    Trolls, Back Off

    This was a great episode. The best of the 20. Funny, creative, and true. The trolls complaining about this episode are dishonest and must have a hidden agenda. God, I hate them. Watch this episode and your faith will be rewarded.

    Hilarious.

    This is very similar to a real GLOW episode. More campy and a great tribute to its namesake.

    Cool premise.

    Bit of a filler in an otherwise great series but tends to miss the mark. Could have been a really cool episode but instead tends to be silly instead of being a cheesy nostalgia hit.

    A Look At The Real G.L.O.W.

    I think that the people panning this episode don't appreciate that the Netflix series G.L.O.W. is a fictionalized history of an actual series and that the original series was presented in exactly the way this episode unfolded. There is a documentary on Netflix that provides great insights into the original series. Watch it and then go back and re-watch this episode and you will understand why this episode is both necessary and spot on. Ninotchka=Zoya. Little Egypt=Little Beruit. And Americana? Isn't it obvious?

    Worst episode so far

    What a waste of time this episode was. I've enjoyed every other episode up to now until I watched " The Good Twin", what the hell was that..

    I'm a huge fan of wrestling, less so when it comes to watching cheesy promos and soap opera acting. This episode dialed the cringe to 11 and it was just off putting and felt forced. I couldn't watch the musical segments without scowling at the tv in disgust. If the original GLOW was this awful it is no wonder it wasn't taken seriously.

    I feel I've been generous with my rating considering how good the episodes have been up until this low point. I tune in to watch the wrestling and watch the characters develop, not sing and dance for the entire time like an episode of Glee or some other garbage chick show. Awful episode.

      Ruth's "Olga" character saying "What a country!" is a nod to Soviet-American stand-up comedian Yakov Smirnoff's infamous catchphrase.

      Glow-bot's clip was holding the floppy disk with Brittanica's brain by the part where the actual inner disk was exposed, which likely would have erased the data.
