Mad Men was dominating television and PanAm, another period drama also set in the 60s, was poised to ride their coattails into the sky. It didn’t work out as planned and the result is one of the biggest television train wrecks I’ve ever witnessed. Some scenes are so ridiculous that I had to rewind to confirm that I wasn’t dreaming. It’s not quirky, it’s not camp, but secret third thing that I don’t think I’ll ever figure out. Christina Ricci gives a performance that can only be described as…frantic. Aside from terrible ratings, Margot Robbie’s team is probably responsible for the show’s cancellation. She was set to star in Wolf of Wall Street during what would’ve been PanAm’s second season. The two simply could not exist at the same time. Someone said “choose your fate” and Margot definitely chose the right path. Thank you, Apple TV, for bringing this gem to the streaming universe. I hope some indie theater kids find this show and create a parody that truly highlights how insane PanAm truly was.

shockingly good william gibson adaptation ran for an incredible first season on scammazon prime and promptly after announcing season 2 they used the writers strike as an excuse to cancel it and i will never forgive them!!! unique, superb sci fi that could have been the next big thing if streaming production companies weren’t weak as fuck

It takes 5-10 minutes tops. Will save you from the $9 sammie + $5 coffee trap that’s down the block. You can play the music you wish your local cafe played. And you don’t have to put on pants!
