Five things for you to watch this weekend

PAMELA: A LOVE STORY — NETFLIX

Pam & Tommy, Hulu’s comedy drama series about the bizarre series of events and characters in the Pamela Anderson sextape scandal of the early internet ’90s, attracted plenty of plaudits and nominations for awards, but certainly wasn’t well received by one of its main protagonists. After publicly saying she was deeply pained by the series and star Lily James’s portrayal of her, the once globally ogled blonde bombshell vowed she would soon be telling her own story.

While the documentary may be a little more low-key than Netflix has led viewers to believe, Anderson is very likable and easy to root for. It quietly offers a solid argument that institutionalised misogyny had a far larger role to play in the destruction of her career than bad boy Tommy Lee and his overexposed appendage.

GUNTHER’S MILLIONS — NETFLIX

This docuseries about a multimillionaire German shepherd is so unbelievable it could only be the true story of the world’s richest dog. It has all the sordid details and slimy cast of characters that give it a carcrash watching bingeability. It starts with an ordinary-looking Alsatian worth millions of dollars and the head of real estate portfolio left to him by a wealthy German countess on her death. Things take ever more outrageous twists and turns as we’re introduced to the shady members of a sex cult and a final left-field bomb.

JANE FONDA IN FIVE ACTS — SHOWMAX

A documentary that uses a wealth of archive and revealing personal interviews to paint the sometimes messy but always fascinating story of one of Hollywood’s most singular icons.

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER — DISNEY+

Fresh off its blockbusting theatrical release, in the wake of the death of its star, Chadwick Boseman, and on the heels of its five Oscar nominations, Ryan Coogler’s much anticipated sequel delivers a solid, feministcentred adventure focused on the uncertainties and rivalries that erupt in the kingdom of Wakanda after the death of Boseman’s King T’Challa.
