I Love You, Tommy
In this episode, we follow Pam and Tommy as they make love and party in 1995. We don’t see a lot of Pam so far, but this episode turns the attention over to Lily James’s fantastic portrayal of the blonde bombshell.
Tommy and Pam are having sex but Pam has work in Cancun and needs to leave early. Tommy wants to go with her but Pam is doubtful, putting her foot down. The thing is, Tommy is a loose cannon and Pam has her doubts that he’ll listen.
In Cancun, Pam is surrounded by businessmen but going under the alias of “Hugh G. Weiner”, Tommy rings and surprises her. He’s in Mexico with the band and intends to show her a good time.
Tommy takes Pam to a dark and secluded part of the hotel where they can have sex without anyone knowing. They explore each other’s bodies until they both come.
Tommy is slowly starting to think this is the real deal. He talks to his penis in the morning and believes she’s the one. And then a little later on, Tommy proposes to her. Their whirlwind romance soon sees the pair wed on the beach under the beautiful sun and sand.
Tommy returns to the US and begins catching up with the timeline that was started last episode. He meets Lonnie, Rand, and a few other workers who are working on their mansion. Tommy wants them to modify the bedroom, turning the concept they’ve been working on over to the “Love Deluxe.” ..
Tommy and Pam were caught on camera watching TV together while the workers reel over a new revelation. It’s a lovely bit of symbolism for what’s to befall the pair. ..
The Episode Review
Tommy and Pam shift the perspective this time around to Pamela Anderson and Lily James’ amazing job bringing her to life. The mannerisms and the dialogue flow so well, and props to the make-up and costuming departments, they deserve a lot of credit here! When it comes to acting, both Lily James and Sebastian Stan knock it out then park.
The story is starting to get interesting, but the show is still a bit too long. This episode helps to reinforce that feeling. There are a lot of montages in this chapter, and it can feel a little overkill at times.
Tommy and Pam have a palpable energy and pace to them that even in the slowest moments, this is still very watchable. With the third episode clocking in at around 50 minutes or so, we’ll have to wait and see what’s in store for us next!
