Few subjects would seem to interest me less than women's wrestling, but by GLOW's end, as this tacky vision comes to rowdy fruition, I was cheering for them all.
This is the kind of show you'll have a blast watching, and is also compelling enough that you will likely binge the whole thing a weekend. And isn't that the mark of a truly great Netflix series?
GLOW is often very funny, but it also plays (and works) as drama, a balance that would more often be found in an hourlong show. The half-hour format, though, is just right, leaving a viewer eager to bounce and roll through the 10-episode first season.
When the training and scripting and interpersonal dynamics finally come together in the ring, it's as satisfying as any genuine (fake) wrestling match.
