    At a time characterized by the high level of ambition among premium comedies, GLOW has admirable qualities but emits a relatively dim light.

    GLOW works (or doesn’t work) in a 1:1 ratio with how things are working out in its story. When the characters are disorganized and the cable show is a mess, so is GLOW. Once the characters find their personas as wrestlers, they start to have them for viewers. And once the performances begin, GLOW starts to get very good.

The characters are well written and interesting. It's difficult to balance a large cast like this but each person stood out while highlighting a number of larger issues which were prevalent at the time and which are still a big issue today, namely race relations and women in the workplace.
    At the end of the day though it's just a really fun show with a great sense of humor. The episodes are quite short (around 30 minutes) so don't be surprised if you binge your way through it. Definitely give it a chance, I loved it :D.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Pink Neon is the New Black. Show is unbearable. Saw the great reviews and suggested SO and I watch it. SO enjoys it, I find it utterly disappointing. Looking over the reviews, I see a theme of yay! girlpower!. SO is not exactly pro feminism, so I imagine he is just enjoying it for the bewbs. Usually I like Alison Brie, she was great in community, but here she looks like an aging poorly frump with sad mosquito bite breasts. So I am not even sure what SO is excited about ... Perhaps Betty Gilpin and what she describes as her "baby manatee sized pups". Her boobs. Anyway, this show is dull and seems forced. Plus racist and full of absurd situations. No, no soap actress would ever stoop to the level of faux wrestling. Just gag me with a spoon before I have to watch more of this tripe.… Full Review »
