    Grrrrr....Ready Player One: file it under another could have been great, was in moments but Spielberg should retire and let young guys do it.

    He's done. The magic comes in a derivative form..... the irony he's scraping off his own past glory like someone else is doing it..... if that makes any sense?

    Finished glow.

    Totally get what you mean by that silly episode. Wasn't really needed.

    this season i would give glow 9/10.

    Wasn't really happy with how it ended but i guess they did that as they couldn't really repeat the first 2 seasons. I'm not sure a new season will be good though.

    1 more might be fun but this shouldn't go on and on.

    It finished like that because that's what happened to the real Glow, sort lived TV show that moved to Vegas as a live show.

    That episode was like that, again because it was echoing the real Glow, campy silly trash. They weren't making The Wire or Breaking Bad back then, it was cheap and tacky but that was the appeal.

    Based on.

    Glow was real

    The general over story is sort of following real life, although it was more popular in real life and the TV show lasted longer.

    None of the characters are.

    Cool. Only a year before I get to see it then. Stupid Netflix delaying it in the US.

    AMC

    Happens with a lot of shows that have US origin. They get delayed release to streaming sites or never get released at all.

    It's why I can't understand people in UK wanting to get a US VPN to access Netflix when we have so many shows blocked compared to the rest of the world.

    Ta la. Midnight Special seems to get the best reviews based on what I've read.

    All worth a watch.

    Not sure you'll like Scott Pilgrim mind but I might be doing you a disservice

    A weekly crime would turn it into just another cop show. So yeah, something like Fargo would work.
