this was only okay. I think the "guys, its the EIGHTIES!" factor inflates the enjoyment

My wife and I are enjoying this. It's typical Netflix fare: good idea, a little meandering at times, but charming. Allison Brie certainly helps things. A solid B.

Love the 30 minute episode format. More shows need to do this.

I liked this a lot. It did take a couple episodes to get going. I remember staying up late and watching GLOW back in the day so maybe it's just nostalgia. Marion is great in it.

The last half of season 2 was close to perfect.

I really liked season one, but am skeptical that this needs to be a multi season show. It had a really good arc with a satisfying conclusion, and I’m not dying to know what happens next.

I’ll probably wait until my wife is two or three episodes deep and then get her opinion on S2.

Finished Season 2. I think McP makes a fair point that further seasons weren't necessary and there were certainly some clunky episodes this season (i.e. the hospital episode) but I still love the show. Unessential but fun.

This show is merely so-so, but I enjoy passively watching it. Alison Brie is very good in this. Even if the episode itself is kind of wonky, that hospital scene was raw as hell. And I love Stoya.

S2 has been surprisingly engaging. I've only watched 4 episodes but I've really liked it so far.

I really enjoyed the final three episodes of S2. This ended really strongly. And I'm way more excited for S3 than I was for S2.

We got a new cat and named her Zoya. Shelter looked at us like we were out of our minds.

Yeah the cat hates capitalism and is a big fan of nuclear proliferation so we felt it was a good fit.
