What I'm Watching: "GLOW" Season 2

After deliberately dragging my feet in order to actually enjoy the show rather than race through it (thank you, binge viewing!), I finished Season 2 of Netflix's GLOW the other night and can’t stop thinking about that final scene on the bus, which body slammed me right in the heart.

Despite my undying love for Season 1, GLOW broke that dreaded sophomore season curse to deliver a second go-around that was a perfect season of television, one that pushed its characters forward in intriguing and unexpected ways and deepened the supporting players considerably. (Tammé, I love you.)

Add in a timely #MeToo parallel, an AIDS subplot, the culmination of that Ruth/Debbie rivalry, the simmering of the Ruth/Sam dynamic, and one of the best uses of Yaz's "Only You" — not to mention the amazing Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling promo that Ruth directed in the shopping mall and that astonishing eighth episode that I wanted to live in forever and ever — and you have the makings of a pitch-perfect season that I never wanted to end.

The wait for Season 3 is going to be painful, Netflix.
