'Pam & Tommy' recreates the whirlwind courtship of a rock musician and TV star and their impulsive marriage in a series about how this couple had their privacy invaded, leading to major stress in their lives and on their marriage.

NEW YORK -- An impactful, if not cringe-worthy moment in the new Hulu series, " Pam & Tommy, " is when Lily James as Pamela Anderson is interviewed by Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" and he asks her about her sex tape with then-husband Tommy Lee. "What's it like to have that kind of exposure?" He asks.Jokes about the sex tape were regular monologue fodder for Leno at the time. What perhaps was amusing in 1996 is disturbing in 2022.

"We're looking back at these stories as kind of reckonings and realizing our own culpability in the way people have been treated and how as a society we treat women, particularly, not only through the media, but in all different levels," said James. "It's good to provoke a conversation, and it's important for us all to sort of look inward and look at ourselves and try and do better.

While the series is entertaining, sometimes funny, and has a good soundtrack, it can be sad and infuriating too. It's about how this couple had their privacy invaded, leading to major stress in their lives and on their marriage. Anderson has said they never made any money from the tape and she has never seen it.
