GLOW

GLOW (2017) 

GLOW Is the New Orange Is the New Black just given substantially less space (both in terms of footage and the number of episodes in the series), in precisely captured 80s portraying environment of female wannabe wrestling and with an excellent central duo of Alison Brie with no make-up (she literally gave everything to this character) and Marc Maron in Lloydov-Kaufman's style. Simply put, it´s a comedy drama built on well-written and played characters with a somewhat overplayed course (however partly it is part of the intention). However, it is still difficult not to get into it, even if you truly hate 80s and especially wrestling and you are chauvinistic swine. The driving force of the second season is the same, but not the third one, sadly. A change was needed, but the authors don't know what to do about the relocation to Las Vegas. The "clearly defined common goal" disappeared. The show itself became redundant, and in order for it to work well in a new setting, some of the characters adjusted overnight. It's still good, funny and dramatic (especially the fifth, sixth and final episode), that´s for sure. However, it is already too standard and smooth. | S1: 4/5 | S2: 4/5 | S3: 3/5 | (27.09.2017)
