GLOW (2017)	comment	GLOW is a dramedy from Netflix which tells a fictionalized version of the characters and gimmicks of the syndicated all-women wrestling promotion ''Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" or GLOW, which ran from 1986 to 1990.The show stars Alison Brie as Ruth Wilder, a broke, down-on-her-luck aspiring actor in 1980s LA, who finds one last chance for stardom when she's thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women's wrestling.Alongside other colorful newcomers, Ruth has to deal with estranged friend Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin), a former soap opera actor who left show business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture-perfect life is not what it seems.The first season premiered on June 23, 2017; the trailer can be found here. After a successful second season and third season, it was renewed for a fourth and final season on September 20, 2019. However, on October 5, 2020, it was revealed that Netflix had canceled production on this final season due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, ending the series at three seasons.IDW published a GLOW comicbook series in 2019 and followed with GLOW vs the Babyface in 2019 to 2020.Beware of unmarked Season 1 and 2 spoilers.

GLOW (2017) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Although the show is based on a real-life wrestling promotion, all the characters are fictional, oftentimes based on the people behind the real GLOW. Carmen/Machu Picchu, for example, is an obvious takeoff on Emily Dole, a.k.a. Mount Fiji, while the admittedly difficult-to-work-with director Sam Sylvia is based on real-life B-movie director Matt Cimber. There are, however, a few Race Lift cases here and there, such as the Caucasian John Morrison playing the equivalent of the Mexican-American Mando Guerrero as the girls' trainer.

GLOW (2017) / int_148e222c	comment	Crosses the Line Twice: invoked Invoked by Sam when he is called on the offensively stereotypical personas assigned to the women. He claims that it is going to be so over the top that the audience will find itself seriously thinking about their prejudices. The women think it is bullshit. Invoked by Cherry and TammÃ© when they get the team otherwise known as the Beatdown Biddies (two young women playing kayfabe old ladies) to dress up like Klansmen. During the above mentioned Challenger incident is already crossing the line when Zoya is making fun of the crew just before the accident, but if you look at Debbie's face as she is watching the launch on a TV off screen, it becomes clear that Ruth is still speaking as the shuttle has exploded and is accidentally mocking the ongoing tragedy live on TV.

GLOW (2017) / int_167b037a	comment	Workout Fanservice: The trailer features Debbie getting a Male Gaze while rehearsing with Ruth. "The Good Twin" episode featured Liberty Belle leading Machu Picchu, Melrose, and Junkchain in a Robeks exercise class that was designed to "sweat those sorrows away!" It's subverted because we do get a good look at Liberty Belle's legs and butt, but also see her exaggerated and crying face.

GLOW (2017) / int_16838478	comment	The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: In season 2, it's never explicitly stated that Florian died of AIDS, but given that the show's set in 1985, when HIV/AIDS was highly stigmatized and seen as a death sentence, it's not hard to extrapolate based on the fact that he frequented gay clubs, the hospital says his cause of death was "technically pneumonia", it's mentioned that most funeral homes won't take his body, and Bash has a team come sanitize his entire house after he hears the news. In season 3, the characters participate in a gala at the Libertine that is meant to raise money for AIDS research. It is interrupted by arson and when they evacuate they see hate messages sprayed on the walls. When Bash is having a nervous breakdown over his inability to suppress his homosexuality, he states that he does not want to die, presumably of AIDS.

In the season 2 premiere, Ruth takes the cast to a shopping mall to film an intro sequence, though this gets her in trouble with Sam for going behind his back, and Reggie fired when she speaks up in defense of Ruthnote Sam re-hires Reggie as a favor to Ruth after Ruth's leg is broken. The other girls say they actually like it better when Ruth is directing them instead of Sam. In the season 2 finale, Sam officially appoints her as his co-director, though this is partially because she's still recovering from her leg injury.

Rhonda's Britannica character plans for having a horse to ride on is a reference to the very British Godiva in the real show. Stacy and Dawn changing their characters to mutants because playing old ladies was hurting their self-esteem is by far the closest thing on the show to something the real GLOW did.

