The Good Twin

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!

This episode was amazing. It was hilarious and I laughed the whole way through. I thought it was really fun to see the "other side" of this fictional universe, where you as the real audience are seeing what the fictional audience would view when watching the show. Possibly my favorite episode thus far!

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.

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?

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.
