GLOW, starring Alison Brie, boasts a near-perfect 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and continues to attract viewers long after Netflix canceled it. Fans often describe the show as unmissable, with many admitting they were “pinned to the TV” during its run.
Alison Brie recently appeared with her husband Dave Franco in the horror movie Together, which also performed well with critics. Yet, it’s her role as Ruth Wilder in GLOW that retains a special place in fans’ hearts. Set in 1985, the series tells the story of women wrestlers finding their strength amid personal struggles, with standout characters like Debbie Eagan, played by Betty Gilpin, adding depth and tension.
Celebrated for its authentic 1980s vibe, clever writing, and excellent cast performances, GLOW earned a 93% rating. The show was renewed for a fourth and final season, but production was halted by the pandemic and then canceled by Netflix in 2020.
Fans are still hoping for a comeback and voice their disappointment on social media, remembering the series as a rare gem. Meanwhile, the available three seasons remain highly recommended and are available to stream on Netflix.
