The Thing About Pam

2022 · 1 season

A true-crime story told with a darkly comic, off-kilter tone that makes the ordinariness of evil feel both absurd and unsettling.

Tagline: She's a friend… until the end.
Overview: Based on the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria that resulted in her husband Russ’ conviction, though he insisted he did not kill her. His conviction later was overturned, but the brutal crime set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme deeply involving Pam Hupp.
How it feels: Dark, satirical, cynical and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, deception, betrayal, justice
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
