I was too young to follow the story of Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee in real time, but of course, I’ve heard about the infamous sex tape. The first few episodes cover the intense love affair between Pam and Tommy — love at first sight if there ever was such a thing. We also quickly establish Rand Gauthier as the man who is out to get them. As the series continues, Tommy must reckon with the end of his Mötley Crüe music career, while Pamela struggles to rise above her Playmate status and beach babe role on Baywatch. The show digs into themes of celebrity, sexism, misogyny and how the internet dismantled privacy and changed the face of porn forever. If you lived through the 90s, you’ll love the fashion, music and lingo throwbacks. Loose jeans and “cool beans.” A time when grunge replaced punk, and Nirvana and Third Eye Blind were the hot, new acts in town. Though, I really could’ve done without the dick talk. But, the acting is superb. Definitely bingeworthy!
