Why would they air this on Disney??? I'm probably missing something.

Why would they air this on Disney??? I'm probably missing something.

Hulu isn't available in some international markets like the Nordic countries, so shows like these are available on Disney+ in those intl. markets.

It's not

It's on Hulu in America, and Star elsewhere around the world

Its on Disney + in nordic countries as Bakayoko Ono mentioned

I still don't get why this was the concept they arrived at for a story but two episodes in, I like what I'm seeing. Well produced, well acted, it's solid.

Though I have to say the uh gratuitous prosthetics were pretty hysterical.

Watched the first 3 episodes when it came out and its pretty good. Cant remember the last time I saw Rogen in anything (meaning, I feel its been a while)

I started watching the first episode but I was having a hard time NOT thinking about last week's John Campea episode where Campea said Tommy talks to his dick and Campea's brother-in-law Ray Ora said "Imagine if the dick was like Venom? *uses his hand to depict Venom talking* Tommy! Find me a blonde!"...

Series is great so far, I remember when the story hit the news. I also remember downloading 'the tape' on kazaa once upon a time.

I've been sick all weekend and I binged that thing, thinking it'd be completely dumb. It's not. For one thing, I despise Seth Rogen, really can't stand him and he's in there a lot. It's probably his best role ever, but he's still wrong for the part. The rest of the cast is great. Pam and Tommy are far-fetched caricatures, but the actors manage to make them really likable (it's a feat in both cases really). Offerman might do a little too much, but I was thrilled to see Andrew Dice Clay. The series is an absolute treasure if you're looking for something counter-performative: it makes the couple victims of being exploited while exploiting them ; it makes a strong case of Pamela being treated as an object (a slut doesn't have rights) while objectifying her (and every other female character). On a moral level, I think it asks a few interesting questions, and not only in the plot, as an object itself too. On a narrative level, I get that the "Greatest love story of all times" tag is meant to be sarcastic, but I really thought it was a beautiful love story! And it is tragic too. The fact that the real life Rand Gauthier (Rogen's character) was just as much as a pathetic loser as his depiction in this is also hilarious. It's not a film, but if it was, I might go as up as 6/10 for this one.

Pretty close to the talking penis from Marquis, an amazing little film.

I lost interest after four episodes.
