...it’s The Thing About Pam’s performances from actors breaking from their established molds that make it stand out in an overpacked genre.

...it’s Zellweger’s performance that shines through. She becomes Pam Hupp in part because of the physical transformation, but mostly because that’s what fine actors do — they make us believe they’re someone else entirely.

Really good show and great performance from Zellweger! This can be seen especially in the end when the real footage of the real Pam Hupp is shown.  Recommending this to any real crime fans!

...en mörkare true crime-version av “Desperate Housewives” eller “Why Women Kill”, kryddat med lite skruvad humor à la bröderna Coen...
