It might not sound as crazy as a series involving Australians and mermaids, but GLOW has an advantage in that it actually looks good.
Unveiled earlier this morning, GLOW – starring Alison Brie as an out-of-work actress Ruth Wilder – is a series based on the 1980’s syndicated women’s professional wrestling league, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
It’s more a comedy than a doco-drama, but the underlying themes of empowerment and watching the fictionalised beginnings of the league should make for an intriguing first season. Being produced by three alumni from Orange is the New Black can’t hurt, either.
GLOW‘s first season drops June 23.
