Tommy sits slightly apart from these series

Pam & Tommy sits slightly apart from these series; Pamela Anderson is neither long dead, nor has she been involved in the making of the show. She in fact declined to be involved, ignored Lily James' requests to make contact, and is now set to tell her story in her own way in a Netflix documentary, perhaps as a way to capture some ownership of the narrative. Despite several attempts in Pam & Tommy to cast Anderson as a victim of the male senselessness around her, it is ultimately a comedy, with breast prosthetics and even an animatronic penis, that does not pretend to be revolutionary. It's actually the controversy of the real Anderson's alleged discontent more than anything in the plot line that should give pause to consider: are women treated better in public life than they were before?
