Casting announcements were made throughout 2021 and filming took place in Los Angeles between April and July 2021.

The first three episodes of Pam & Tommy premiered on Hulu on February 2, 2022, and were directed by Craig Gillespie, with the rest of the episodes debuting weekly.

Development

[edit]

The series is based on a 2014 Rolling Stone article about the theft of the tapes.[1] Siegel found it hard to believe the events had not been the subject of a film or series previously, with the producers optioning the rights to the article to serve as the basis of the series. Co-showrunners Siegel and D.V. DeVincentis argue that most of the "basic plot beats" came from that article.[2]

The series was first announced in 2018, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg developing the project under their production company Point Grey Pictures and James Franco attached to direct the miniseries and play Tommy Lee.[3] By December 2020, Franco had left the series and it was announced that Hulu had greenlit the project with an eight-episode limited series order. Craig Gillespie was set to direct with Robert D. Siegel writing and Rogen and Goldberg executive producing the miniseries.[4] Tatiana S. Riegel, a frequent collaborator of Gillespie's, was attached as editor.[5]

Casting

[edit]

Alongside the series order announcement, Lily James and Sebastian Stan were cast to play the titular characters, with Rogen also cast in a main role. In April 2021, Nick Offerman and Taylor Schilling were announced as main cast members, with Pepi Sonuga, Andrew Dice Clay, Spenser Granese and Mozhan Marnò in recurring roles.[6][7][8] In June 2021, Fred Hechinger was announced as a part of the cast in a recurring role.[9] In January 2022, it was revealed that Jason Mantzoukas was voicing Tommy Lee's penis.[10]

Filming

[edit]

The series began filming on April 5, 2021, in Los Angeles and finished on July 30, 2021.[11] The two main actors went through long make-up processes to closely resemble their characters. Lily James wore a prosthetic forehead, chest, dentures, blue contact lenses, and a blonde wig. Sebastian Stan spent hours getting up to 30 tattoos painted on him, grew out and dyed his hair, and wore brown contact lenses, a prosthetic penis, and pierced nipples. Their wardrobe was not custom made, but purchased second-hand based on the clothes Anderson and Lee wore during that period of 1995–1998.[12]

Despite Lee promising to pay half the costs upfront, neither Gauthier nor his coworker Lonnie have received a cent. One day, Gauthier accidentally walks in on Lee's wife, television star Pamela Anderson, while she is half-naked in the kitchen. Lee, angered by the incident, dismisses Gauthier and Lonnie's work as shoddy and fires the men without pay. The following day, Gauthier attempts to retrieve a toolbox he left behind. However, he is held at gunpoint by Lee who claims the toolbox as "collateral" until he can hire new workers. Angered by Lee's abusive treatment, Gauthier decides to exact revenge on the rock star. Returning a few months later during the night, Gauthier sneaks onto Lee's property and steals a large safe from the garage. Among its contents is an Hi8 cassette tape. Due to the format, Gauthier takes it to a friend and former boss, pornographic director Uncle Miltie.

Convincing him they can confidentially sell the sex tape on a website and ship it worldwide, Peraino agrees to finance their endeavor.

She convinces Lee to hire private investigator Anthony Pellicano to find and retrieve it. Listening to Lee's long list of people he has angered over the years, Pellicano suspects Gauthier is the likely thief. Tracking him to his apartment, Pellicano beats Gauthier and demands the cassette be handed over when he returns in a couple days. Pellicano then informs Lee and Anderson that Gauthier is his prime suspect and assures them he will have the cassette by the weekend. However, while on the set of Baywatch, Anderson is horrified to find crewmen watching the sex tape. She and Lee find Miltie's website and learn the tape has already circulated nationally.

