GLOW takes characters who would be caricatures on any other show and turns them into complex, flawed, and realistic human beings. Season two digs a little deeper into the interior lives of each and every one of the women, while also moving the plot along in a realistic way (the evolution of Ruth and Debbie's friendship is a masterpiece all on its own). Heartbreaking scenes about cultural identity, sexuality, and racism, as well as familial strife and economic status, are all in the mix, giving us a more well-rounded idea of who these women truly are. Oh, and it's really f*cking funny.
