Season 1 Review:
“The Thing About Pam” is entertaining. Zellweger, Duhamel and Judy Greer (as the Lincoln County prosecutor) land their laughs and make you wonder how stuff like this happens. ... But it takes on a different feel when you see Betsy’s children and husband caught up in the big gulp world of Pam Hupp. While your eyes widen, your heart also sinks.

There is no shortage of plot here, but the programme-makers are too concerned with the quirky tone – they think they’ve produced the next Fargo – to have considered the pacing, or any attempt to explore Hupp’s motivations. There is no mystery or suspense, because the show tells us from the outset that Hupp is the villain.
