After watching mediocre series, GLOW was a breath of fresh air. Every single character had texture and were so compelling to watch. I found myself invested in every one of them. I felt I was watching real people, as opposed to actors acting like real people and what made this possible was the writing AND the talent. What really sold this series to me was the true depiction of the 1980s; the cinematography, the soundtrack, the casting (this is how people looked in the 80s) and the grit. Such an awesome production. Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron and Chris Lowell really stood out for me but the whole cast were amazing. Kia Stevens is also a talent to look out for. Her voice alone stood out for me; it was soothing yet powerful. I digress...The writing was so brilliantly done that I felt every nuance was necessary and added to the overall story. Whether it was a pause, an unspoken word, a sigh, every bit of it was crucial and made the script meaty and real. I can't stand a script that sounds pedestrian and forced, like it has been overly rehearsed. The GLOW writers have the conversational flow of script writing down pat. They deserve awards!!!Another element that makes this series what it is, is the chemistry between cast members. I believe them; Ruth and Debbie's tension but care for one another, Sam and Bash's good cop, bad cop routine and the ladies ensemble as a whole. There's drama, suspense, COMEDY and great music! A winning combination.It's so good I've watched both seasons twice. Bring on season 3!

I had low expectations but really enjoyed this show. Maron was the biggest surprise. Warm funny obscene but winning.

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!
