Glow

A new Netflix comedy about a group of struggling actresses in the 1980's who join up for an all-female wrestling league called the "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling". Its got some good lines, some intriguing characters, and Alison Brie gets her tits out.

How could I not watch whatever the **** that is?

I mean who wouldn't want to watch it.

Is that Marc Maron? Also, Alison Brie looks so gaunt; did they make her lose weight for the role or something?

It is, and he absolutely nails the role of a sleezy '80's Hollywood director. As to Alison Brie's physique, yeah I thought she looked a little gaunt too, although it could just be that I've only ever seen her in Community where she never really wore tight clothing so I never noticed it. I'm only 2 episodes in so maybe we'll learn later on in the series that she's on the patented '80's cocaine diet.

Been watching Glow. Pretty good so far, reminds me a little of OITNB with a diverse funny cast of females. Wasn't expecting much before watching. Would definitely recommend.

Oh I bet he would; that seems like the perfect role for him. (I remember watching the first five or so episodes of his other, older show on netflix and although I liked it, it seemed a bit hit or miss) Yeah, I've only seen her in Mad Men and Community as well so I suppose it's just strange seeing her look so wiry and gaunt in comparison, is all. It's mostly in the face, I think.

Personally, I want a netflix show about luchadores. That would be amazing I think.

Show was decent. I loved the wrestlers cameo's. I wish they wouldn't have made the producer/money guy a trust fund baby. The guy was a crook but not a trust fund baby. Ultimately they just used GLOW as the setting for a TV series and had no interest in telling the actual story. Which is fine I guess.

I also think it's hilarious that they hired Chavo Guerrero to choreograph the wrestling parts but gave the part that portrayed his uncle to John Morrison.

I got you.

I guess this is the only chance you'll ever get to be a whiny nerd about an inauthentic wrestling adaptation so I will refrain from mocking you.
