Our Style Is Wild And You Know You Can't Tame Us: GLOW on Netflix

and not to judge but a lot of tv writers seem like the types who would be grossed out at even those maxi pad ads that use blue liquid as a period blood stand in.

No doubt! Precisely why I mentioned it at all. It's very rare that tampons make it into tampon ads, let alone TV shows or movies. The Kotex red dot campaign was radical.

the pregancy test scene was a trip, i had no idea they were so involved

They used to be! I feel like I read about the whole rigamarole in a YA book once.

i liked this show, especially the generosity and affection the show has for all its characters, it seems to love them for their weaknesses

I like how the only functional relationship is cherry+keith

yeah otm

She-Wolf is so awesome. I find the execution of authenticity of her character inspiring, totally resonate

yeah she's great

I laughed hard at Head Over Heels by TFF being synced with pizza delivery. It's a song that I find hard to divorce from Donnie Darko, but attaching it to slices transcends that

pizza dude had A+ hair imo

I enjoyed this. When's the 2nd season commissioning announcement?

announced 8/11.

just wrapped this up last night. the ultimate positive vibes show, with the right amount of bummer notes and none that were there for the sake of being a bummer. Alison Brie is pretty amazing but equally good is Betty Gilpin, if only for her astonishing reaction shots and facial expressions throughout. they should award them both Emmys right now.

and it felt like the right show to watch the past couple of weeks.

omg

:D

no wait

15 min ago i'm in line at a store and alison brie in full Zoya makeup is behind me. no story beyond that but it took me a minute to register and i'm still in a daze.

and it's just an amazing show, truly.

SERIOUS!? ok thats awesome

I was wondering why this awesome looking woman was dressed up for an '80s party and then I heard her say something to the clerk and i recognized her voice and I think my eyes turned into literal saucers.

omg

woah

I like the idea that Alison Brie goes to the shops dressed as Zoya.

I'd die if she'd denounced the capitalist system while reluctantly making her purchase.

omg

that would be a+

my wife loves the show so much, she has never been more jealous of a celeb sighting. Like I'm jealous of her mid-''90s lunch with Royal Trux.

:D

June 29 is so far away! (Sorry for the false alarm bump.)

oh man i think this is the only tv show i'm actually excited about.

yeah it’s v exciting

sometimes a watercooler show will be returning and even some of the ones i like start to feel like a chore, bc so many of them disappear up their own ass or they're grim "life is bad" type deals and this is just a good time.

my friend the other day was saying he's watched the whole thing twice but watched the final scene of season one half a dozen times.

I think that the art of delivering the warm fuzzies is kind of a lost art in the current tv landscape, which makes GLOW so refreshing and fun.

yeah i agree, it's at the point where people start to expect the worst or eagerly predict the feel-bad stuff. like when Justified was coming to a close (and that's an example of a pretty genial good-hearted show even at its darkest) so many people were assuming Raylan would be killed or everyone would die. or on Mad Men that Megan would get killed by the Manson family. so this really is refreshing. and the cast is really exceptionally good.

think that the art of delivering the warm fuzzies is kind of a lost art

You know what else is a lost art is the art of proofreading dangit.

art art art

I wonder if the "grim 'n gritty" phase is something that every maturing medium goes through (at which point it gets more critical attention).

love Glow also agree with the points about exhausting "gritty" TV....has anyone else watched Red Oaks on Prime? way different but has similar 80s setting and real warmth and affection for its characters

the push toward gritty is why i miss playing house and why i like kimmy schmidt

shoot even rizzoli and isles and izombie, even though they're primarily about death, have a lightness to them

("weird" (cough) how all these shows, glow included, focus on women........)

excited for this

oh there’s a treat in store for everyone

(removes bookmark)

have watched first ep of s2, peak happiness ensues

So damn fun. (Three episodes in.)

yeah this show is real good - the ensemble is fantastic and from the first three eps of s2 it seems like they’re each getting some screen time

i stand by my assertion upthread that betty gilpin would be a great wonder woman

betty gilpin is dope
