the world eventually moved on to the next big story making headlines. It’s a series that is both consigned to a very specificthen…and distressingly apropos for thenowwe’re in.”
