Pam & Tommy

Pam & Tommy (2022) 

An overlong series about the single affair from Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's brief marriage. By any measure, it's a show that makes a fetish out of the 1990s, VHS porn, the beginnings of the internet (the Lees' first encounter with the internet takes place in a public library), the makeup artists have also gone all out, and finally, the question of guilt and innocence is raised. The world has changed, even porn stars are giving etiquette speeches on today's shows. Well, at least on Hulu. The flashbacks from when Pam started shooting for Playboy at a very young age are beautiful. Her affair is interesting in retrospect, especially on the issue of media, law, and technology. Still, I think a max two-part TV movie would have been more than enough. There has been and will be more than enough thematic material. Soon, a documentary will pop up on Netflix, a new edition of Barb Wire will be released, and the entire internet will once again view Playboy covers from 1989-2016, and then it will all be over again.
