A critic I followed gave this a 4/5. So I watched, however, the same critic gave Maid a 4/5 and remembered how watching that felt like homework, I knew the next time he praised a series I wasn't digging, I needed to drop it. So I stopped watching this after the fifth episode.

Perhaps it was that this was released weekly that I nearly made it through the whole thing, but it just wasn't that attractive of a story to keep me invested to stay for the whole thing. Performances are great, particularly Lily James but besides that, there's not much here in a limited series. Something like this should've been a two-hour comedy film and reminds me not every story deserves the TV treatment (I think Maid, Normal People and Sharp Objects reflect this, although they do have merit here and there, the story itself feels stretched for the sake of it). Pam and Tommy just aren't compelling characters who I feel for, Tommy's a jerk and Pam lacks much depth (she has the innocence of course, but there isn't much else for me to sympathize with). Seth Rogan and Nick Offerman's characters have some fun moments, but I don't see either as worth eight hours of story.

Not for me. If you liked it, cool, it's great when people enjoy things. I, however, am only on this planet for a limited time so I can't dedicate my brain to shows like this that lack any reason for existing.
