aka netflix’s GLOW, a fictional dramedy following the production of a fictional women’s wrestling program during the WWF heyday with the likes of Hulk Hogan (who gratefully only appears in archival footage, not as a character)
Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin are phenomenal, and would probably be worth watching even if the rest of the show didn’t deliver at all (which it does!)
this probably isn't going to be anyone’s idea of “prestige tv,” but it’s a funny program with some very compelling choreography, a diverse cast packed w talented women, and everyone’s favorite grubby looking curmudgeon, Marc Maron

worth noting that it was slated for a fourth season that was ignominiously cancelled during the pandemic, despite writing and casting being essentially done and filming having started!!

My all time greats. So funny, heartwarming, and quirky. The jokes don’t feel tired to me as many other comedies do. Enough character development and drama to where you really feel invested, but still light-hearted and enjoyable. I find that so much media nowadays is incredibly profound and interesting, but just so damn depressing or uncomfortable that it’s hard to watch. I’m not usually a tv watcher because of this, but these are all hits for me.

loot on apple tv

finally getting around to watching this since i have a free trial this month (for Severance obviously). wholesome Schitt’s Creek type vibe where a billionaire played by Maya Rudolph starts getting to know the team running her foundation. her toxic ex-husband is played by Adam Scott cuz Apple owns him ig?? love the cast of characters (including Joel Kim Booster as her loyal assistant) and the exploration of what being filthy rich does to a person, as well as smart conversations about philanthropy vs. real societal change. Plus, Maya Rudolph wears soooo many beautiful dresses.
