Pamela, a love story

Pamela, a love story - review

Pamela, a love story is a Netflix documentary where Pamela Anderson takes back the narrative of her life.

After being so exploited and even humiliated throughout the 90s, the time came when she was able to tell her story. She gives access to her thoughts and feelings through her own words, memories, videos, and journal entries.

Who is this woman?

The media sold her as a plastic doll, a Barbie, ridiculous and dumb. So, you may find it intriguing to know who this woman is. You can argue that she is faking for the camera. In my opinion, she wasn't.

She comes across as an adorable, gentle, and giggling person. A sweet mom and a passionate woman. She seems a little nervous, maybe a bit uncomfortable at some points, but she is a well-resolved middle-aged woman.

She went through a lot in her life. From a young age, many things happened to her that no one should ever have to deal with, but she persevered without bitterness or victimization.

“Why do these grown men hate me so much?”

You can't speak about Pamela's life without addressing the first viral video in history - her sex tape with Tommy Lee. It's not that difficult to understand how bad she felt and why they dropped the lawsuit. Yet, listening to her has a different impact.

Many people made a lot of money from something so private, and she still was the story's villain for so many (she, not Tommy, as one of her kids pointed out).

I liked the fact that her kids were available to talk too. One of the first things I thought when I watched Pam and Tommy was, "Poor kids. It can't be easy growing up with all this." And obviously, they suffered, but they seem sweet and strong men now, always supporting her mother. Lovely.

Speaking of that show, I had no idea she didn't even know they were doing it. It is her story. How is this even possible?

Only human

Pamela Anderson, without makeup and speaking freely about her feelings and different moments of her life - never felt so human to me.

The documentary humanizes her, and whoever watches it, can't think of her only as a Barbie doll anymore. She took a step forward and took the reins. She refuses to be a victim, but she doesn't hide the fact that many people were terribly wrong with her.

A well-done and interesting documentary that I definitely recommend.

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Adolescence: A Mirror We Can’t Look Away From

How Can a 13-Year-Old Commit Murder? What was once an absurd, unthinkable question is the central premise of Adolescence , Netflix ’s latest British drama. From the first episode, the show grips you with its raw portrayal of youth violence. It pushes us to confront an unsettling reality—children, barely teenagers, are capable of unimaginable acts. But Adolescence does not sensationalize crime; rather, it dissects it , laying bare the complex web of factors that lead to such a moment. It’s Not About the Victim Unlike many crime dramas, Adolescence does not dwell on the victim. Instead, it forces us to ask: Who is the perpetrator? Who is his family? Who are his friends? What kind of environment produces a child capable of killing? The show wrestles with these haunting questions, exposing the uncomfortable truth that the killer does not come from an easily identifiable “dangerous” background. His family is normal—too normal. This leads us to the most disturbing though...
