Best first season show I've seen since Master Of None.

For anyone that grew up in the 80's and loved wrestling, you will burn through this in two days, max.

Great characters, great story, and Marc Maron (who I usually hate) is freaking GOLD.

This is a must watch.

Interesting. I saw the Netflix preview while looking for something else to watch and I thought meh. Maybe I will give it a shot after your recommendation.

Probably won't watch this, but Alison Brie is incredibly hot.

I love it! Just watched the first episode last night. I was a major hulkamaniac when I was about 10. Say your prayers and take your vitamins!

I'd watch just about anything set in the 80s, but luckily this looks like it's gonna be pretty good. The lead actress is very likable.

this is even better on second viewing. There's so much I missed while doing the two day power watch... or at least forgot about.

Just freaking great first season.

Finished it last night. Much more heart than I was expecting. The guy who plays the director is awesome. Loved the scene when he found out about back to the future. Which reminds me how much I love the 80's props and references. They finished the season with a bang. Can't wait for season 2.

OMG this was great.

I gotta thank you guys because if not for ASFN I would have never watched this. I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of wrestling. This show was totally phenomenal!

My only question is; when does season 2 come out?!?! I need more GLOW!

Probably won't watch this, but Alison Brie is incredibly hot.

Yeah I felt just like you... You should watch it. ;)

I think the funniest moment of the season was Justine breaking the tension by saying; "You wanna make out again?" I had to pause it I was laughing so hard.

Best line of the season:

Her hair is brown... the color of $#:+.

I finally finished season 2. Great stuff.

I don't know what Marc Maron has been up to his entire career, but he was fantastic as Sam. What a great character. Ruth's character was great as well.

Season 3 kicks off August 9!

I don’t know why but I thought it was done. Looking forward to more.
