In an era where you can only watch so much tv (while still trying to have a life), it's common to abandon a show just after half an episode. There are too many good shows out there.
This one almost lost me halfway through the first episode. It wasn't the best decision, I'd say, to focus on the carpenter - without us knowing why. The show's title is Pam and Tommy, and there we are, watching a guy working for Tommy, most of the time. At the end, we know why, but as stated: that was almost too late.
The main characters aren't shown in their best light, to put it mildly. The carpenter is vengeful, and has no problems with breaking and entering. (one could argue that he has his rights to act like he's acting, but still) Tommy is, well, I can't write the word I'm thinking of - he's an self-entitled has-been with too much money. Not a nice guy, too say it very kindly. And Pam, who IS shown as a nice woman, is also shown as a pretty dim woman.
Other than that, only regarding the appearances and attitudes of the two title characters, as far as we know them from back then and from afar: they've nailed it.
I'll give the show another chance. The reason I'm writing this: the carpenter thing, without us knowing who he is - bad decision.
