The least believable part of ‘Pam and Tommy’

SPOILERS: episode 2 of ‘Pam and Tommy’

I don’t know whether it says more about me, or the writers of TV show ‘Pam and Tommy,’ that —

in a scene where a man hallucinates an active conversation with his penis, while tripping on E —

what I found least believable was that that appendage would be against falling in love with Pamela Anderson!

(BTW, I should add that the characters in this TV show are fictionalised versions of real people, which is morally uncomfortable at best given the subject matter, and shouldn’t be taken to be these people’s lives, bodies, or realities.)
