Netflix: Pam Anderson A Love Story

Anyone watch it?

I have this habit of going to bed and throwing on something I don't care much about so that if I fall asleep I don't mind.

I picked this the other night.  And stayed awake to the finish.

I came away with a different view of her.  I never minded her before.  She was, to me, the typical pin-up type girl who made a career out of being beautiful and selling sex.  Frankly, her version of that seemed innocent compared to what came later (I'm looking at you Kim K).

But the doco shows a vulnerability that I wasn't expecting.  Given what happened to her and her limited abilities (talent and smarts) you understand better the path she took and the mistakes she made.  

Also, the show really is a love letter to Tommy and that made me sad for her because she believes her one true love got away.

It wasn't riveting to watch but interesting.  Mostly because I found myself feeling for her and then rooting for her.

I'm curious to watch this. I did also watch the Pam and Tommy series that she has a problem with. I enjoyed it, but it was a bit OTT in some parts. I thought their relationship was kind of sweet. But I felt bad that she took the fallout from this while he seemed to walk away unscathed.

This can't not have affected their relationship negatively.

It blows my mind that she alone had to sit for a deposition.

She talks about the multiple depos and how awful it was. They asked questions about her sex life, body parts, etc. She said she felt raped in that room. I guess their point was hey, you're a whore so your stolen sex tape belongs to the public.

i tried watching the pam and tommy series and it started off great and it was well made and well acted but i got bored a couple of episodes in and didn't finish.
and then i tried watching the pam documentary the other night and it didn't hold my attention either. i don't know if it's the shows themselves or maybe i just don't find pam all that interesting. yes, i know she's more than just the boobs and the hair and she's quite funny and the whole sextape thing was awful but i think maybe i just don't find it compelling enough to revisit? i'm clearly in the minority though given the number of people i know raving about this on their social media.

I thought her relationship with her boys was really sweet.
