I'm 4 episodes in on GLOW on Netflix and I like it, it is funny and just has something about it that is entertaining. Kia Stevens aka Awesome Kong is funny in it and Marc Maron is top stuff in this series, I suggest watching it...

I watched all 10 episodes and I want more, what a fun series and I like the surprise real pro wrestlers who appear in the show. I didn't go into this thinking it'll be a direct copy of 80's wrestling and the show was top stuff, but there is plenty of 80's goodness in this show...

Completely agree. The gal who plays the Russian is a great actress and her costume at the end was great. I was a huge GLOW Mark back in the day. Mostly because i was 17 and at the height of my super powers. But i enjoyed the over the top story telling, the awful wrestling with some gems mixed in and the cheese factor was very high. All these elements are in the series. Most of the wrestlers are amalgamations of the original wrestlers but it still works. I look forward to season two.

Alison Brie plays Ruth/Zoya the Destroyer and her build up in this show was really good along with most of the other characters. I too liked her costume at the end and I'm looking forward to where the show goes in Season Two... |

We are 7 episodes in and love it so far. My wife was skeptical of the series, but has been hooked.I think it not really being a wrestling show helped.
It took me a while to figure out that was Awesome Kong. Love the Welfare Queen character!

Yea Kong looked less scary than usual. Great Feature, not sure I like Ruth and Debbie though. Loved Justine though.
