The Good Twin

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.

I disagree with the person who gave this episode one star. As long as you accept that this is a novel one off episode, you will probably enjoy it. The skits are dumb and the acting is over the top, but that is the point. It is supposed to be funny. If the real GLOW show was like this, I can see why people liked it. It has the same appeal as old cult scifi movies. It will not be for everyone, but the people who do like it, really like it.

Some people hate this episode and I can understand why. However, I absolutely loved it! The melodrama, the pure cheese and lousy production values. The original GLOW show was like this and a LOT of shows in the 80's were like this. Brings me back to my childhood when I watched the original show!

Indeed a truly solid show. Conceptually strong, excellent cast and overall decent tv. This episode grasped the naivety together with the lightheartness of the 80's and exposed its paradoxes along. I like the way Netflix are trying to bring more people in this sort of nostalgia ride, the same way they did with Stranger Things for one. A breath of fresh air, pleasing from beginnig to end.

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