After an intoxicated Lee gets into a public altercation at The Viper Room, Anderson is warned by her agent of the negative publicity her husband might bring to her career. After discovering new band Third Eye Blind has bumped Mötley Crüe out of the studio's best recording booth, Lee's anger strains his relationship with Anderson. Adding fuel to the fire, the couple's sex tape falls into the hands of Bob Guccione, owner of Penthouse magazine. Unsure of his intentions, Lee and his lawyers preemptively sue Guccione for invasion of privacy, against Anderson's wishes. In retaliation, Guccione demands stills from the video be published. Lee's lawsuit ends up making the Los Angeles Times, bringing the video widespread attention to the point that Jay Leno tells jokes about the tape on The Tonight Show. As the couple's lawsuit moves forward, Anderson is informed only she will be testifying against Penthouse.

After accepting the gig, Anderson is contacted by Playboy to shoot some test shots for them. Anderson travels with her mother to the Playboy Mansion and has fun doing the shoot. Hugh Hefner advises Anderson to remember that the price for her modeling is not the same as her worth as a person. In 1995, Anderson and Lee travel to Lake Mead for their honeymoon, during which time they film themselves having sex on Lee's boat. After returning home, Lee tells Anderson he wants to keep the tape for sentimental reasons. In the present day, Anderson testifies at the deposition and becomes increasingly distraught at the invasive and judgmental questions asked. After the Penthouse lawyer plays portions of the sex tape, Anderson excuses herself to the bathroom and vomits.

As bootlegs of the sex tape begin dominating the market, Gauthier's business has all but dried up. An annoyed Peraino intimidates Gauthier to pay him the $50k he is owed. Unable to contact Miltie, Gauthier desperately tries to blackmail Lee for money in exchange for shutting down the website. The two meet in the Dodger Stadium parking lot but Lee, rather than pay, points out how Gauthier's desire to get back at him has ruined Anderson's life, setting the money on fire. Returning empty handed, Peraino forces Gauthier to instead repay him by shaking down a gambler that owes him money. Gauthier is unable to go through with it. Later that night, Erica tells Gauthier that the sex tape has made her sympathize with Lee. When he breaks down and admits he stole and leaked the tape as revenge, a disgusted Erica throws him out of the house. Gauthier, distraught, returns to the gambler's house and beats him. Meanwhile, a newly pregnant Anderson goes on press tours to promote the premier of Barb Wire. However, all of the interviews veer into discussion about the sex tape. Furthermore, the couple learn their case has been thrown out with the judge ruling in favor of Penthouse. Anderson berates Lee for not seeing the hidden meaning behind the judgement, claiming that she has lost her rights to privacy and bodily autonomy. After attending the premiere of Barb Wire, Anderson and Lee sneak into a regular screening and overhear audience members mocking her performance. Meanwhile, Seth Warshavsky tries to come up with a way to combat his cam girls' low views on Clublove.com.
8"Seattle"Gwyneth Horder-PaytonRobert SiegelMarch 9, 2022 (2022-03-09)
A heavily pregnant Anderson struggles to get work, getting passed up for L.A. Confidential and Austin Powers. Lee deals with a similar career decline as Mötley Crüe's Generation Swine underperforms and the band loses gigs to newer grunge groups. The two discover a bootleg of the sex tape is being streamed on Clublove.com for free. They attempt to sue Warshavsky, though the case is quickly dropped. Warshavsky offers to buy the exclusive streaming rights to the tape from the couple, explaining that once he has ownership, he will add a paywall to limit access to the footage. Though Anderson is open to giving away the rights, Lee rejects the offer. Gauthier is horrified by the work he's done to pay off his debt, so Butchie agrees to call things square in exchange for $10,000. While shaking down a gambler, Gauthier discovers Warshavsky's site. He initially plans to confront Warshavsky, but after a tarot reading he realizes he needs to make amends for what he has done. Gauthier attempts to apologize to Lee and Anderson when they are leaving their home, only to get run over. He then apologizes to Erica, who assures him he is not a bad person. Warshavsky offers to buy the original tape from Gauthier for $10,000, which he takes with the intent of paying off Butchie. Instead, he gives it to Erica so she can finalize their divorce. Anderson decides to leave Lee, but he convinces her to travel to Lake Mead with him. She later catches him bragging about the tape in the hotel bar, which prompts her to return home without Lee. There, Anderson begs him to sign over the rights to the tape. After a violent fit, Lee relents and signs the contract. Anderson tearfully tells him "it's over", and after their son is born, Anderson and Lee get a divorce.

