Let's Talk About Netflix's GLOW Season 2, Episode 2, 'Candy of the Year'
The second season of Netflix series GLOW about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is back, and better than ever. The Golden Globe nominated series that celebrates all things girl power and amazing odd-ball Netflix comedy.
The performances are top notch (comedy is often an overlooked genre as far as excellence goes) but these ladies are at the top of their games and completely dedicated to the series.
If you missed season 2 episode 1 "Viking Funeral", you can catch up here.
