"Pam & Tommy" takes a rollicking look back at one of the most salacious stories of the 1990s — the intimate home movie made by Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson during the early days of their volatile marriage, subsequently stolen from their home by a disgruntled electrician, then sold without their consent on the internet.
Created by Robert Siegel, the series provides a sprawling, diffuse look at the culture of the mid-1990s, touching on everything from the misogyny of late-night TV and changing taste in popular music to the mechanics of the early web and the role of the VCR in the pre-internet porn industry.
It has given viewers much to contemplate, including a talking penis.