In-Universe, when GLOW's first episode is almost finished with a crowd-satisfying victory for the All-American Face, Sam injects a new epilogue in which the Welfare Queen comes out of nowhere to steal her crown. Ruth and Debbie protest, but Sam insists that the show needed a cliffhanger to drive the next's episode's plot. In the Season 2 finale, Carmen is booked to win the title in the battle royal, but Sam calls an audible and asks a still-recovering Ruth to take her headphones off and eliminate all three women still in the ring â€“ Debbie, Carmen, and Sheila â€“ by kicking them as she descends into the ring via zipline.

Liberty Belle is supposed to the be fan favorite of the scripted rivalry, but Debbie is one of the biggest antagonists off the set. Meanwhile, Zoya plays on peoples' prejudices against communism, whereas Ruth is a very sweet and loving girl. Inverted with Welfare Queen. She's supposed to be a money-grubbing Lower-Class Lout who showcases the worst stereotypes surrounding plus-sized African American women but Tamme is a humble and generous woman who acts as a Team Mom to the younger girls, a mentor and confidant to Debbie (a younger mother of a son), and has worked hard for most of her adulthood to help raise a son on a Stanford scholarship. Also inverted with Fortune Cookie and Beirut the Mad Bomber, the heels who play against fears surrounding communism and radical Islamic terrorism and the ignorance against Asian culture and Middle Eastern culture. Jenny and Arthie are nice girls who are well assimilated into American culture with Immigrant Parents.

GLOW (2017) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In season 3, the characters are finally successful with the Vegas show providing them with steady work and good paychecks. However, this type of lifestyle also has downsides that take their toll on them. Debbie has to commute back and forth between Los Angeles and Las Vegas to see her son and she misses his first steps. Ruth's boyfriend has to stay in Los Angeles and they have trouble maintaining the relationship. Sheila's wolf persona prevents her from moving into more serious acting roles. Tamme is injured but the regular performance schedule does not give her time to properly heal. Cherry realizes that if she gets pregnant she will have to leave the show and might never return while getting in debt due to compulsive gambling. Carmen hits a creative peak as she realizes that if she stays with the show she will never get to do the type of wrestling she really wants. When Bash decides that he needs to leave Vegas and pulls his money out of the Rhapsody show, more than fifty people lose their jobs right before Christmas. Sam has a history in the business of being an arrogant and selfish jerk with a litany of flops and bad projects. Thus, when he tries to sell a script of Justine's, he finds it hard to be taken seriously. One executive was a former assistant of Sam's who points out all the horrible crap Sam put him through on sets and now has the power to toss him out of the office. Sheila has apparently wanted to be an actor since she showed up to the GLOW casting call, but she consistently resists removing her wolf outfit for any reason. In Season 3, when she starts taking acting lessons, the teacher tells her that she'll never get any roles if she insists on always dressing like a wolf. This forces her to have to choose between her acting career and her wolf lifestyle. Tamme has been putting her show business dreams on the back burner while her son grew up and she enters it (and wrestling) as a middle-aged woman. In Season 3, she develops back pain and tries to self-medicate while still doing the lifting and throwing in her Welfare Queen routine, she ends up almost physically crippled and may have to give up wrestling.

GLOW (2017) / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Both Season 2 and 3 ends with these. Season 2 ends with GLOW getting screwed over by the network just because Ruth refused to have sex with its boss, not only that but the network has the rights to the GLOW characters, thus making a jump to another network legally impossible in its current form, Justine is taken away from Sam by her mother and Debbie realizes the good man she loss with Mark and how vindictive she is. However, they are invited to do live-shows in Las Vegas in the Fan Tan Hotel & Casino with good pay with both Ruth and Debbie taking baby steps towards mending their friendship. Season 3 ends with the Rhapsody Show closing down after Bash is convinced by Debbie to take out his investment in the Fan Tan to buy a struggling Network after their contract with the casino expires, while Bash now struggles with his repressed homosexual impulses and desire to stay married with Rhonda, who's now doubting their marriage. After the live-show ends and everybody starts returning to their homes or going on a vacation, Debbie, in a act of kindness and respect, offers Ruth the chance to direct a planned reboot of GLOW with new characters but Ruth angrily refuses because of her desire to be a respected actor and not wanting to be in indebted to her, possibly straining their relationship again, while Carmen decides to leave GLOW to go on a wrestling tour with her older brother Kurt. However, the other girls now have a better understanding and respect for each other with Sheila abandoning her She-Wolf persona and taking an active interest in acting and theatre, Cherry rekindling her relationship with her husband Keith and Sam (who's having health problems) not only having a better relationship with Justine but actually helping her getting her first screenplay turn into a movie.

