Okay, let's talk about Pam & Tommy. Remember that show? It felt like ages ago, right?
Seriously, was it all just a fever dream? I could swear everyone was talking about it non-stop.
But when *did* it actually come out? My brain is a jumble of old pop songs and half-remembered TikTok dances.
The Great Pam & Tommy Time Warp
Trying to pinpoint the Pam & Tommy release date is surprisingly difficult. It's like trying to remember what you had for breakfast last Tuesday.
Anyone else experience this phenomenon? Time just seems to blur, especially when streaming services are involved.
You binge a show, then BAM! It's gone from your memory, replaced by the next shiny new series.
So, When Was It?
After some intense internet sleuthing (aka, a quick Google search), I can confirm. Pam & Tommy premiered on Hulu on February 2, 2022.
February 2022! Feels even longer now that I see it written down.
Anyone else remember that whole time period as one big blur of masks and uncertainty?
Unpopular Opinion Time!
Okay, here comes a controversial take. Deep breath... I thought Pam & Tommy was...fine.
I know, I know! Sacrilege! Everyone was obsessed with Lily James and Sebastian Stan's transformations.
And they were great, don't get me wrong. But the show itself? It felt a little...surface level?
Maybe I'm just jaded. Maybe I expected more from a story about such a huge cultural moment.
Or maybe, just maybe, I'm secretly jealous of Lily James' incredible ability to rock a Baywatch swimsuit. (Just kidding... mostly.)
Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the attempt to reframe the narrative. It's important to remember how Pamela Anderson was treated.
But the show felt like it was trying a little too hard to be edgy and cool.
"It felt like it was trying a little too hard to be edgy and cool."
Did anyone else feel that way? Or am I alone in my unpopular opinion island?
Where Are They Now? (The Show, Not Pam & Tommy)
So, Pam & Tommy came, it conquered (sort of), and then it faded away.
It's a good reminder of the fleeting nature of streaming content. Everything is here today, gone tomorrow.
Which makes me wonder, what's the next big show that will capture our collective attention, only to be forgotten a few months later?
Maybe it will be a show about the making of Pam & Tommy! Now *that's* meta.
Whatever it is, I'm sure the internet will be buzzing. And then, inevitably, we'll all forget when it even came out.
The circle of streaming life, folks! It's beautiful, and slightly terrifying.
But hey, at least we'll always have those Lily James transformation videos on YouTube. Those are truly timeless.
