10 Must-See New TV Shows Starting In February 2022
1. Pam & Tommy
With Pam & Tommy, Disney+ is looking to make the transition from the app with all the Marvel and kids’ stuff to a genuine alternative in streaming. Released on Hulu in the USA, it looks like the real deal, a glossy and addictive drama that has major hit written all over it.
As the title suggests, it’s the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee at the apex of their fame. Young and in love, they recorded a sex tape which was stolen from their home and sold online. The eight part series recounts in detail the life and times of all the players in the matter.
It’s a stacked cast, with co-creator Seth Rogen as sleazy criminal Rand Gauthier, and Nick Offerman and Taylor Schilling in supporting roles. Carrying the weight, though, are Lily James and Sebastian Stan as the titular lovebirds. Both look sensational in the roles, with James especially unrecognisable as anyone other than Anderson.
Pam & Tommy looks set to be the first major TV event of the year - it’s advisable to get in on the ground floor.
