    GLOW

    Does anyone watch GLOW, on Netlfix? Really enjoyed all three seasons, and hope that they continue to a season 4. As the series progresses, it's less about wrestling but it's still some really good stuff.

    I've heard it's pretty good.

    I remember watching the real GLOW when I was super young but then fast forward I'm 18 living in Detroit and they used to show reruns late at night right before Golden Girls. So my gf at the time was a super fan of Golden Girls and she'd watch GLOW with me as long as I stayed up and watch her show.....Let's just say I stopped watching GLOW lol.

    Yes, I remember watching the oirignal GLOW at 1 AM or something like that. Patty Pizzazz and Becky the Farmer's Daughter were two names I remember. Shit, Summer and Sandy the Beach Patrol

    It's a tremendous show.

    It has nothing to do with the real history of GLOW but as a trade off you get to see Annie's boobs.

    And I don't mean the monkey.

    Just finished the third season. Absolutely terrific stuff and I think the best season thus far.

    Looks like there isn't an update yet on if the show will get a season 4. With Netflix cancelling everything after the 3rd season these days I'm a bit worried. That and the fact that it was nearly canned after season one due to low viewership.

    Guess we'll see.

    Wonderful show. All the actors do a great job. Awesome Kong is a solid actress.

    3rd season was excellent. The only thing I didn't like about Season 3 is that I didn't like how they filmed the actual wrestling. I haven't rewatched the first 2 seasons, but I feel like I remember them shooting the actual wrestling more like how it's traditionally been shot for TV (outside the ring, a ways back so you can see the match) with a few in-ring action shots. This season, it felt like all action shots up close in the ring and it made the wrestling look bad. I feel like if you're going to make a show about a prowrestling tv show, show the wrestling like you would a prowrestling tv show. Although, maybe they changed that approach purposely since season 3's wrestling was all live from Vegas (for the audience).

    Anyways, that's a super nitpicky complaint that doesn't have any impact on how good the show is. I think it's one of the most, if not the most, consistently great Netflix shows from season to season.

    Yeah, strange situation. Greenlit for a Season 4, then cancelled............Netflix probably forgot about their rule of 3 lol. I think Ozark is about to be the first Netflix original series to have more than 3 seasons. Then Stranger Things obviously.

    I read it was because of the pandemic. Sucks though.

    Cobra Kai lucked out and got renewed for Season 4. I was worried that Netflix would cancel even though they had nothing to do with the first two seasons.

    They probably didn't cancel Cobra Kai, yet, because Season 4 I don't think would start filming until sometime next year....which again goes back to GLOW. Why not wait it out, see what can happen? Idk. The entertainment industry (including sports)....it's going to be a few years before we're back to normal with that stuff.

    That's a shame as it was a superb show.

    Apparently GLOW started filming in March, got one episode done, and then everything shut down due to the pandemic. Maybe the fact that they started production and then had to abruptly stop had something to do with it? Or the size of the cast makes it hard to bring everyone back at the same time when (eventually) things start getting back to some type of normal?

    I really hope they don't cancel Cobra Kai. Unlike GLOW, Cobra Kai seems to be a bit of a sensation. GLOW is great and I love it, but it did not seem to have the level of viewership and attention that Cobra Kai has gotten since Netflix bought the rights from YouTube. And maybe the fact that production hadn't started and then abruptly stopped has something to do with it. Who knows.

    Totally different levels of popularity. GLOW was never on the level of Karate Kid and while the show was cool, it wasn't something that I ever saw people talking about in comparison to other shows Netflix has. I think it stands out a little more in this forum because it's wrestling but look at how little people post in this thread about it.

    Hopefully this means Awesome Kong will be back in the ring.

    Yeah I was more joking than anything about Cobra Kai being cancelled. When Netflix bought that my sister and I laughed because we were like buy it for 1 season then cancel it because it hit 3 seasons.
