Ah, the allure of 2022. As we wade through the waters of 2023, there's an undeniable magnetic pull towards the past year's cinematic wonders. And if there's one show that had everyone's eyebrows (and perhaps, some jaws) raised, it was Hulu's 'Pam & Tommy'.
Sebastian Stan & the scandalous spotlight
In a role that had fans and critics alike seeing Sebastian Stan in a light they never imagined, the actor took a deep dive into the stormy seas of rockstar Tommy Lee's life. The tantalizing teaser launched by Hulu gave the world a taste of the tempestuous relationship between "Baywatch" bombshell Pamela Anderson (played brilliantly by Lily James) and Mötley Crüe’s thundering drummer, Tommy Lee.

The highlight? A fiery exchange that still burns bright in memory. Stan's Lee, echoing the sentiments of many caught in a storm, retorted, “Not a big deal to me? I’m on that tape, same as you.” Yet, the raw pain in James' reply, “No, not like me you’re not,” reminded everyone of the unequal judgment the world often serves.
