Watchseries; This story is so well done and covered. It gives many of the fictionalized documentary type series a run for their money. It is so well done. Definitely watch it.

The Thing About Pam watchseries. Only one episode so far, so rating subject to change.
Renee Zellweger does a very good job as Hupp, but otherwise the acting isn't out of this world. It's believable enough.
If you're already familiar with this story from the podcast or otherwise, you'll find the accuracy to real events is pretty dang close, especially considering it's an NBC drama. Hoping it continues like this for the rest of the series and doesn't stray too far from reality.
Where it falls short for me is the tone. As others have mentioned, it feels a little "off," as if they weren't sure whether or not to make a serious true crime drama or a dark comedy. It's a little of both and doesn't do either of them particularly well. Sticking with a serious approach would have been the right move here, and had they done so my opinion of the show would be a lot more positive.
Overall, it's entertaining. It think it's worth a watch if the subject matter is of interest to you. Whether or not you'll like it probably depends on how well the quirky tone sits with you, but it's definitely not a 1 star show - nor is it a masterpiece.
Can't get beyond episode 1. Maybe because it's based on a true story makes it all the more horrific. What happened to Russ was literally criminal and not entertaining at all. Very hard to watch.
I've only watched the first episode, but I'm extremely excited to see what's next to happen!! I am mostly looking forward to renee zellweger's acting, as I've always enjoyed a show/movie with great performances. As usual, Zellweger killed it on the very first episode! Try comparing her to the real pam hupp, and you'll know. She def know how to capture that essence! I enjoyed this show very much. I like that it's a dark comedy. Some people have a problem with it but honestly, in my point of view, I find the real story a bit funny and terrifying and that's what I see in the show now! So, everything does make sense!
Don't miss your chance and start watching this show already! Hopefully, you'll have a blast watching it as much as I did.
Save yourself some time and watch the Dateline episode or listen to the podcast instead. This is so tedious, only after 5 minutes into the first episode.
I tried watching the first episode but it is cringeful, This is like 48 hours investigates on Meth. The narration kept making me think Christmas Story and The Grinch balled into an episode of 48 Hours investigation mystery. It was just weird, odd and might be acceptable for a court TV granny, but not fit for general audiences. It is just Bad.
