Season 3 Review: Fantastic third season. ... GLOW season 3 is a show about women’s bodies as it’s always been a show about women’s bodies, but here the beauty seems to lie how far they’ll bend before they break. Read full review

Season 3 Review: At its best, season 3 excavates the glorious tragedy underpinning the highest camp. The colorful exuberance hides sadness, and struggle. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s smartly plotted, with characters that deepen in the course of the show. But, refreshingly, in our era of homework TV, it’s also a joyride, all roller skates and mousse-claw bangs, synthesizer jams and leopard-print leotards, home pregnancy tests and cocaine-serving robots. By the final episodes, I was whooping at my computer screen, fists in the air, like a superfan. Read full review

Season 1 Review: GLOW is sometimes funny, sometimes emotional and anchored by a strong, ego-free performance by Alison Brie, improving across the full 10-episode first season sent to critics. Read full review

Season 2 Review: As a bonus, the finale closes this latest run in a manner that nicely sets the stage for season three. For a show that occasionally felt as if it was precariously perched on the top rope in its first season -- leaving doubt as to how long "GLOW's" light could stay flickering -- this second match pretty impressively outshines its debut.

Season 3 Review: Season 3 is a patchwork of meaningful interludes, rote character check-ins, and errant plot threads that quickly unravel. Even Vegas itself is an afterthought. Read full review

This show is not so much about women's wrestling as it's about the life of those women who are wrestlers. Of course there's plenty of wrestling and wrestling entertainment involved. However, it's a deep dive into a range of women living in the 1980's and doing what they have to to survive.This show is not so much about women's wrestling as it's about the life of those women who are wrestlers. Of course there's plenty of wrestling and wrestling entertainment involved. However, it's a deep dive into a range of women living in the 1980's and doing what they have to to survive. Whether that be surviving emotionally, financially or both.

The show gets better season after season and it's mostly due to the fact that the direction of the show continues to mold the characters to where the wrestling team becomes a support group. All the while, the wrestling shows entertainment level gets higher and higher.

I look forward to all and any future seasons of the show and really hope the show garners a wider audience as it really deserves it.… Expand

I enjoyed seeing the ladies from GLOW in their new home in Las Vegas. This show continues to focus on important topics in a 1980s setting. These include: equal pay, home/work life balance, racial issues, ageism, homophobia, following one's dreams, etc. But despite the sometimes heavy topics,I enjoyed seeing the ladies from GLOW in their new home in Las Vegas. This show continues to focus on important topics in a 1980s setting. These include: equal pay, home/work life balance, racial issues, ageism, homophobia, following one's dreams, etc. But despite the sometimes heavy topics, the show always has a feel good vibe. My favorite scenes were the Freaky Friday one (where they all changed roles) as well as the Christmas Carol episode. GLOW has been renewed for a fourth and final season. I think this is just the right amount of time. It will enable them to reenact the GLOW television show (that I used to watch back in the day) and give good character arcs and sendoffs to the characters.… Expand
