I'm no (longer a) fan of the true-crime genre - currently enjoying a boom - but the tone of this series hooked me from episode one. Some may not like the dark comic slant, but how else can you process this level of evil, built on Trumpian audacity. Renée Zelleeger's Pam absolutely steals the show. Some touching moments, also, as the bond between members of the first victim's family painfully unravels.

actually, revising my previous comment. "In February 2022, it was reported that Blumhouse Television and NBC News Studios had declined to share profits from The Thing About Pam with the family of Louis Gumpenberger." really? you're profiting off of the man's death and despite the family winning a 3million suit against pam hupp which they'll never see a cent for, you don't see a reason to donate part of the profits to them? gross.

i like the dark comedy vibes that some of the recent true crime adaptations have taken on because there are some true crime stories that are genuinely batshit crazy. i think all things considered, this adaptation was respectful toward victims and that's all you can ask from a true crime adaptation. renee zellweger was unbelievable in this role, and the supporting cast was great too. best part was the snippets of real footage at the end—amazing how some of the most unbelievable dialogue was 100% verbatim.

Well, I've discovered it is possible to have great actors a great story and really terrible acting. Apparently this is a comedy, which I am guessing refers to the way it was acted. Not recommended to watch with cheese, you'll have a major cholesterol problem with the cheesy delivery of this show.
