Glow is about a completely dysfunctional group of women wrestlers, American style in the 80's. That sentence alone should spark everyone's interest. And it keeps on giving. This series let's its characters screw up to triumph brilliantly. It's mix of sex, drugs and wrestling is a stroke of genius.
I know it's high praise. But don't worry going in with too high expectations. Glow will not disappoint. If anything, it'll still blow you away, even if you see the perfect 10's. It's well deserved. The actors seem to relish their roles. It becomes hard even to pick a favorite character. Every episode has you rooting for someone new.
It's characters are all desperately seeking both love and success. They often don't get it but it doesn't matter. They become a team against all odds and persevere. The build ups to the finales are so well crafted I frequently found myself having goosebumps when all the drama outside the ring comes together when the wrestling starts.
It's just... see it.
