The Thing About Pam

"A watchable if often underwhelming true crime docudrama that wants to both be weird and play it safe..."

"Performances from actors breaking from their established moulds (makes) it stand out in an overpacked genre."

"It’s not believable enough to be moving or sharp enough to be satire. So… what is it?"

"Zellweger (as Pam) is simultaneously broadly cartoonish and blandly nonspecific."

"Judy Greer is a wicked series highlight as Leah Askey..."

"There... seems to be very little in the way of subtlety or shading to the story."

"On the whole, The Thing About Pam manages to be both amusing and appalling, eccentric and shocking."

"When the Coen Brothers-inspired tone works, it's deliciously satisfying."

"It's a true-crime experiment that clearly wants to be the next Fargo and doesn't get there."

"There’s a lot of blurriness of intention around the storytelling in The Thing About Pam..."
