Win It All (2017)
Step 1: Build Plot - Step 3: Roll Credits - Step 2: ???
An entertaining watch, but there's no recognizable climax to the story. There seemed to be potential, but the plot line was just a steady routine from start to finish. This was about as exciting of a story as forgetting to set your alarm clock and waking up on time anyway.
GLOW (2017)
Blindsided by Bingeworthiness
Wow! I didn't have high expectations. I'm not a fan of wrestling nor drawn to plots geared towards women (not that I'm sexist - it's just not my kind of plot gimmick) and I only started watching this because Jenji Kohan has such a great track record. GLOW is no exception to the rule. I quickly found myself invested in the storyline, gripped by the characters, and engaged in the unexpected edge-of-the-seat action. This is in no way a typical dramedy or wrestling show, and does not have a gender-specific target audience. The 80's nostalgia was on point and I have a newfound appreciation for the wrestling genre after seeing it in a different light. But above all, it's just plain great storytelling and I'm eager to see a second season.
