In the second season, Sam gets his unfinished personal work, while Roth tries to make last-minute changes to the group. Glow hosts her first live show at the gym, but things get out of control when Carmen suffers from fear of the stage and ignites. Competitions and exciting events are raged.
The second season of GLOW feels like a miracle. After the wild but sometimes ungainly first season, creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch have figured out the ideal version of their 80s ladies-wrestling satire, and executed it perfectly.
This show-within-a-show explores the pressures, conflicts, and hilarious moments tied up with issues like sexism in the workplace and gender inequality. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of hairspray and spandex to go around.
What I truly came to appreciate about the series this season is that it could tell this layered story of women fighting for recognition and their place in the world while playing homage to all things 1980s.
A marvellous tale of scrappy underdogs that both respected and sent-up its origins, with a cracking script and a well-selected cast of both actors and characters.
