Women don't sweat...they GLOW! Get in the ring and get ready to rumble because GLOW is coming to Netflix Friday, June 23.

About GLOW:
Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the 80s, GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women's wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin) a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.


GLOW is created by Liz Flahive (Homeland, Nurse Jackie) and Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie, Orange Is The New Black, Weeds). Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann executive produce alongside Flahive and Mensch who are serving as showrunners.

Watched the first episode of S1 and fell in love with it. Thought it was really funny and had such a strong cast. I can't wait to watch more, and I'm glad I started watching just in time for S2.

Has anyone else watched this? Sorry if there's already a thread.

I only watched the first seasons but I feel like this is a bad move from a Netflix business perspective... next one was slated to be it's final season anyway and would have wrapped up the show. By the sounds of it, it ended unfinished instead.

Cancelling shows without a conclusion is not a path Netflix wants to go down too easily; people are far more reluctant to get into a new show if they don't feel confident that it'll have a conclusion of some sort. If people start feeling like Netflix will cancel without consideration for the audience then their viewership of scripted drama will drop. It's that simple really. I personally am of the belief that shows should ALWAYS get a conclusion; and that "early cancellations" should always get a slot for maybe a 2h special or 4-episode mini season or whatever to find some way to round things off.

e.g. I have MASSIVE respect for The CW for bringing One Tree Hill back after ending for a "surprise bonus" half season to properly conclude. Also the "fan power" that allowed the "Serenity" movie to happen to conclude Firefly. Just makes a huge difference.