GLOW (2017) / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sam Sylvia. He'll be the first person to tell you that he's hard to work with. He's a habitual coke user and womanizer who says cruel things to the women, demands complete control over his product despite not caring to know about the finer points of wrestling, and isn't a fan of apologies or admitting his faults. Hell, he even hates babies, and thinks that they're boring because they're obviously too young to party. And while he tries not to show it, he does have a tender side, such as the time he drove Ruth to the hospital for her abortion, and didn't fire Justine despite the fact she stole his video camera and tried to frame Rhonda up for it. He also stands up for Carmen when her wrestling family comes to take her away from GLOW, even taking a backhand to the face without being deterred until Carmen herself goes willing with her family to avoid more violence. Bash's mother. She treats the entire enterprise as little better than a scam, but once she meets the girls and hears them speak, she decides to help them with a venue for the show. In season three, she's prepared to see Rhonda as a gold-digging immigrant, but when Rhonda confides in her about Bash's inability to manage money and how Rhonda has tried to make him more self-reliant, Birdie appreciates her honesty and has her lawyer release Bash's inheritance.

GLOW (2017) / int_55232afa	comment	Politically Incorrect Hero: Sam Sylvia indulges in a number of negative stereotypes to create his characters, such as "Beirut the Terrorist" and "Welfare Queen," which cause the show's minority cast members some embarrassment. He claims he is using them to make a point about society's assumptions. Whether this is true or if he's just willfully catering to the prejudices of his 1980s audience to make a buck is unclear. He mentions he's a former civil rights activist, but it's also implied that he just joined to get laid. Keith says that Sam is "more sexist than racist," which is not a ringing endorsement. In season 2, he betrays some Jerk with a Heart of Gold moments by being totally unfazed by Yolanda and Arthie getting together and doesn't want to see Yolanda perform a striptease act since he claims to â€œsee her as a person nowâ€� and even pays her to keep her top on until he leaves the club. Melanie is somewhat Vitriolic Best Buds with Jenny, who bristles at Melanie's penchant for casual racist jokes about Asians, until in "Freaky Tuesday" when Jenny hears Melanie do a way over the top racist caricature of Fortune Cookie, which was already a pretty racist stereotype. The conflict does get resolved during the Campfire Character Exploration.

The next episode, she snorts a line of coke before her match with Ruth, and appears to shoot on her during the finish, breaking her ankle and taking her out of action for at least two months, per doctor's orders. While she claims it was all an accident, especially when both women loudly argue in Ruth's hospital room in episode 7, she quietly calls a truce shortly after the argument, though her friendship with Ruth is still far from being repaired.

Far from being offended, Melrose is delighted at the thought that she will get to sleep with this very handsome man and also get paid for it. It turns out that he is a prostitute, and had mistaken her for a client. After they have sex they argue over which of them has to pay.

