Pan Am

Anyone else watching? I'm really enjoying it. I didn't know what to expect and thought it could get boring, just being about a bunch of air hostesses but I've been pleasantly surprised. The cold war element and politics involved make it more interesting to watch.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show!   ;D ;D

When it first started here, I saw a news interview with one of the original Pam Am stewardesses.  She said that the storylines are based on their actual adventures...even down to the spy element!  Of course a little embellished for dramatic purposes, but I thought knowing that made the show even more interesting.   ;)

I have been watching...and enjoying for the most part. I love the fashions, and it is a pretty show.   But Christina Ricci is really starting to bug me, especially her eyes.  She seems a bit crazy, and not in an endearing way.  Plus, she is so tiny, there is no way she would have been a "stew."

I do like the other girls, especially Collette.  I hear rumours that it might only last one season.  That is too bad.  I think if they give it time to develop, it could be a really good show.

Yeah, I see what you mean about Christina Ricci. Shes a beautiful girl but has some very unique features.

I'm enjoying it.  When I saw the adverts, I thought it was going to be an excuse for lots of travel and easy sex everywhere, but there has been more depth to it, so it's been fun.

I really hope that it continues, too! There have been a few too over-the-top storylines but mostly, it's been interesting. :)

Been catching this on iplayer, as I love Mad Men.  Unfortunately, I think it falls short of Mad Men - where I really think they've got the drama and acting and time period correct- whereas, on this, for example, the London spy, doesn't have a London accent at all! Could they have not gotten a British actor? (Unlesss, he's not actually supposed to be British?)

Still, there's enough in there to keep it interesting enough.  And from all accounts they've got the Pan Am stuff spot on!

I thought it all reverting back to Tand A and that is all women are good for. Trash.

Those of us in the UK who are still watching Pam Am it was back on Sat night on BBC2. so if you missed it you can watch it on the BBC I-Player.
