GLOW: Season 1


Came for the Alison Brie, stayed for the Marc Maron, will return for the whole cast.

This is a textbook example of "the whole first season is the pilot." It's got a very Orange Is the New Black vibe to it, introducing us to an array of colorful (no, really - come on, not like that) female characters with different hang-ups and motivations and drives, largely at first through the eyes of a relatively uninteresting and unsympathetic pretty lady. The ten-episode season sort of took its time fleshing out the supporting cast, which was to the show's early detriment but eventual strength. I definitely recommend this one, and what's more, I'm already looking forward to Season 2.
