I have never watched anything this bad before - ever! I gave up part way through episode 3 by which time I had lost the will to live.

In the first season nothing happens. It's the same training gags, montage type deals,
Money problem and an infidelity sub plot. Way too much content. I mean no spoilers but that's the whole season with the everyone pick on Ali tone. This should be 6 ep seasons. Ali Brie is insanely over rated as an actress. If you're a fan of this show can u really picture the way she acts as a successful wresltler in real life? I get that it's supposed to be funny, but there's so many other actresses who should've had this role over her; they could done something body positive and more realistic, and simply have
Been good. There's no one talking about that tho, just hating on people who just honestly review shows & movies like this that use social justice as marketing, pushing something like an all female cast before substance. Brie would be laughed out of the ring portraying a real GLOW, watch the doc on Netflix if you don't believe me. it's terrible casting, but they took the "big name" instead of actually doing something socially progressive by casting someone body positive, Bc using a female cast in a show based on a real ladies wrestling association is super Brave on its own. Essentially it tried
too hard to push the "look how well we pulled off the all female cast!" Instead of using the potential of the concept, Bc it could've been amazing. Honestly, people will hate on my review for sure, but I'monly being honest, I was super disappointed with the lack of anything happening in he first season.

I was about 10 or 11 when the original GLOW was on and I loved it. It was an hour of irreverent and terrible comedy surrounded by women doing something I'd only seen men do - wrestle. Even with the terrible acting and costumes and the dash of racism, i felt empowered.This series had me hooked from the beginning. As much as I worried about Alison Brie being miscast, she proved from the start that she was born for this show. Every actress and character brings something to the table, although with only 8 episodes each season, we won't get as much character development as we should with the minor characters. Marc Maron brings a brilliance i never knew he was capable of bringing (I say this as a fan of his.). Once you see these characters in action, you root for them. They're the underdogs of their own story and they're fabulous.Part of my love for this show is the nostalgia but most of it stems for being a well-written, well-acted, engrossing show. This is one of Netflix's underrated gems.

Solid acting especially from the two main girls. Believable but silly, fun fun...it should probably be an 8 quality wise but an extra point for just being loveable. Season two comes out in one day!