GLOW (2017) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Several to Back to the Future: Sam's screenplay Mothers and Lovers is said to share more than a few plot points with the film. In the first season finale, the GLOW wrestlers recruit people waiting to see the film at a theater, which also has the DeLorean on display. Sam is in possession of a sample script that reads a lot like it could have been an early draft of A Boy and His Dog. The episode title "Debbie Does Something" is a reference to Debbie Does Dallas. When Cherry tries to give her some tough advice, Melrose tells her that she doesn't have time for this Louis Gossett Jr. and Richard Gere thing. Melrose makes another reference to the movie when Ruth gets carried by Gregory after her leg gets broken by Debbie. While attending a bris, Ruth mentions Yentl and learns that everyone in attendance is a big fan, so she sings a song from it. When performing as Zoya's good twin in America, Ruth says "What a country!" several times. This is the catchphrase of Russian-American comedian Yakov Smirnoff, who was popular in The '80s. Justine wears the shirts of a number of punk bands, including the Dead Milkmen and the Germs. The subplot between Black Magic and Britannica in "The Good Twin" carries several references to Weird Science and The Little Mermaid. When Bash and Debbie go to a conference in season two, they realize they don't have much in the way of material to court networks, so Bash gets the idea to copy the whisper campaign from The Muppets Take Manhattan, explaining the plot in more detail than necessary until Debbie picks up the gist of it.

Stemming from TammÃ© trying to play a biddy to cope with her back pain and exacerbated by Debbie spiting Bash's authority, the girls (and even Sam) switch personas for their final show (and then some) Ruth as Liberty Belle Debbie as Zoya the Destroya Cherry as Melrose Carmen as Welfare Queen Rhonda as Macchu Picchu Sheila as Liza Minnelli TammÃ© as Ethel Rosenblatt Melanie as Fortune Cookie Stacey as Beirut the Mad Bomber Dawn as Junkchain Arthie as Edna Rosenblatt Reggie as a nun Jenny as Britannica Yolanda as Black Magic (or rather, Bruja) Magic Sam as Referee (taking over for Keith)

GLOW (2017) / int_f19e8a55	type	Bad "Bad Acting"
GLOW (2017) / int_f19e8a55	comment	Bad "Bad Acting": Ruth's attempts to treat the project like a regular acting job result in her giving a terrible first audition. Even after she researches pro wrestling a bit more it still takes her a while to nail exactly what she should be aiming for. Cherry Bang's attempt at starring in a cop show goes very badly. Even when she can remember her lines, her delivery is extremely bad. Sam eventually lays it out for her: She is a stuntwoman who has no training or experience with standard line delivery. If she starts taking classes and working at it now she can eventually become an actor, but as it is now she simply doesn't have the skills. She ends up returning to wrestling because of it. Most of the GLOW girls are not trained actors, so their performances are often either wooden or hammy, though hammy is basically what the show is going for. Reggie in particular has no stage charisma and obviously got the job purely on physicality.

GLOW (2017) / int_f34a4c1e	comment	Inverted with Welfare Queen. She's supposed to be a money-grubbing Lower-Class Lout who showcases the worst stereotypes surrounding plus-sized African American women but Tamme is a humble and generous woman who acts as a Team Mom to the younger girls, a mentor and confidant to Debbie (a younger mother of a son), and has worked hard for most of her adulthood to help raise a son on a Stanford scholarship.

GLOW (2017) / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: Sam's initial draft of the show's story involves a Post Apocalyptic setting and lots of complicated backstory. It's an exhaustive process for the girls to talk him out of it and settle for simple characters and storylines that are easily relatable and understandable.

GLOW (2017) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Early in season 1, Sam describes the plot of a movie he has been trying to get made for over a decade, and it sounds like a piece of shit exploitation B-Movie. It's about a horny teen who travels back in time to the 1950s, and has his mother try to have sex with him. In the penultimate episode of the season, he describes the plot to the band at a party...and they all tell him they've already seen it, as it's almost the same story as Back to the Future, which had just premiered that week.

GLOW (2017) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: The rich but nice kid Bash shows that he's a good guy in his first few episodes by seeing the best in his wrestlers. He brushes off Sam's dislike for Ruth, saying she's like a girl next door, and changes Carmen from a heel to a face after noticing her sweet personality. When Ruth reveals that the show is doomed because she ran out on a Casting Couch moment with the channel's executive, Sam becomes outraged, not at Ruth for screwing the show, but at the executive for putting her through that. This is in contrast to Debbie, who criticized Ruth for not playing the game. Bash's haughty, conservative mother is impressed by Ruth's speech at the fundraiser, and while she won't give Bash any more money, she is willing to let them shoot the pilot for GLOW in a ballroom the family owns.
