Haha ep 7 and a certain match

 

[DeathyBoy]

5 down and yeah this is fucking fantastic.

Same.

And dear God do I love how it's taking the puss out of wrestling while also pointing out that it's awesome entertainment done wrote.

I love living in a world where the best wrestling show on TV is a 30 minute Netflix show starring Alison Brie.

Sense 8 died, GLOW lives. Fair trade.

 

[forgeforsaken]

Well someone had to do it, so here's my mapping of the in ring personas in the Netflix show to the old show

Spoiler

Zoya the Destoryer - Colonel Ninotchka
Liberty Bell - Americana (there were a few USA characters including one named Liberty, but Americana I think is the best fit)
Machu Pichu - Mount Fiji
The Beatdown Bittys - The Housewives
Junk Chain - Justice
Melrose - Hollywood
Beirut - Palestina
Britannica - Zelda the Brain
The She Wolf - Dementia
Scab - MTV
Vicky Viking - Matilda the Hun
Fortune Cookie - Little Fiji
The Welfare Queen - Big Bad Mama (I guess?)

Director guy looks like a slightly older ryan gosling to me lol.

 

[realwords]

Do you mean Rhonda/Britannica? That's the singer Kate Nash.

Thanks.

 

[Diprosalic]

is this Marc Maron's big break?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Thanks.

You think someone called "Britannica" is Australian?

And she says in the first episode "Well, I'm from London so..."

 

[metalslimer]

This show is awesome. Washes the bad taste of orange is the new black right out

 

[BronsonLee]

is this Marc Maron's big break?

I haven't finished yet but his character is far more than just the skeezy director I thought it was going to be

Same with Bash the producer

 

[Mafro]

What's the name of the Australian access?

She's english.

[Dereck]

2 eps in and I hate Ruth so much

lol

 

[nubbe]

This show is brilliant and Alison Brie is smoking

 

[shadowkat]

EP 4:

Spoiler

"Did you direct Star Wars?"

"No, I didn't direct Star Wars."

Profound look of disappointment

Loving this so far.

 

[Fury451]

I love this so much that I'm already fearful it's going to fall of the Orange cliff. Then again I was never a big fan of that so maybe it's unfounded.

 

[gun_haver]

is this Marc Maron's big break?

the guy interviewed obama while he was president in his own garage.

it's probably his first legitimate acting thing, but maron's been very famous/influential for years.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Kate McKinnon would be great in this show. I could totally see her playing the limo driver chick.

Anyway, finished episode 3. Show's still great, though the

Spoiler

miscarriage stuff in episode 2 was a bit much.

Yes it was. But that episode 2 stuff goes away and the show gets way better.

I mean, it's not like it was gonna have any competition with RAM or Impact.

 

[DominoKid]

When Debbie realized it's just another soap opera

that's all i ever try to get people to understand

yeah I found that weird. Didn't really get what they were going for with all of that.

I think there are warning signs that this could become bad already, it's got a certain style to it that I associate with Jenji Kohan, although I know she's just a producer on this and isn't writing it. I kind of don't like her as a writer, uh, at all, despite the fact her shows tend to have interesting set ups.

Hopefully it stays good though. The subject matter is pretty unique, and it's been funnier than I expected it to be so far, which is promising. It's hokey though, for sure, could easily go off the deep end with that.

 

[ZeroX03]

Sam and Bash constantly stealing the show, god damn.

 

[Oddduck]

I love this so much that I'm already fearful it's going to fall of the Orange cliff. Then again I was never a big fan of that so maybe it's unfounded.

I'm feeling optimistic about GLOW's future for two reasons.

1. Alison Brie is a better leading star than the actress who plays Piper. Brie has more acting range than Taylor Schilling.
2. Jenji Kohan (Weeds, Orange is the New Black) isn't the showrunner or creator.

 

[Tobor]

Fantastic show. I couldn't stop until I finished. Brie and Maron are perfect.

And man, Bash is my homeboy. I just want to hang out with him and the robot in 1985.

 

[blame space]

When Debbie realized it's just another soap opera

that's all i ever try to get people to understand

yeah this was really good

 

[charsace]

Lol at ep 7.

Watched the whole thing and it is great. just the right length at 35 min an ep.

 

[ezekial45]

This show is fucking great. Just finished Ep 7, and I'm kinda floored right now. I was worried this was gonna be a show sorta poking fun at Wrestling, but they totally do right by it.

 

[BronsonLee]

Sam continually not understanding how to get in/out of the ring is my aesthetic

 

[Einchy]

Episode 1

Spoiler

Holy shit, naked Alison Brie.

Liked it a lot, really funny.

 

[Shadow780]

Ep 5: I feel so bad for Debbie

Spoiler

that the first wrestling match she ever saw had Alex Riley in it

Steele Horse had more charisma than his entire WWE and NXT run combined.

 

[pbayne]

Damn this show has some great one-liners. So quotable.

 

[Fantastical]

Finished ep 3. So far so good. Really enjoying it.
