She wasn't wearing makeup, for the most part.

DickStatkus posted:I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because to me this is a bad show that completely squanders the potential of its premise by taking a campy fun and nostalgic thing like GLOW and transfers it into a dank melodramatic world where every character is literally one-note. Not to mention in the writers attempts to shine light on racial stereotyping they created at least two characters who are more tone deafly racist than any real character that was ever on the actual show. Combine that with character arcs to nowhere, uninspired cinematography and direction, flat wrestling action (when it actually happens, for a show about wrestling....) and it feels like every episode is a Netflix series filler episode. Don't worry. Once the shine wears off I'm sure a lot more people will agree with you. The show touches on a lot of nostalgic notes from the 80's that people identify with. The opening credits were well done, and incorporating the right era music for each moments was great. It was shot well, and I think a lot of the actors did a good job with what they had. Other than that, it was mostly boring and some of the characters didn't seem real. I don't know how much the show deviates from the real thing, and I don't really care. Hell, I was always under the impression that the G in GLOW stood for Glamorous, not Gorgeous. But, based on this: Bash gushing about costumes and that wolf lady poo poo kills any suspension of disbelief. Every time the show built up enough goodwill with some scenes about other characters and their lives, it gets squandered by wasting time with another 10 minute scene of Ruth and her manic over eagerness.
