Who's Ready for GLOW?

[jaybee]

I jut finished up episode 1 where the "unrehearsed catfight" happens. Needless to say, very disappointing in what it was. However, with that being said, I can understand why it was done the way it was. Just had high hopes for that scene!

I skimmed through the season, and there doesn't seem to be much sexy material. In fact, I could even find the match from one of the trailers in any of the episodes - i.e. the one at 2:02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xm1s4obgY0

I'm on episode 6. There has been some nudity and some sexy 80's leotard shots but no catfights or real wrestling yet (there was a nipple tweak during a brief match though ). )Despite the lack of wrestling/catfights I actually like the show. I'm having fun trying to figure out who what actor is portraying. I don't think any of the actual GLOW girls will be represented by name but you can tell who some of the characters are supposed to be. Col. Ninotchka, and Americana are definitely being represented as well as Big Bad Mamma, Mt. Fiji, Hollywood and a few others. Again I'm interested in exactly how much of this story is true expecially the Americana and Ninotchka storyline.

Does the original Hollywood, Jeanne Hollywood Basone,  make an appearance?

No cameos from past performers unless they've changed so much I couldn't recognize them. There was definitely no Hollywood though. I give the series a thumbs up. There wasn't a lot of wrestling till the last 2 episodes with somewhat a main event at the end. It was basically about the characters personal lives with a rather surprising revelation in the final 2 episodes. I recommend it especially if you're a fan of Orange is the new black type series or GLOW itself.
Also on a side note I found the main character annoying as hell

Like the recent movie CATFIGHT, this is a comedy.  Comedy, I tell ya.  A girl fight played for laughs will never ever ring my bell.

BTW, the fight at 2:02 in the trailer is in the very first episode.

Apparently you are not familiar with the source material. GLOW has always been a ridiculous over the top comedy wrestling promotion. Only a handful of the girls throughout the shows entire run were actual athletes. Most were actresses who answered a casting call to put on a wrestling "show". It was never supposed  to be an adult oriented show granted most of the outfits were VERY revealing. It was almost like a live action cartoon with its colorful and over the top characters and stereotypes.

To quote Rin, "Like the recent movie CATFIGHT, this is a comedy.  Comedy, I tell ya.  A girl fight played for laughs will never ever ring my bell."

BINGO!!! That's why I never liked GLOW!

I just finished binge watching e4-10. Betty Giplin (Debbie) seems like she was born to wear leotards and tights! I'm definitely going to watch season 2 if there is a second season.

I binged watched the season this weekend and was happy with what I saw.
