With “Pam & Tommy,” Hulu hopes to explain the trashification of popular culture the way it explained the rise to prominence of the extreme right wing with “Mrs. America.” Will they succeed? We’ll have to wait and see to find out, but based on the first trailer, the limited series sure as hell looks like required viewing.
Watch the trailer above now.
Starring Lily James as Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, “Pamela & Tommy” tells the story of the sex tape made by the then-husband and wife that literally changed the world and, to this day, remains an origin point from which you can trace a direct line to so much of the present day.
