    O.K., let's be honest. I love the cast and the characters but this story isn't really consistent and it never leads anywhere. Alison Brie is brilliant though.

    I want to like this show more but it is so corny and most of the people who aren't Marc Maron and Alison Brie are terrible actors. There is some serious eye rolling scenes that Saved By the Bell wouldn't have done. The pilot was great but then the first half of the season is so boring. The second half is much better but it keeps doing really dumb stuff.

The second half is much better but it keeps doing really dumb stuff. Still I enjoyed watching it enough to watch all of it and want to see a second season. Even at the unbelievably saccharine ending I had a smile on my face so I don't regret watching this light escapism.… Expand

    Despite a boring first half of the season and a wildly scattershot plot overall, GLOW manages to find its footing in the second half of the season, focusing more on the wrestling as well as escalating the character conflicts.

    The show definitely has its moments, but overall, the writing isn't especially clever or unique. It relies on the old affair plot to start and doesn't really have major character beyond it. The side characters aren't given enough screen time and frankly, most don't deserve it and overall it can be slow at times. The being said, the show does have moments where it's genuinely funny and theThe show definitely has its moments, but overall, the writing isn't especially clever or unique.

    Worth a watch if you're into wrestling.    … Expand

    I usually don't like these feminist shows, but this one was actually entertaining and it didn't press the feministic values on its audience very second. It was a little too dramatic, though.

    GLOW is not to be confused with a lecture on sociology and female empowerment in the workplace. It’s sprinkled with soap and isn’t above focusing on some of those body parts itself. But even if professional wrestling bores you to tears, GLOW spins some stories that ring true.

    GLOW, both the show and the show within the show, lives and dies by its ferocious women.

    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.
