I binge watched maybe 6 episodes with my gf this weekend. I like it, a lot.

First, you get to see Allison Brie's boobies. That's nice.

Second, the one girl, Debbie, is curvy and beautiful.

Third, they do the 80's better than Stranger Things and The Americans combined. So much bad 80's hair and clothes. It's so good.

Half hour episodes and if you like wrestling even a little bit, you will get into this.

Brie can be a little cringeworthy at times and a little annoying at other times, but she does a good job with the character.

They really made Brie look homely as hell. Not sure if it was intentional or if she is legit just getting older.

I wonder how much of the story is based on what actually happened and how much is completely fictional.

yea, I don't know how accurate it is or if they took liberties to make it a story. Regardless, it is pretty fun to watch.

brie does look pretty run down in it though. I think it is part of her character. I haven't gotten to them in costume, but I am looking forward to seeing her all done up.

She looks pretty good in the finale, but nothing overly amazing.

Brie is a chameleon. Her character in Mad Men was pretty plain-Jane on purpose.

Alison Brie On The Real Inspiration For Her 'GLOW' Wrestling Persona

With Spandex: One thing I love about the show is that it’s based on [the original] Glow and all the characters sort of have an analog to a real Glow character. How much Ninotchka did you watch? Because you are straight up Ninotchka.

Alison Brie: I watched, there’s this infamous … you know, she’s always making phone calls and talking about the KGB, so I would watch those when working on the accent. I didn’t work with a dialect coach or anything, because I wanted it to be more “Boris and Natasha” than Eastern Promises, essentially. This is what Glow is, so I did.

I watched her matches to get ideas for our final match. And to think even when we were talking to Beth Morgan, who was our costume designer, and she was designing the costume and we would look at … We didn’t want it to be too similar, but we would also just to look at the way that she moved in her outfit and walked into a ring-

I binge watched the whole thing. I found it very entertaining in a light hearted , don't take it too seriously, kind of way. Brie in real life is a stunner. She was purposely uglied down to make her seem more average in this. The guy that plays the director of the whole thing is a good character as well. The last episode was very entertaining.

finished watching the first season the other night. I really enjoyed it. The number of boobs decreased dramatically after the first couple episodes, but the show was done well. Looking forward to a second season.

I think the boob-quotient dropped infinitely, didn't it? I don't think there was a single piece of nudity past the pilot.

was Britannica's boob scene in the pilot? I think that was the only other shot and I thought it was later.

It was later, it was after they all moved into the motel.

she definitely flaunted her sexuality more than any of the other girls, grabbing her boobs while walking to the ring or wearing as little clothing as possible.

I liked her.

That's actually a real planned thing shows do. They show nudity in the pilot or first couple of episodes to get you hooked on the rest of the season. I think its actually been proven to work too. All I know is quite a few shows do it.

As for the show, I love it. Just started binging, got 4 episodes left. I love wrestling so I'm naturally inclined to like it but the show is legitimately good without it. There's some hilarious dialogue and they do a great job making you care about the ensemble. Marc Maron was born to play a sleeze like this. He's perfect. And Betty Gilpin is a fucking smokeshow. Never heard of her before but DAAAAAAAMN Debbie!!!

I was pretty happy with Brie's. Nice and perky and the right size on top of them belonging to a chick I have found hot for a while.
