I was So Looking forward to this mini-series.
Pam & Tommy were Amazing.
Pros: Both Lily James and Sebastian Stan were unrecognisable as Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee perceptively. It don’t shy away of showing how invasion of privacy effect people. I was surprised they have given sympathy for each character and also it doesn’t shy away from showing the content of this show had shown.
Cons: The subject matter might be uncomfortable to sit through for younger viewers.
