Keep Ridin'

Oh dear... who did this to my favourite tv show? This is awful. Characters out of touch and almost silly, absolutely absurd storyline, too much bright & saturated colours, bad camera framing, perfect hair and makeup (it was still the 80's right?)... excuse me, what is this?

I thought that my internet connection had frozen when I realised that direction had actually used an ENTIRE track from Siouxie and the Banshees just to fast forward without adding anything else in the scene... Gosh! Bored me to death. Some people should be banned from directing, at least until they have gained some life experience. It is the first time that my mind has wondered watching Glow and it's just because of the brilliant acting that my attention got back to it sometimes.

I am raging that the producers or whoever makes the big decisions has allowed the wrong people to butcher Glow. It's a shame and I hope that the following episodes make up for this one or I won't be watching the fourth season at all.

The only reason I'm writing a review for a specific episode is because this is the first episode of this show that I have "disliked".

The fast forward they decide to do was not handled very well and we're thrown into 6 different plots that had been brewing since the 50th performance to the 200th.

It just felt like a cheap way for the showrunner to fast forward to the ending that they wanted to wrap up in the final two episodes. This is one of the few Netflix shows that I wish they gave a 13-15 episode run. It's also the 2nd shortest episode, nearly 10 mins shorter than the usual and it ends out of nowhere.

It just felt too much like a cop out to warp immediately to the end of GLOW's run at the casino. There coulda been a way to naturally do it, hell ask Netflix for 3 more episodes.

Even the ending of the season felt like it was just set up for the next and now final season, though the next two episode were pretty fantastic. Here's hoping we get some good closure in the final season and finale!
