"In 1980s LA, a crew of misfits reinvent themselves as the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. A comedy by the team behind Orange is the New Black."

—Netflix Synopsis

Based up on the real life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, Netflix's GLOW follows the founding in the 1980s of a bold new venture, a group of lady wrestlers. In the first season, they struggle to even get off the ground, facing challenges including a former soap star named Debbie who refuses to work Ruth Wilder after she slept with her husband and a playboy producer who is cut off from his overbearing mother's funding.

In the second season, though the program is established, the girls struggle with new challenges. These include a director who has previously only directed films, a new member of the team, and complicated romantic entanglements.

In the third season, the team moves to Las Vegas to do live shows after their television program is canceled. There they find new opportunities, but also struggle with the ennui of having to the same show day-in and day-out as well as their increasingly complicated personal affairs.
