10 Worst TV Shows Of 2022
7. Pam & Tommy
Like all exploitative, unwanted biographical dramas, Pam & Tommy has its merits, from its admittedly effective production design and the game performances of stars Lily James and Sebastian Stan.
Unfortunately, such virtues are brutally overshadowed by the sheer soullessness of its execution, which turns the infamous, cruel sex tape scandal of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee into a long but unamusing joke that skips over the implications of its drama without care or respect.
Considering Anderson herself didn't want the show to be made, and Tommy Lee is portrayed by Stan as some kind of lovable rebel despite the abuse he afflicted in their marriage, it's all too unseemly to enjoy or defend.
Crass and regressive, Pam & Tommy should be skipped for moral reasons, but even if you watch it you'll find a terribly made show anyway. Bad on all fronts.
