Here's another third season of a Netflix original that didn't live up to the high water mark it set last year; fortunately, GLOW was still very good! There are still just so many characters running around in this thing - I won't say too many, because they're all fantastic - but enough to leave you wanting more of everyone. (And hey, that's a good thing, right?) The women's wrestling production has moved from late night cable TV to a Las Vegas residence here in Season 3, and that means a lot of different things for a lot of different characters. Some take comfort in the steady work and sameness of the show they put on every single night; others feel caught in a dead end career-wise or creatively stifled. The show still excels at "episodes," by which I mean every year it seems like GLOW has a solid season with two or three very specific and very memorable episodes. (This year: the one where they all switch roles for a night, the one where they go camping in the dessert, and the Christmas special.) In short, it's a great show and I'd love to see it get renewed for a fourth season. Is there any higher praise than that? (Yes.)
