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.
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.

A caustic depiction of 80's fetishism towards the eccentric.
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.
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?
Missing the point
It seems other reviewers have no interest in the finished product of the characters. It's pure camp. It's fun. It's not weighed down by the "real" life struggles of the characters. You can see that they've gone full "IDGAF" and personally feel like it adds another layer to the overall story.
Did you know
- TriviaRuth's "Olga" character saying "What a country!" is a nod to Soviet-American stand-up comedian Yakov Smirnoff's infamous catchphrase.
- GoofsGlow-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.
