Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) on Netflix

I'm a couple episodes in and it's really good. Check it out if you're a wrestling fan, and have fun recognizing all the wrestlers that make cameo appearances.

I am through episode 6 and it really is an entertaining show. It is a bit like Orange is the New Black in terms of its presentation. That was expected since it was created by some of the same people. The development of the women from normal people to gimmick driven wrestlers is quite interesting. I really liked the explanation and execution of explaining why a heel makes a face and why stereotypes were such a common things in 80s wrestling. The cameos by

Brodus Clay
,

Carlito
and

John Morrison
were all really cool to see. The best cameo was
Spoiler:
Alex Riley
. He did a solid job. It also made me miss his awesome entrance music.

I think I'm at about the same spot in the show currently, just finished the episode with Alex Riley (who looked like way more of a star than he ever has). I had a feeling that was Carlito, just didn't get enough of a shot of his face to be sure.

I could be wrong but I think Awesome Kong is the only member of the main cast who is a wrestler, and she does a pretty good job.

We've watched the first three episodes so far. I'm still on the fence about it. Kinda funny at times, but it doesn't work at others. And miraculously they seem to have found a way to make Alison Brie unlikable. It's still keeping me interested though, so I'll try the next handful of episodes to see if I warm to it.

Pretty cool that the show got made in any case. I'm hoping the deeper they delve into the wrestling promotion, the more I'll enjoy it.
