Spoiler Ep5
Holy fucking shit
There's something hugely impactful about her personal circumstance and the match. They played the scene amazingly and the post scene
when Liberty Belle finally understands the soap opera aspect

Finished the whole thing today. Pretty much had to.
It's really great overall. Loved the attention to detail and (as a wrestling fan) that they took it at least somewhat seriously - the cameos were great and I was so happy to see Kia Stevens in a pretty substantial role.
Late series spoilers:
Anyway, I loved the show and the characters. No dead weight in the bunch. Hoping another season won't be far off - I'd love more half-hour comedies (dramedies?) on Netflix.

Late series spoilers:
The one thing I did not really care for is that it sort of felt like Debra's husband got off too easily - Ruth gets pretty much all the blame from the other characters and the show about the affair but it seems like he was the instigator. It takes two, after all. You could argue that's representative of the social patterns of the time but it bugged me all the same. Especially in light of the abortion episode (which was itself pretty great both for its directness and honesty as well as the dynamic between Ruth and Sam)

Just finished, The show was decent with a few standout episodes.I went in with a lot of hype so maybe my expectations were too high. Wanted to fall in love with the ensemble cast but most of them didn't that those revealing or emotional moments to pull me in. That might be the cost of doing 30 min episodes instead of hour long ones. The second half definitely was stronger than the first and by the end I was wanting more which is a promising sign for future seasons.

Will this affect Bojack Horseman in any way?

Anyone who has finished it serious question is there any rape? Asking for a friend.
Why would this of all things affect Bojack?

Brie voices Diane, so if it's super successful it could impact scheduling if it gets multiple seasons.That said, Bojack is just voicework so it's not a big time sink.

Nobody in WWE was involved in this so I'm guessing they ignore it

Did they do something to Alison Brie for this other than no makeup? She looks skinner than normal.
Besides that, I really liked the pilot. Brought back so many memories from my childhood growing up watching GLOW on Saturday nights. And the ladies, hell everyone, is great on this show. Think I'll keep with it. Mel is my favorite so far.
Also has a lot more nudity than I was expecting from Brie.

I would imagine not, given that Brie would be able to do her voice acting gig anywhere. A similar conundrum happened during Community with Joel Mchale still taping Soup episodes regularly throughout the run.

I'm a huge fan of Marc Maron since his Air America days. I hope this show does well.
On a somewhat related note, is Maron a fan of prowrestling by any chance? I remember he would have Mick Foley on his old Air America radio show, and he did interview CM Punk shortly before he left WWE.

And just watched all of it in a entire sitting wow their show was great. I use to be big into wrestling when I was younger definately played into the nostalgia factor for me and I remember watching glow before. The final episode
did Ruth really pre plan that whole story line or was it all improvised . I couldn't tell, I know they mentioned it to Sam but he had already known and flipped the script.
He's the main reason I'm liking the show so far.
so that WAS morrison? I thought it was him but wasnt sure.
With how the cameos and injokes are done so far it absolutely has to be a reference to her.

Yeah they played that incredibly well. I'm super blown away by how good this show is
I've watched the first 3 eps now. It's surprisingly funny. Marc Maron made me laugh hard once in episode 1 AND in episode 2 and I kind of don't like the guy, so he's doing some good work here. Alison Brie is also good.
I'm not really sold on the ensemble cast yet though, and I might never be. It feels to reminiscent of OITNB - everyone's got a 'funny' character trait and it is dangerously close to hokey in moments. I hope they don't start getting on my nerves and maybe even develop into good characters, at least a couple of them.

Ep 6:
This show is very good
I'm so glad that they showed that you can just work together as wrestlers without having to be best friends or forgive each other. Liberty should not forgive Ruth (and I hope she doesn't)
This show is very good

This is enjoyable. Wrestling is hilarious.
It's exactly the right length.
Yeah, I'm not complaining. Netflix needs more of these shows I can watch in bed before going to sleep. With all these 50 minute shows I'm usually staring and scrolling at the list looking for something to watch, then turn it off because 30 minutes has passed and it's time for sleep.
