Fantastic third season. ... GLOW season 3 is a show about women’s bodies as it’s always been a show about women’s bodies, but here the beauty seems to lie how far they’ll bend before they break.

GLOW is terrific. ... GLOW is about female empowerment, and couldn’t be otherwise, but there’s a little more going on--female relationships, and the unique ties that bind, even when frayed by a patriarchy that profits from fraying them.

GLOW is often very funny, but it also plays (and works) as drama, a balance that would more often be found in an hour-long show. The half-hour format, though, is just right, leaving a viewer eager to bounce and roll through the 10-episode first season.

As a bonus, the finale closes this latest run in a manner that nicely sets the stage for season three. For a show that occasionally felt as if it was precariously perched on the top rope in its first season -- leaving doubt as to how long "GLOW's" light could stay flickering -- this second match pretty impressively outshines its debut.

This affectionate, bawdy fable about the formation of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling phenom is so much fun it hurts. [26 Jun - 9 Jul 2017, p.13]

The performances are superb, especially those of Maron, Young, Brie and Gilpin, all of whom do justice to mostly exceptional scripts. That said, the show doesn’t really find its footing until the third episode. It also falls back on a number of threadbare cliches to wrap things up in the last episode.

Season 3 is a patchwork of meaningful interludes, rote character check-ins, and errant plot threads that quickly unravel. Even Vegas itself is an afterthought.

This show is not so much about women's wrestling as it's about the life of those women who are wrestlers. Of course there's plenty of wrestling and wrestling entertainment involved. However, it's a deep dive into a range of women living in the 1980's and doing what they have to to survive. Whether that be surviving emotionally, financially or both. The show gets better season after season and it's mostly due to the fact that the direction of the show continues to mold the characters to where the wrestling team becomes a support group. All the while, the wrestling shows entertainment level gets higher and higher. I look forward to all and any future seasons of the show and really hope the show garners a wider audience as it really deserves it.

I enjoyed seeing the ladies from GLOW in their new home in Las Vegas. This show continues to focus on important topics in a 1980s setting. These include: equal pay, home/work life balance, racial issues, ageism, homophobia, following one's dreams, etc. But despite the sometimes heavy topics, the show always has a feel good vibe. My favorite scenes were the Freaky Friday one (where they all changed roles) as well as the Christmas Carol episode. GLOW has been renewed for a fourth and final season. I think this is just the right amount of time. It will enable them to reenact the GLOW television show (that I used to watch back in the day) and give good character arcs and sendoffs to the characters.