Reception

[edit]

Viewership

[edit]

According to market research company Parrot Analytics, which looks at consumer engagement in consumer research, streaming, downloads, and on social media, Pam & Tommy reached second place among breakout shows, which are the most in-demand series that have premiered in the past 100 days, during its first full week of data from February 5-11, 2022, achieving 32.9 times the average series demand.[17][18] It was the third most in-demand breakout series from February 26 - March 4, 2022.[19][20] It and ranked as the fourth most in-demand new show during the week of March 12-18, 2022.[21] Nielsen Media Research, which records streaming viewership on U.S. television screens, reported that the series was watched for 312 million minutes.[22][23] Whip Media, which tracks viewership data for the more than 19 million worldwide users of its TV Time app, calculated that Pam & Tommy was the tenth most-watched original series across all platforms in the United States during the week of February 6, 2022.[24] It later climbed to sixth place during the week of March 13, 2022.[25]

Critical reception

[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 78% approval rating based on 102 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Pam & Tommy sometimes undercuts its own critique of cultural voyeurism with lurid stylization, but Lily James' performance gives this sleazy opus an undeniable heart."[26] On Metacritic, the series has a score of 70 out of 100, based on 42 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[27]

James Poniewozik of The New York Times found the show "consistently entertaining" and praised the performances of the actors, calling James' portrayal a "sneakily complex performance", and complimented the narrative alongside the practical effects.[28] Alison Foreman of Mashable praised the performances of the whole cast, especially James and Stan, complimented the soundtrack and pace, and stated that the show keeps "the entertainment value high".[29] Inkoo Kang of The Washington Post stated that the transformation of James and Stan is a "casting and makeup coup", while saying that the production is admirable due to its "madeleine-esque needle drops to its relish in the baggy tackiness of so much '90s fashion.," although claiming that the show exploits Anderson's story.[30] Alec Bojalad of Den of Geek reviewed Pam & Tommy positively, stating that James as Anderson and Stan as Lee are "excellent choices", praising the development of the characters, and saying that "it transports viewers into the mind of a real woman enduring real internet-era trauma."[31]

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian rated the miniseries 4 out of 5 stars, saying that Pam & Tommy is a "warm, funny, intelligent and rather moving drama," while calling the performances from Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Lee "astonishing", stating that "each achieve the feat of uncannily resembling – aesthetically, vocally, and in every mannerism – the real-life people, without descending into mimicry."[32] Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India rated the series 4 out of 5 stars, praised the performances of the actors and Craig Gillespie's direction, and stated that the miniseries manages to provide a captivating story.[33] Martin Brown of Common Sense Media rated the series 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "In real life, Anderson and Tommy Lee came off as slightly more sympathetic than they do in this version of the story, which focuses more on the sensational aspects of the story and characters than on why they might be relevant to viewers nearly 25 years later."[34]

Clint Worthington of RogerEbert.com rated the series 2.5 out of 4 stars and said that the series is entertaining, called the performances of the actors "strong" and the direction "stylish", but found that the show is a violation of privacy that is "filtered through the glossy lens of prestige TV."[35] Laura Martin of BBC rated the show 2 out of 5 stars, complimented the performances of James and Stan, and found some scenes amusing, but stated that the show exploits the traumatic personal life of Anderson.[36]

Response from Pamela Anderson

[edit]

In her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, Pamela Anderson says that she was not consulted about the production of the series. Critics, journalists, and academics posited that the series was profiting off of Anderson's trauma without her consent, and likely doing further harm to her.[37][38] Pamela, a Love Story verified those claims, in Anderson's own words.[39]

Producers of the series were able to develop the series without her participation, permission, or consent by optioning the rights to an article published by Rolling Stone in 2014.[2] Some critics felt that this was a similar violation of privacy that mirrored the sex tape originally being stolen and distributed without Anderson's and Lee's consent.[40]
