Everyone enjoys a good love story, especially during the month of February. But few love stories are as crazy, dysfunctional and wildly entertaining as the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. This month, get up close and personal in more ways than one in Hulu’s new eight-episode miniseries “Pam & Tommy.”
Directed by Craig Gillespie, who knows a thing or two about dysfunctional characters with the likes of “Lars & The Real Girl,” “I, Tonya” and “Cruella,” “Pam & Tommy” shows Pamela and Tommy’s married life and the days leading up to their biggest release in 1997. Lily James sheds her “Cinderella” slippers for the iconic “Baywatch” swimsuit while Sebastian Stan trades the Winter Soldier’s arm to make room for Tommy Lee’s many tattoos and piercings. At least Seth Rogan seems to be having fun as the show’s developer and co-star, which is more than you can say about his appearance in last year’s “Santa Inc.”
If TMZ and controversy isn’t as much your style, then maybe Jennifer Lopez might be in her newest rom-com “Marry Me.” Charlie Day and Jenny Slate make their comedic return in “I Want You Back,” though don’t expect us to say the same thing for the “Bel-Air” reboot without Will Smith. At least we can look forward to “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” to deliver the laughs that we love.
