G.L.O.W.

30 December 2018: ""You let somebody in, you know? And then you make room. Then they go and yet...the room is still there." --Sam, to Ruth, in the Season 2 finale of G.L.O.W.

After waiting forever to watch it, I finally got to the second season of G.L.O.W., finishing the last episode in the early hours of this morning. This isn't a novel opinion, but it was so good. I loved it--so funny, so smart, and sometimes, so moving. The quotation above represents one of those moving moments, but the humor is even more pervasive--and so great.

Some friends and I have been talking about end-of-the-year "top ten" or "top five" lists of various kinds of culture. If I had a "best woman-centered shows," this would be so high on the list (right there with Call the Midwife, Killing Eve, The Handmaid's Tale...).
