Given the show’s subject matter, that place, and that time — an era when people unironically appreciated the music of Falco — GLOW could have opted to heighten everything in the show to fluorescent levels.
The first episode finds the GLOW troupe preparing for their Vegas debut in the wake of the Challenger explosion. The harsh reality that the show must go on despite that tragedy establishes a running theme for the season: the degree to which outside forces will demand attention and cause heartbreak for the ladies stuck within the gaudy confines of the fictional Fan-Tan, where they live as well as perform a show whose run, inevitably, gets extended.
The beauty of this season is that these story lines only represent the tip of the iceberg. While the series has always been an ensemble piece with Brie, Gilpin, and Maron as its chief stars, this season feels like even more of a team effort that allows every member of the cast time to shine.
